North Texas AD Rick Villarreal stepping down after 16 years (Yahoo Sports)
North Texas athletic director Rick Villarreal is stepping down after 16 years, a tenure marked by persistent instability in the football program despite the building of a new stadium. Villarreal said Monday the resignation was a ''mutual agreement'' with school President Neal Smatresk, who plans to hire an interim athletic director before deciding how to proceed with a search for a permanent replacement. The upheaval in football started in 2006 when Villarreal fired Darrell Dickey after consecutive losing seasons followed four straight Sun Belt Conference championships and trips to the New Orleans Bowl.
