Which is better and why?

Discuss, including context and nuance. This will count as 20% of your final grade for this class.

I just cringed and started sweating...thanks.

I wrote too many papers for Graduate School to even consider going for a Ph.D. not about to do the research, sourcing, developing, editing, etc. for this.

2008 Sun Belt Football Coaches & Records
Troy - Larry Blakeney 8-5 * Lost to USM in NOLA Bowl
Louisiana - Ricky Bustle 6-6
FAU - Howard Schnellenberger 7-6 * Beat CMU in Motor City Bowl
stAte - Steve Roberts 6-6
FIU - Mario Cristobal 5-7
MTSU - Rick Stockstill 5-7
ULM - Charlie Weatherbie 4-8
UNT - Todd Dodge 1-11

Can’t make a fair comparison since we don’t even know who will be in CUSA in 2025, of if there will even be a CUSA.

Ahh, our first bowl eligible year in modern day CFB. Independence Bowl chose NIU over us to go play Tech in the Independence Bowl. We had a fun offense that year.

Only one of those coaches is still at the school now.

Ah the Todd Dodge years...when UNT hired a High School Coach with no experience because he had a Son who was a highly rated QB.

USA Football hadn’t played yet, but we had voted on adding it, had hired Joey Jones as coach, and were coming off an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

And Cristobal is the only other one still coaching. Schnellenberger passed away earlier this year.

Is he coaching full time or 50/50?

Coach Bustle is still coaching. Just not college ball. Athens Christian school in Georgia. One thing you'll always hear from UL fans regarding Coach Bustle, "great guy" and he brought us from the pits of despair to mediocrity.

Steve Roberts ended up becoming the AD of my high school for a while (Cabot Arkansas) and is currently an Executive Director with Arkansas Activities Association (the governing board for Arkansas high school athletics)
