***Have 4 DT now. Will sign 1-2. Will ST/retire an older player(s)
***Have 3 DE now. Will sign 1-2. If 2, will also ST/retire an older player
It’s long, but please read it through. Want to give you all the info you need to make the call up front.
North Texas THumpers are on the lookout for solid agents & players to contribute now and be the Man of the future. Several current THumpers are getting gray hairs and will be sliding into ST roles or retirement this season/next.
Can you help them transition out?
Moved to USA AAA1 after 14-2 season.
Worst season ever - 8-8
S7 Conference Champsionship
Playoffs 9 of 10 seasons - one lost season (8-8) used outside OC, recovery painful but complete now.

We’re serious about winning (8 of 9 seasons with playoffs, Conference Champs in S7), but have a laid back attitude. Competitors that realize it’s a game and it should be fun.
So how do we approach the game? Simple goals & team concept:
- Everyone plays. PT to max XP or more. See your guy produce, develop on schedule. If the play count drops, we fix it. Not perfect at it, but an honest effort to get everyone there.
- EQ. We drop salaries and bonuses down low (always cover training) so we can plow the cash into your EQ. Want everyone to have every advantage they can get. Bought every piece so far. Owner’s old player's are NOT expecting any more EQ, those savings go back to team as well.
- Long term approach – prefer 2-3 year deals. Return on investment for EQ, continuity of the team. S10 roster averaged 3+ seasons with team – EXCLUDING owner’s players.
- Everyone has input. While we have had some issues with outside coordinators in a couple of seasons, we still look to guys on the roster for input. Be as involved as you want to be. I don’t know everything and neither do you, but together we might just figure it out. Get better together.
- YOU control your player build. To me it’s a big chunk of the fun trying to figure out the best build. If you have a specific profile (like pure pass rusher), let me know and I can juggle the depth/personnel to make the most of it. Just keep up with your guy and I’m happy – don’t let the team down. If you DO want help, ask away - guys will step up with threads, thoughts, etc.
Offensive philosophy?
- Like balance in all things, but will adjust to personnel, scouting, etc.
- Try to be similar to Oakland Raiders of the 70’s – pound it on the ground, vertical throw game. Have started to mix in a little more variety in throw game lately with good success.
- QB is young and solid.
- HB - have a stable of three with varying styles, try to put them in the best position to maximize output. 1400, 1100, and about 800 from HB/FB combo
- WRs - retirement got a couple top guys, but young guys were stepping up big and should continue to do so. Added quality FA here as well.
- OL has been a solid part of the team from the beginning. Getting a little old, but still a good group. LT is in the top 10 almost every season.
Defensive philosophy?
- 43 base front
- Want to be aggressive, but not just to be aggressive. Overall scheme has to be sound – accounting for all receivers was a hang-up for our outside DC (quit and gutted AI when pointed out). Took a while to get a base AI back in place, but it’s pretty solid now. Want to get the personnel in place to matchup better and maybe allow a more aggressive approach.
- Pretty much man cover. Have toyed with some zone concepts, but not happy with it yet. Mix and match on assignments, mix cover 1, 0 and man-under concepts based on front and offensive tendencies.
- Will use depth chart slots for situational subbing if we have the right guys.
What do we need?
- Primary needs are G, T, DE
***Have 3 guards now. Will sign 1-2. If 2, will ST/retire an older player
***Have 3 OT now. Will sign 1-2. Also If 2, will ST/retire an older player
- Secondary needs DT, LB, CB
- We’re always open to any improvement, so if you think you can be an impact guy now and shove our current guys down the chart, fantastic.
- Youth movement is in progress. S4+ builds that can honestly contribute today and take over in 1 season are what we’d really like.
Specific Immediate Needs –
P. NA
QB. NA
HB. NA
WR SIGNED
G NEED 1-2 Aging - level off this season - need the next wave
OT NEED 1-2 Aging - level off this season - need the next wave
TE MINOR - Blocking/balanced TE will be looked at
DT NEED 1-2 Aging - move my guys to ST/retirement
LB SECONDARY NEED - want 6 total LBs in the rotation. Some aging, need those young guns to come in now and really step up next seasons. With enough signings can slide my oldest into ST only/retire
CB – everybody’s trouble spot. Getting old here, need some youth and upgrade if possible.
INTERESTED? Next steps –
PM with the following:
- Any questions you have that aren’t answered here.
- Full build info/link to open profile.
- Your expectations, if any, and why you’re a good fit for us. (Are you a now guy or willing to be a long term guy with us?)
- Current EQ situation
Any way it falls, good luck in Season 12!
