Don't blame him one bit, the fact that he sat behind Greer and Mcnulty is laughable. Sure he turned it over, sure he probably didn't bust it every day, but does that really mean he was not the most ta

Sad.  Not totally surprised but sad day for sure.  Guy was extremely talented... unlike anything I have seen here.  Wishing him well.

Coaches want to win. Their job depends on it... (Some might argue not at UNT). So either their 100's of hours of of evaluating Dajon proves they just can't see true football genius  when it is right in front of them or maybe the fans jumped the gun a bit on proclaiming him the second coming.  I think Dajon was given every opportunity to show he was the best man for the job.  

No one owes you anything.  You either put in the work and take what is yours or you don't.

He'll go somewhere else and tear it up. Unless he goes to SMU, I'll root for him to tear it up like he's going to.

Everyone at the Spring Game knows Williams had a solid outing. Maybe the best of all the QBs, considering he had to face the first team D. I don't know why the staff and him couldn't make this work. I won't pretend to know what is going on within the football program, but I don't like this at all. We need a QB.

 

Mac will never say why Williams is gone. I wish Dajon would post his side of this story.

He's got two years left, right?  I'm thinking he goes FCS now.  If so, he's gonna set some serious records at whoever gets him.

I'd bet he'll move to a Sun Belt FBS program and immediately win the job.

Don't blame him. it's obvious that he has never going to see the field here. Mac is driving his bus to the back of the pack. If not for one miraculous season where defensive turnovers and special teams carried us, he would be fired. As much as I hate to say it, I hope we win 2 games this season so that we can move on.

If he went to the Belt he would have to sit out a year.  My guess would be a FCS program that would allow him to play right away.

I was before, but now I'm definitely concerned greatly about the future of our QB position. We still haven't offered a 2016 QB this entire cycle, Mcnulty is a senior and D Smith is a Junior, and Caleb Chumley is just not likely going to be a QB long-term. And still no shot for Dillman.

A lot of pressure riding on Means long-term. Smith really better be the real deal, but even if he is he only has two years left.

Sadly this.  I can't believe the kid hung around as long as he did.

I could see him going JUCO. He's still eligible to play JUCO ball as a redshirt sophomore, and it'd give him a good chance to get showcased.

As it is we were the only FBS school who offered him, so I'm not sure if schools who didn't recruit him then would be willing to offer now, without watching him play a full season (i.e. at a JUCO).

As I suspected, the "talent isn't everything, you have to work for it...blah, blah, blah" crowd has come out and I could have predicted who they would be.   So, for the Mac apologists, explain this one.  When the one thing that Brock Burglund and Dajon Williams have in common (other than not being a statue) is that they were brought here BY MAC...and then you add in the debacle that is Greer (again, brought in BY MAC)...when do we start to question the coach?!   

 

I know, I know, for a few of you (actually one) questioning Mac is questioning RV...and that's just too much.

Not surprising, Mac will never openly admit 1 of 2 things... 1. Mac never cared for DW as a person or as a QB and 2. Mac doesn't want to start someone at QB that he doesn't like. 

Regardless of AM's "stats" in the spring game it was painfully obvious to see who the better option at QB was. The staff didn't want to go through the "Tebow Effect" for another season and made it blatantly clear that they were going to bury DW on the depth chart to force an inevitable transfer. 

 

That being said, DW wasn't going to start bc D. Smith is the real deal. And if Andrew McNulty is named our starter going into Dallas I will be expecting nothing whatsoever out of this team. 0 expectations in year 5 is beyond pitiful.

Just checking....do we have facts yet on why he is not with the team? Speculation and then speculation rebuttal sucks. On the other hand, no one is wrong if you don't know the facts.

Maybe DW goes to Nicholls State. Probably set a bunch of records against their defense and could go for some records with their offense.

It's sad. I didn't make it to a single a game let season bc I chose not to. Hell, I barely post or even visit GMG.com anymore. Mac has ruined it for me.

​If the terrifying reign of the oracle of Southlake taught me anything, it's that Denton and UNT and Apogee will still be here when the insanity on the sideline finally comes to a merciful end.  It'll all still be here waiting for you.  Take your time and don't let the crabbies who want to piss contest their fandom with you get to you.

​Just to play the devil's advocate here -- You say "That falls on the coach to teach/coach/train him how to work hard and be a leader." 

Ok, I'll give you that. But at what point do you give up trying if he refuses to take on that role? 

Bear in mind, I'm not close to the team, just a casual acquaintance to one of the athletes and this is not coming from him. 

I'm honestly asking, because there seems to be a major dichotomy forming here -- either he was unfairly booted or he had this serious character/work ethic flaw and it's all on him. Perhaps the truth is a little more in between both extremes and all parties are to blame.

Personally, I'd like to hear more of the story before I start pointing blame anywhere.

​I can see your point about knowing the facts before starting the blame, but it's getting more difficult to figure out why we can't get more out of the quarterback position than we have in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
