    And again tell me about Seth's OCG record minus FCS games? How many true bodybag games has Seth had to play in? You just hate Dickey and that okay. Just say that don't bring up irrelevant points.
  2. Mike Jackson
    You mean winning conference championships, going undefeated in conference for over 2 seasons, and winning a New Orleans Bowl? Yeah that was terrible. 🤨
  3. Mike Jackson
    If they get to 31 that would be surprising.
  4. Mike Jackson
    Slim chance Aune isn’t that accurate and you didn’t have enough time to get yards in 5 yard chunks staying in bounds. It will b very interesting next year when these other QB’s get to play. Watch UTSA that is a QB we have a baseball player playing QB. Admirable he seems to be able to impress the staff here enough to keep him as starter. He just isn't good. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    🤷🏽‍♂️He is mediocre at best. I guess that is all some people want here. Did everyone see the CUSA championships posted in the last 7 years of CUSA. UAB has multiple and shut their program down during his tenure. FAU hired Kiffin and now hired another coach that has been better than Seth and will probably be better again. UTSA looks on the verge of their 2nd Championship. But it looks like the split is 50/50 wanting to kept this staff before this game. Aune is not good under 60% completions trump all his positive stats. It accuracy that is the most desire attribute for NFL QB. You can have a pin point accurate noodle arm be a serviceable QB (look up Chad Pennington). Seth hitched his wagon to this inaccurate QB and lets him throw too much in critical situations. 🤷🏽‍♂️. Then he can’t get a team of defensive coaches and players that keeps opponent’s under 35% conversions on 3rd down. I don’t know what his defenders see that is so valuable to hold on to. 60% empty Apogee stadium as they stagger through a season chasing 1 game over 0.500 isn’t that much fun.

    “Missed” is an understatement. A Miss is 5 yard or less. Some of his “misses” look like intentional throw aways.
  7. Mike Jackson
    No way that fluke weather aided win by itself should have saved his job. The follow up loss in the bowl game should have confirmed all the previous data that Seth will perpetually be mediocre as Mean Green head coach. He might be better elsewhere but I don’t care. Some places just don’t work for coaches. Like Bill Belichick didn’t work in Cleveland and Pete Carroll didn’t work in New England.
  8. Mike Jackson
    That coach the CBS pregame show pick the Mean Green. According to the co-host he lives 15 miles from campus. 🤨. Band sounds great through the TV

    Tarrant County watch party?

    Okay what excuses do La Tech*, UAB, FAU, and UTSA have? They all have won division championships during Seth's tenure. With all but La Tech winning the Conference. Looking at the big picture Seth only has kept us ahead of programs like Rice & UTEP. That isn't much especially with no hardware to show for it in 7 years. *If you count the co-division championship with UAB when both finish 6-2 in conference when they lost to UAB, that would make 2 division championships during Seth's tenure. Also they won Independence Bowl vs Miami (the real one)*

