[southsideguy]

if we lose to portland state do you think mac will announce his retirement at the end of the season?

 

I say yes,

He has 750k reasons (this year alone) not to do that.  

[NT1978]

It depends on how solid and consistent the play of McNulty is in the loss.

you think this week will be any different then the first four?

[UTSA Fan]

Should have taken the blue pill...

This.

This is his last head coach money of his life. He isn't walking away from it.

Am I the only one who thinks nothing will happen to the AD or coach until their contracts are up?

[Matt from A700]

I can tell you one thing: If we lose to Portland State, they might as well play their last three home games in Fouts Field (now 1/3 of its capacity after bleacher demolition) so the stands don't look as bad.

[Side Show Joe]

If we lose to Portland State, I hope it is raining.... so I can hide the tracks of my tears.

[casual fan]

We may learn the exact meaning of "a moment of clarity."

I'm right there with you.

I'm afraid, just as they have been with Damarcus Smith as the staring QB or with believing we were going to have a winning season this year, a lot of people are just set up for more kicks to the nuts as UNT fans.

I have zero doubt that we go 1-11 or o-12 this year. Chico gets canned at some point and receives ALL the blame from Mac and RV. We will hear, just as we did with Bumford, that his job is being "evaluated" at the end of the year, but he will get to come back to turn this all around (i.e., it costs too much to us to buy him out). We begin grooming either Greer or Chumley as the next busdriver for 2016, under an OC that thinks McDickney Ball is just the best ever. Our recruiting finishes dead-ass last again and we go out and "improve" our record next season to 2 or 3 wins, with an average attendance of less than 15k for the season, which, of course "earns" Mac another year in RV's eyes (not because it means we only have one year left to buyout at that point, which is the UNT Gold Standard for when to make a coaching change). That's the UNT way--always has been, always will be, until proven otherwise. And the UNT 17 and BOR ain't getting rid of their boy at AD anytime soon.

At this point, as beautiful as Apogee is, I am still just amazed that toilet-bowl Fouts could have more than capably handled the schedule and the crowds we are dealing with five years later...what a disgrace.

We're paying him more than he made at Iowa State (300k thru '01, 600k thereafter), so I very much doubt he'll be walking away.

[oldguystudent]

If 0-12 is the goal of this university, I'll take $100K straight up to fail.  Hell, you don't even have to give me the car allowance.

[untbowler]

if the team somehow manages to lose to Portland St at homecoming, there better be some pink slips going out Saturday Night/Sunday Morning, would be an inexcusable loss in the 5th yr of a coach.

At the very least some harsh language.

Sternly written memos?

MEMORANDUM

To: Coaching Staff

Fr: UNTPrez

Date: Sunday, 11 Oct 2015

Subj: That awful loss 
 

---------------------------------------------

 

I am very displeased with the football team's performance in this week's Homecoming game against Portland State.

Coaches are reminded that in addition to molding young men, an occasional win against schools with significant recruiting disadvantages is encouraged and even expected.

Please be advised that I would strongly encourage you to take all necessary steps to ensure that it does not become an issue.

Going forward all those suspected of being involved in losing will be summoned promptly to this office to discuss the matter. Those found to be violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. Discipline could include loss of privileges of coaches staff.

I think Cosh needs to get canned as well. How could we have gotten so bad on defense so fast?

[KingDL1]

If they can't start wining move them back to Fout's now that is a thought. 

That way I know I would not leave tailgating. 

[DallasGreen]

Move back to Fouts would certainly reduce expenses and be reflective of our product on the field as well as the home competition we play. This is the message sent to the public so have the look of Division II
