He has earned it.   Congrats to Tony.   Hopefully, Buzz has a replacement ready to go.

I would imagine this is easy....he stays in house and goes with Bart Lundy.

 I wonder if any of the currant staff at MU will go with Coach Benford ? Guru, that's what should happen , Lundy would be a very logical choice.

Wondering the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me to see Aki Collins get promoted to Benford's Associate HC job. Can't see them offering enough to nab Monarch, but possibly Lundy or Autry could be wooed away.

Brad Autry would be a very good promotion or he could join Tony in Denton I suppose since Brad is from Oklahoma originally and also has Texas ties.

Really tough to see Benford leave, as he is a big part of our success recently and a great guy! Best of luck to Tony.

Of course, they had to wait to name him until after Howard committed to SMU as an assistant.

You don't have to worry about Buzz hiring a quality assistant as he has options on the current staff that are very good and if he goes out of house, he probably has a short list.

Questions. Which of this years recruits were attributed to Tony? Are they allowed any leeway with their NLI? Is this the answer to Hiroshima?

And lastly, I wonder if they have a group called Catholics of University of North Texas.

Oh, if only it were.  No leeway on LOI, Buzz would have to decide to give 'em a break.

No, but that doesn't men that the student body wouldn't use the term, anyway.

I don't know about Hiroshima, but I really doubt either of the Taylors or Ferguson want to follow him down to Denton.

Ferguson's lead recruiter was Aki. Doubt either Taylor would request a release to go to UNT.

also, no player would ever do that. leave a high major program to follow the assistant down to a low major? MAYBE could see them requesting a release to go to a different high major school, but even that would be very rare.

Excellent news for Benford. Very deserving. And North Texas has some momentum so it's not a dog show job.

Couple good options on the bench to elevate so long as its not Monarch.

Don't know much about North Texas.  Is it a mid major, low major, none of the above?