    People poop pooping on this are just in their feelings imo. If had a spare $50 and 50:1 odds on FAU going to the first playoffs I would bet on it. FAU knows how build and rebuild. If you compare our program to their just looking at the period of time they have been in FBS it embarrassing and frustrating.
  12. Mike Jackson
    You could still do that after the Bowl games are played. I don't think G5 teams with smaller capacity staduims would end up playing at the nearest larger capacity pro-stadium away with one or two exceptions. You have to remember this move isn't about fair competition it's about revenue. That is the primary I don't like Bowl games hosting playoff games in the first place. It isn't about the fans either. Because with the locations be set at the last minute, it makes it more difficult fans to plan trips. It would be nice if for instance that we knew today's championship game winner was going to a specific bowl game.
  13. Mike Jackson
    I really didn't want to see this. They could have had even more meaningful bowl games and not kill the drama of top 12 teams playing in November. The simplest solution was selecting the 4 highest ranked Bowl Game winners after the bowl are played. Maybe a bowl game bye straight to the playoff for #1 at the end of the regular season. That set up doesn't allow Cincinnati, Boise State, TCU (when they were G5), or any undefeated G5 bowl winner from contending. The Michigan vs Ohio State, Alabama vs Auburn lose ugency if they are all rank above 12 when they play.
  14. Mike Jackson
    Not nearly the same and I say this as a veteran. Actually quite stupid. This isn't wartime. The very few times we had an unforseen change in our direct chain of command we were informed. Furthermore we were ask our opinions about potential lower level promotions. How that input was weighed, if at all we NEVER knew nor expected the outcome we suggested. And if your inclination is to tell young men 🖕🏿 committing a year of their youth to you; you shouldn't be leading them. The point is we allow these young men to make huge decisions in their lives and share goals with your organization. But you are too high and mighty to have a conservation with them as a collective? That sounds like BS to me.
  15. Mike Jackson
    The same 18-22 year olds that are somehow mature enough to make the decision put their lives on the line in the military? A conversation isn't control it is an acknowledgement of their value as a part of the program. Most people don't have a say in hiring their bosses but bad organization treat their employees like mindless minions and don't to them about changes that directly effect them. The fact you see the request of the players to have a conversation as some sort of chaos "tail wagging the dog" scenario doesn't reflect positively on you. You aren't alone sadly. A lot disgruntled "wish they could have gotten" an athletic scholarship people seem to be jealous of opportunity the talent and hard work of these young men affords them. Maybe we could load up our program with a lot of one and no star recruits who super gracious hard working dudes. They will get good grades, never complain and get blown out in Apogee every weekend. I am sure everyone on this board will be at their graduations cheering for class graduating senior football players who average less than 3 wins a season. OMG players having an opinions, opportunities, and utilizing them the sky is falling college football is dying. 🤨🤣
  16. Mike Jackson
    Yes, I hope our players are not reading some this "old dumb school BS" and think it is indicative of the average UNT fan than actually comes to games and donate. If you even laced them up to get significant playing time in high school you have felt "the skin you had in the game". It isn't asking alot for the AD and/or to address the players informing them on the hiring process and answering a question or two.
  17. Mike Jackson
    You jest but I would like to see what he could do here with the resources he didn’t have during his first stint. I think he has evolved as offensive coach and at this stage of his career I think he would be less inclined to changed the offensive tendencies that work here. Dickey and Harrell collaborating on an offense might be good. I also think Dickey would recruit here and he would view it as an opportunity to really solidify a legacy as a really good head coach if he can replicate the success he had in SBC in the new AAC.
  18. Mike Jackson
    Unfortunately you might be right. I couldn’t go with a puking eagle reaction or downvote. No reaction conveys sadness. 🤷🏽‍♂️
  19. Mike Jackson
    That isn't the average salary for CUSA pay during his tenure. His salary was always near the top of CUSA. That is the measuring stick not Big 12 or SEC salaries were 1.8 million is Coordinator salary sometimes.
  20. Mike Jackson
    I agree but his bonuses are just gravy salary that has always been in the upper echelon of CUSA. Problem is we only got upper echelon performance 3-7 and I am being more than fair counting 7-5 just because it got us in the conference championship game.
  21. Mike Jackson
    😳 Okay, how long do you give good coach to stay above 0.500 against FBS competition? The only pain would be him going to bottom revenue program and winning big there (places like New Mexico State, ULM, Texas State, Eastern Michigan, or etc). I just think Seth is a good coach with too much mediocre history here to recruit competitively in the AAC. And I don’t see him as a head coach in the AAC for the next 3 year at any program including ours. I don’t wish Seth bad at all. But if he went to SMU 3 years down the line and flamed out because SMU in their hubris thought he would be better there,, I may not be able to respectably contain my laughter.
  22. Mike Jackson
    Presumably Wren & company has a very short list of guys that will be free and won’t take long to consider an offer to be head coach. Seth may resign if he doesn’t get an extension so you absolutely can’t let him and fear hold the program hostage. I think you absolutely cannot go forward with him if they have a bad showing in San Antonio.
  23. Mike Jackson
    Good point but KSU was Nebraska’s and Oklahoma’s homecoming game in the old Big 8. Before Bill Synder got there winning conference with powerhouse programs in the conference with them was a fantasy. Their last conference title before 2003 (15 years into the Synder era) was 1934. Their programs overall winning percentage is below ours. We have 13 conference titles compared to their 3. That is all to say that their bonus structure makes sense base on their historical place in their conference. HOWEVER, it is small potatoes to whine over Seth getting these bonuses. And is a little excessive being critical of the Athletic Department structuring his bonuses this way. Going forward maybe you want a bonus structure with higher goals and payouts for reaching them, especially by the 3rd contact (initial plus 2 extensions) you give him.
  24. Mike Jackson
    Actually I don’t think there is a buyout if we hire him as head coach. With Seth and presumably Phil Bennett gone with him I would like to have him as DC. But I don’t want if UNT is paying Illinois 750k to get him on top of his DC salary his first year.
  25. Mike Jackson
    Let him finish his contract. Extend him mid 2023 season if he beats SMU and has no more than 2 losses by mid-season. If they go out there and having convincing win against UTSA it would be the START of him showing any promise of being competitive with the better teams in the new AAC.
