How is this happening?

MWC might want to give Portland St a look

MWC might want to give Portland St a look

We're making them look a lot better than they really are.

[Eagle-96]

1. We don't have the money to buy Mac out

2. Mac ain't walking away from $750K pride or no pride he ain't stupid

3. Get used to more of this cause Mac is not going anywhere

 

[techdawg88]

We're making them look a lot better than they really are.

but they'd look better in MWC than San Jose St or some others currently in there

[Cerebus]

THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE LET IT HAPPEN.  EVERYONE EMAIL SMATRESK TONIGHT AND DEMAND RV AND MAC BE FIRED.

[Mean Green 93-98]

1. We don't have the money to buy Mac out

 

Bull.  At this point, we can't afford to keep him.

Keeping him around, even until the end of the season means another cluster of awful games. That means the players are going to be harder to motivate into next season, it's a bad showing for the public, and it'll likely crush hopes of decent recruiting. It'll be a short term pain but the long term will do better. Mac's gotta go. RV has to go. The new AD needs to eval the remaining football staff, toss out the men's head coach and likely the women's coach, too.

North Texas en route to the most lopsided loss an FBS team has ever suffered against an FCS opponent since split in 1978.

Wow.  That says it all.

[Side Show Joe]

How did this happen?

1. RV scheduled the wrong bodybag game for UNT.

2. Mac didn't recruit and coach a FBS quality (or FCS quality) North Texas team.

3. The university administration hasn't stepped in and addressed the obvious failures of our current athletic program.

The first one is irrelevant. There is no such things as the "wrong FCS team" when you have a good program.

I agree that we can't afford to keep him but where is the buyout money AND the money for the new coach and staff gonna come from. If we want a good coach we are gonna have to pay for it.  Remember we also have a BB hire on the horizon as well.

Football is king.  If need be, a new basketball hire can be put off for a year.  As far as staff, they're all on 1-year contracts except for Chico, and his 2-year contract expires at the end of this season.

If they could find the money to pay Coach Mac $800k a year, they can find the money to buy him out if it's dire enough.  And today should make clear that it's dire.

Again, I agree but I Just can't bring myself to believe that we will do the right thing and shit can the staff and start fresh. It's a rare thing for UNT to make the right move in athletics.

[Green Mean]

Man, I hope the team hasn't given up.  If so, that would make us this year's last year SMU.  When a Texan gives up...as a team...that is the worst possible situation.  Hard to recover from game to game in that situation.  My heat bleeds green!

Last year's SMU team would absolutely embarrass us.

[GRN-WHT]

Because 17 asshole brownnosers allowed it to happen.

[UNT90]

This is what happens when 17 people  value friendship and access over winning.

This is what happens when an AD manipulates 17 people into believing that nothing is his fault. Ever.

And straight to @flyonthewall.  You need to decide if you want to be Rick's friend or if you want to have a winning athletic program. It's F'n plain as day to everyone but you. 

Because no one else has RV in their F'n ear 24/7.

MWC might want to give Portland St a look

every team in that division would stomp the shot out of them. 

They aren't that good. We are that bad. 

Yall will score 80 against us. 

[GM1998]

The Portland State coach is putting together a good resume today for any opening which might come open. *hint*

"Maybe they are quitting on purpose. Perhaps it is Machiavellian. A loss like this certainly makes a statement. If it isn't a munity then I am speechless. 

[LongJim]

This team is not 66-0 bad.  Which speaks to something I'm not even going to write on this message board.

[TIgreen01]

People want to not criticize players.  After today, they are fair game. Quitters.  That is what they are.

Very difficult to continue to support anything related to this football program.

[TheWestie]

Most embarrassing game that I have ever experienced at any level in any sport.  No point in supporting a program that won't support itself.  

I had to take photos once at a D III softball game that ended 27-0 in the 2nd inning. It was like watching Mike Tyson fight a blind baby in a wheelchair.


Tonight was worse.

Agreed, it was all quit today. When you just watch guy run by you, when you drop half the passes, that's all that is.

[oldguystudent]

52-0.  Still the third quarter.
