None of this matters until we win. If you get people out to the game just to watch us get our teeth kicked in, you have accomplished nothing and possibly have done more harm than good by turning that person off to us rather than them previously being indifferent. We need someone that can win long term in Denton. Eric Morris is not that dude.

Outside of a bowl win, it seems our prior coach met your expectations and then some.

I just figured since they have baseball.

Where is this from? This has to be athletic program ranking and not simply football because if this were just football we are ranked outrageously high as is Texas State.

This.

How about fall practice has not yet happened? I imagine they told him he had a shot to win the starting job to get him to back out of the portal before spring. They probably told him that Morris would be the starter going into fall and he didn’t like that. Seems like the staff may have just used him in order to have an experienced quarterback putting in good reps for the rest of the offense during spring practice. If true, pretty terrible thing to do a kid that could’ve been working towards winning the ACU job in the spring.

I have to imagine the coaches told him they are going with Chandler Morris and he was tired of getting messed around. He’ll probably head back to ACU in the hopes of winning that job in fall camp.

I’m not convinced that 35th is low enough.

Yep, plus the fumbles and I have never seen before or since (not even at the youth flag level) a pair of quarterbacks complete more passes to the other team than their own.

I was wondering when I posted mine if that nightmare was going to be someone’s first. That was difficult to watch even for us grizzled UNT vets. Worst quarterbacking performance I have seen at any level of football in the 40 years I’ve been watching it.

I got the combo plate of Richard Bridges and Jason Attaway.

Do we rent out the indoor practice facility to private coaches?

I figure if the AD is actually going to be running NIL then they should have NFL type contracts and if the P4 wants to buy our player, they have to pay him AND us to get him out of the current contract.

You make a good point. I still don’t like that he said it publicly though.

Because you aren’t saying it is difficult to compete, you are saying you have zero chance. It is the same as Dickey saying “I hope President Bataille remembers how much we are getting paid for this game when she looks up at the scoreboard tomorrow.”

Very defeatist attitude. Maybe you feel that way in private but saying it publicly doesn’t exactly endear you to fans.

Oh I agree with you but our pal Tom likely thinks he owes us that last year of eligibility. He’s a bit greedy when it comes to young men’s lives and futures.

Where is @Tom McKrackinto complain about how he left us?

You are just looking for reasons to be pissy. He redshirted his freshman year and then played for us for 4 years after that starting 35 games in that span. He used his free covid year (after he had already served his 5 years to play 4 here) to go to one of the top 20 academic universities in the nation where was on the SEC academic honor roll. Great young man and I am proud to call him a North Texas alumnus.

Maybe that is why he and Mason were both at the spring alumni flag football game.

I guess mathematically the Nevada loss was bigger but that Portland State loss was beyond words bad.

Who gets credit for Harrell then? Also, you may want to revisit this article. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2587478-how-record-setting-qb-with-video-game-numbers-finally-landed-fbs-offer.amp.html "Coach Littrell and Coach Harrell...out of all these coaches, they had faith in me to play at the next level," Fine said. "For them to take that shot on me, I'm forever in their debt. I'm going to continue working hard for them and for the University of North Texas." Hennesy has a good relationship with Littrell, and the two had been in contact about Fine and what he could bring to the program. Fine is hoping he can help turn around the culture at North Texas—similar to how he helped turn things around at Locust Grove. "I think I can learn a lot from Coach Harrell," Fine said. "He was so successful at Texas Tech running the Air Raid. I feel like he's the next big thing coming up with Coach Littrell. They are two of the best offensive-minded people in the country. "It's going to be a lot of fun learning from them. I'm going to be there soaking everything up and listening to everything they have to say." You’ll probably point to how he mentions learning from Harrell and how he will be the next big thing. Well, when you have WSU’s outside receivers coaching coming to be your quarterbacks coach and OC, you can only point to his career as a player which any quarterback coming out of high school would want to emulate. The point is, Littrell had the relationship with the coach, Littrell had the scholarship to give, and Littrell convinced Harrell to come to North Texas in the first place. Without Littrell there is no Mason Fine at North Texas and you can take that to the bank.

So in his time here, Seth Littrell signed a CFL quarterback, and two quarterbacks who were signed to the NFL as UDFA’s. Not bad.
