This season is also suffering from sky-high expectations. You can't lose as many starters as UNT has and expect the same level of play. I predicted 3-7 to start the year, and unfortunately it looks like I'm going to be right.

Hank and George were mentioning that this UAB squad as the look and feel of UNT's squad last year, and it makes a lot of sense.

I think you'll see the impact of yet another blowout loss next week at Apogee, especially if the weather is cold. We'll be lucky to crack 11k and Mac will have his work cut out. You may have to start wondering if his old school approach is losing a lot of the players, especially the younger players.

A lot of the LaTech fans said the same thing last year. They knew they were graduating a lot of players but did not think it was going to impact them the way it did. We may be suffering a bit of the same.

Ugh- Schilleci or however you spell it needs to go back to drinking and resisting arrest. Or whatever he was busted for.

I don't see much difference between this team & those in the dodge years. Turnovers , poor tackling , penalties.

I'll assume he's also responsible for a quickly collapsing pocket, having ONE reliable receiver and predictable play calling...right? No wonder this fan base made 1:1 Thompson into a legend

The usual suspects - turnovers, penalties, and lack of players making plays are the bane of this team. With Mac not taking the redshirts of the freshman WRs (which at this point of the season is probably right) who can Williams throw to outside of Harris?

This season has turned into giving a lot of playing time to young players and hope they step it up now they have experience into next year.

On another note, what's happened to our offensive line? Are they playing poorly, or is Williams' pocket presence something that needs to improve?

There we go, a bit of life! But we need defensive stops and preferably TOs to get back into this, but I don't think this defensive unit - lacking playmakers, especially Laramie Lee - has it in them. Not when UAB are this confident now, and not after their performance against WKU last week.

But who knows.

We should onside kick it here. Everything to gain and not that much to lose.

But of course, this is a Mac-coached team. So we play it safe and conservative. Hence Greer starting.

And look at that. This is pathetic. I at least expected UNT to be competitive this year rather than blowouts. Hate to say it, but this year is worse than some of the Dodge years. At least we were competitive in those games and didn't - for whatever reason - get the right bounces at the right time to post Ws.

This was also a game on the road, and Mac's away record is bad. Dropping to 6-17 after this game.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
