I'll be in San Diego on the 17th. Leaving tomorrow. I might rework some things to try and make it, maybe.

Well, schedules aren't equal. Let's wait and see our full schedule slate for 2023.

Sure. He didn't go to USF. But make no mistake... expect to see CU in a lot of Texas HS recruits' "Top 5 lists". So choosing CU over USF takes away the direct impact on UNT, but make no mistake he and his staff will be vulturing hard into Texas for kids. This will ultimately hurt programs like Tech, Baylor, OSU more than us, but we will see a trickle effect. Unless of course we keep SL then it doesn't matter at all, you're right.

Yes... butts in seats attendance this season was downright embarrassing. But that's what happens when you get boatraced in all of your OOC games year after year.

We will win the bolded. With SL, the other 5 are all but guranteed losses.

Back to the Seth Littrell is the best we can snab implications. A bunch of hot garbage BS.

No, I knew you weren't championing him as our hopeful new AD on that basis. I understood that. And my comment wasn't a jive at you. But, the "but he's a good guy" is thrown around a lot at lil ole UNT.

I like and agree with a lot of your takes, generally. And I don't think Mosley should or shouldn't get the job. However, the bolded here is a deep rooted problem at UNT. It's the country club model that employees of the department do... go around shake hands and rub elbows while smiling so when the going gets tough, well by golly he's a swell guy. Look, I don't care if the devil, Santa Clause, Easter bunny, bugs bunny, or Jesus is our AD. Hire people that win. Fire people quickly that don't. Build the fan base while fundraising your ass off. And if you can't, then we'll see ya. I don't need to shake your hand or see your face, unless your on a stage helping a sponsor executive present a trophy to our football or basketball coach.

Good bounce back. A win is a win is a win. Onto uta.

To his contract.

I know. Makes no sense. He doesn't recruit. And he has a terrible defense. He came as a favor to Seth? Thanks buddy, for the favor.

That's a good hire for UNT.

Reading through all these threads, we deserve all of this. Too many beaten down betas.

I get that. Then it makes 0 sense.

While true to you both. But money creates power which creates egos. They might have their teeth so sunk into the notion of SL being their guy that it would fracture fragile egos to admit mistakes with wholesale changes.

...consider it a bullet dodged. He would be a better fit at his other offers, cincy and usf. Let's just be glad he didn't go to usf.

Yes, that's how I see it. We can all want to be better and see the program represent the university to the best of its ability. If they move on, it states just that from an organization standpont that being better is a new standard and .500 is not good enough as a representation of the university. If they hold, then they are telling the fans that this is in fact good enough. And if that happens, why bother? If they are content with .500 ball why should the fans care at all?

I'm still a fan. And when direction is clear I'll certainly be back. My only voice is my physical presence, or lack thereof in this case.

Sounds very reasonable.

I have no idea. But I can tell you this without having ever seen him communicate with a single recruit, he's not a closer. With his persona, mannerisms, likes, etc. There is no way he could be. And, as I've stated 27,574 times on GMG, recruiting is everything. You're either wheeling and dealing and positioning a program with power pulls and moves, Twitter snarks, or always talking about recruiting. Traylor, in his recruiting approach reminds me a lot of Kirby Smart and his approach. When either one of those guys are being interviewed regardless of the time of year it is, they are dropping recruiting lines, recruiting catch phrases or straight up talking about recruiting in an obvious advantageous way for their programs. Always. Never fails. SL is focusing on trying to quit staring at the tip of his nose with both eyes during his interviews. His comments are very forgettable, mundane. As if the interview didn't even hallen. Non-existent presence, if you will.

250k

Isn't he contractually obligated to?

People saying it's too late to fire him is wrong. It's not ideal. But it's never too late or early. It has to be right. It was right after the Miami(OH) loss. It is right, now. Can't move up if you don't take chances. I'd rather have a dude in here pulling transfers and jucos and selective HS kids with energy and promise. Then, going 3-9 or 4-8 next season is tolerable. We are gelling. Players are learning. Probably need 1 more transfer/juco/HS class to be pretty competitive in AAC.
