His seat is a little warm because that's where Rick set his Jimmy John's down.

Enough talk of firing Mac.  RV must go first.  The new AD will then "evaluate" the staff and act accordingly.

I'd assume it would take a lot to make him get another season in Denton or does his contract have too big of a buyout?

we really could give a shit about winning around here. You will see DMac for 2 more years.

Thank your lucky stars.

To the faithful and alum, his seat is boiling over. To our piss poor administration it's hour old bath water. Our OC is in the last year of his contract. That is scapegoat #1. Our AD is feeling the heat, but if history tells us anything he is very comfortable, somehow. People are not happy here. Apogee MIGHT see 10k fans in our season finale. 5k would be comic gold and I hope it happens.

Can't really answer this question right now. There is still a lot of season left to play, and we don't really know how much losing our new president is willing to stomach. But, if we go out and lay an egg against Portland State in 2 weeks, Mac's seat might not be the only one that gets hot.

if he was at any other school other than UNT or ISU, who are accustomed too and accept losing, his seat would be burning up right now, but his seat is cool and he is going no where. Nice to be a coach at little ole UNT

It's warm.  It's just comfortably warm.  

Imagine a blustery-cold winter's day in Ruston.  Then imagine you get in your car, and turn on the seat warmers.  It's kinda like that.  He's not going anywhere.

 

Now, the O.C., Canales?  His seat has already burned to the ground.  He's just standing around right now waiting for the hammer to drop.

This made me laugh out loud.

Trust me, it's a lot hotter than most think. Understandably, most of our fans are basing their opinions on how things used to be at UNT, but things have changed since Apogee was built and President Smatresk arrived. If we go 0-12 or 1-11, Mac won't be around next year.

How about 2-10???  I think that's the ceiling this year.

Maybe.   It just depends on how much handshaking for private dollars Dr. Smatresk wants to do for the buyout funds.

 

Edit:   Or, I suppose fly & friends could possibly cough up the cash if they have their fill & want a change.

Exactly--and I hate it when I hear that "this is Texas, football matters more here than basketball does"... Benford and Dodge are both prime examples of how we don't care about winning, just known costs.

Unless things have REALLY changed I bet Mac is fine for this season.  I can see the following happening:

2015:  2-10.  Mac returns because "we're really young and rebuilding".

2016: 5-7.  Just enough improvement that Mac gets another year.

2017: 7-5, bowl game.  Now he has one year left on his contract.  How much does it hurt recruiting if the coach is going into the final year of his contract?  Would we give him a token extension that we can get out of easily?  Hard imagine we'd sign him for another 5 years after only two winning seasons.  He'll about 64 years old ... would he want to keep coaching? 

2018:  ???  He never had more than 2 winning seasons in a row at ISU.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf
