A crazy but -somewhat- plausible situation:
Today LSU fired John Brady, their head basketball
coach of the last ten years. Johnny Jones, current
coach of our beloved Mean Green, is an LSU alum.
Granted, the UNT team is struggling a bit this year,
but let's assume that, as they did last year, this
team puts together a late season push and somehow
makes their way into the NCAA tournament as repeat Sun
Belt Conference champions. All of a sudden, you have a
successful former student-athlete who would probably
have a tough time saying 'no' to his alma mater. So
Jones becomes the next coach at LSU(ck), and UNT finds
itself without a head coach. To whom do they turn? Hm.
Let us ponder for a moment. A mid-level team, with
talent, in a conference where the NCAA tourney is
reachable, but small enough to be relatively obscure,
but close to a big market. Sounds like a pretty good
situation for a somewhat older coach with a good
amount of baggage and a legacy bigger than my... well,
big... see where I'm going with this?
PLEASE WELCOME THE NEXT COACH OF YOUR MEAN GREEN:
BOBBYYYYYYYYYY KNIGHT!
Am I crazy? Probably. Could it happen? It's a stretch.
Would it be the biggest boost the NT Athletic
department could possibly imagine, ever?
Oh hell yeah.
And then I woke up.
Addendum:
Brett Vito, beat writer for the Denton Record-Chronicle, agrees with me - at least on the first part.
