North Texas hires Benford

[FriscoPMG]

With SMU, TCU and UNT all getting new coaches in the same offseason (and throw LSU in for fun), it'll certainly be interesting to see who emerges as the leader in the clubhouse 4 years from now.

The North Texas Community College fans don't seem excited about the hire.

They aren't excited about it at all. If he does well there we can hire him when Brown leaves.

Are you kidding?? They should be dancing in the streets. Did they think they were going to get Coach K???

They wanted a proven head coach, see Fran Fraschilla

[SMUer]

Should I feel a little deflated by this? I know I shouldn't but I do.

[Comet]

Well, I guess it's time to see just how good Benford is with X's and O's.

Good hire. Now we will have two Head Coach in Waitings

Take your pick.

I wouldn't be deflated. Of the assistants, we preferred Collins over him.

[Mitch McConnell]

That's the kind of job that the top assistant at Marquette should be getting. I would have liked for him to be a head coach in waiting candidate but you can't take away from someone who aspires to be in the lead chair.

NBD. If he's successful there, we will hire him away

800k for a coach in waiting to be behind Larry brown who no way will last more than two seasons.....or head coach at unt....honestly, a tough call. Previous coach at unt did well enough to get a head job at lsu
