    UNT hires Conroy Hines

    Conroy Hines was added to the UNT coaching staff as the WR coach. Good hire? Will he be missed at Louisiana Tech?

    I would like some honest opinions on Coach Hines.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: UNT hires Conroy Hines

    many on here didn't like him. i personally think it is difficult to evaluate him as a wr coach. his first try at that position he had an outstanding wr squad. his second attempt, not so much. in between those times, he was offensive coordinator for one of the most prolific (and adaptable) offenses in the nation until his final year at that position. others have criticized him as an oc, but i found him to be good at tayloring the offense to the talent available, and excellent at situational play calling.

    most importantly, it is reported that he was a huge factor in holding players accountable academically and keeping them eligible.

    others may disagree, but i will definitely miss him.

    See this thread, Green. I personally think he'll be missed -- at the very least as a positive influence on the young guys in the program.

    He was not on staff when UNT hired him. Coach Dooley fired him before he left for Tennessee.

    He was probably fired by Dooley because he was a poor recruiter. He recruited Arkansas for the last 3 years and never signed a player.

    Re: UNT hires Conroy Hines

    I think, as with any coach, you have those who liked them and those who didn't. Conroy is a very loyal and dependable person. I think his personality and coaching style was probably much different than Dooley's and that Dooley probably kept him on staff as long as he did probably because he had to do so. In hindsight, I think many will have to say that when Conroy was OC, our offense was better than we thought at the time although still fairly predictable. I've heard that he wasn't exactly a strong recruiter. However, once you get the kids on campus, he is very approachable. He's that way for the fans as well. In addition as someone pointed out, if you want your kids to make the grades, Dodge would do well to assign the academic mentoring to Conroy. He'll make sure the kids are getting to class and getting their work done while at the same time establishing good relationships with the academic faculty.

    Right now, that fact is too early use as a qualification on Conroy's ability. Dooley should have fired himself. Personally, I believe Conroy's and Dooley's personalities clashed, and to be honest, Conroy was probably relieved.

    He was great at helping our boys maintain academic eligibility and one of the reasons we have the top graduation rate among athletes in the state.

    Wonderful person. Would be a great academics/character coordinator, but is a coaching trainwreck.
