Cr1028

You make me want to call up Will Smith. This is worse than any haunted house I’ve ever been to.

Littrell fired both Reeder and Bowen after only one year. He even fired his original DC (although I didn’t agree with that move as much as the Reeder and Bowen firings). He wasn’t given much rebuild time after firing Bowen and bringing in Bennett.

Thank you for the info.

Don’t know the answers to all of these but I know the DC was Justin Deason who is now an assistant at New Braunfels Canyon HS. He must’ve had some success because he won a D2 title at TAMU-C with Carthel. https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2023/02/27/five-possible-candidates-to-be-the-next-dc-at-sfa?ref=article_preview_title

Morris was hired 3 days before GJ Kinne coached his last game at UIW. Kinne’s Texas State team is bowl eligible for the first time in 9 years with 3 games left to play. Morris, on the other hand, is on the cusp of having us miss a bowl game for just the 2nd time in the last 8 years. Texas State went from 4-8 to now 6-3. We went from 7-6 to 3-6.

I’ve heard he is really good at slowing G5 offenses.

He was being sarcastic.

How was he rewarded for that growth? Walking papers.

I agree

Ok who wasn’t a mistake football wise and who would you have hired that was available?

App State is not like other G5s. By your logic I guess there are zero G5 DI football programs in the state of Texas.

A tale as old as time. An Air Raid guy can’t find a defensive coordinator to slow the opposition enough to win big games. How many titles do air raid head coaches have (without the Bob Stoops premade setup)? What percentage of the seasons they have coached represent?

The difference is Littrell would’ve beaten FIU handily. He was frustrating but better than those before and after him.

Is that what Chandler Rogers did?

This is absurd. Outside of Cal, and maybe, (maybe), Tulane, who was the tougher competition? We played several of the same teams as last year. Temple and Navy are not good. We were 7 points closer against Memphis but still lost. We were 4 points closer against UTSA but still lost (although I’d argue last year’s UTSA game was closer despite the final score). We were 45 points worse against FIU and lost when we beat them last year. We were 17 points worse against LaTech but still won. Based on common opponents, we are one game worse than last year. The only way for Morris to change that would be to beat SMU or UAB and I don’t see either happening.

Pretty crazy to think he is only one high school class younger than Mason. Jaelon Darden and Frank Harris were in the same recruiting class and Jaelon has already been in the NFL for 3 years.

I think you trust the guy calling plays against defenses over the last 2 decades. I doubt Mosely would have better luck picking one himself. I get the Todd Dodge/RV bit but at least Caponi has been around the college game awhile.

The surname of the Mizzou/Southlake quarterback is Daniel, not Daniels.

I was being sarcastic.

So is it also an indictment on Leipold and his lack of quality QB coaching?

Yes and when The Stand happened, and when the HOD bowl win happened. We were wearing black for all of them.

Looks good

They have only gotten better each week because they started the season much worse than they should have. We weren’t bad last season. I will hold judgment until we show something against both UTSA and SMU. If we can beat UTSA and keep it competitive with SMU then I may give you and Morris your due.

Haha very nice
