I found the last tweet in the below link pretty funny and dead on, although DMac deserved what he got. I will address this very subject later this week after the firing and bad loss noise has subsided:

It needed to happen but I like Mac a lot and wish him nothing but the best.  He is a good person and I think he really cared about the program and I wish it had work out for all of us.  Good luck mac in anything you do in the future.

The last tweet is stupid.  The schedule is why we're 0-5?  Really?

It's an embarrassment and I'm still infuriated. UNT just set a record for the worst loss to an FCS school. How stupidly ridiculous is that??? Now Mac gets his buyout on his contract. We made national news for all the wrong reasons. RV & Mac kicked NT square in the nuts last night.....

Yes. Really.

Scheduling Portland St. is unforgivable. RV looked at their record last year, not their personnel. He made s rushed decision because he didn't work hard enough early enough to fix an awful 2015 schedule. Remember, we didn't pay 500k for this game until January of THIS YEAR. That is extremely late for college football scheduling. He panicked, and because of that we are now in the NCAA record book.

You should never schedule an FCS capable of beating you...

especially by an NCAA record 59 points. 

This loss is as much on RV as it is on DMac. RV should have resigned or been fired right after DMac. Hopefully that happens this week to prevent a mass exit from the MGC. 

This is absolutely as much RV's fault as DMac.

I'm with you about RV's place in this mess.  The schedule is just way down the list of things wrong.

I suspect we could have played a different opponent yet the end results (loss of the game and firing of the HFBC) would have been the same.

I get that you don't want to kick a guy when he is down and he did do some positive things but let's be real here.

The guy wouldn't shut up about Iowa and his position coach NC ring at Florida. He never lost to a team that wasn't a "really good team, Brett" since he has been here.

This guy let things get SO BAD that we are paying him 3 million FREAKING dollars just to go away! Think about that, we are paying him 4 years of salary to please not work for us anymore.

I appreciate him not verbally trashing the program on the way out but Todd Dodge did the same thing and cost a lot less to get rid of. Dare I say Dodge may have been even classier when he left than McCarney?

Look, no one on Earth expected Portland St to turn it around like they have.  The AD's fault doesn't like with scheduling PSU.  The fault comes from hiring a head coach that so lost the team that we got throttled by PSU.  

That team I saw yesterday was so checked out that we would have lost to last years Texas Southern team.  When you remember that this is the SECOND STRAIGHT coach who so lost the team we had to fire him mid season, that's the cause for termination.

I just hope Coshnales can turn this thing around enough to at least be competitive from here on out.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.

      Denton, America ???

      I say wait until Denton shows NT some love first.... before NT proclaims it's love for Denton.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/12/25)

      Get your rears to The Pit tomorrow! The ladies have a difficult opponent to face coming off their failed comeback in New Orleans the other night. South Florida is 11-6 but tied for a league-best 4-0 in AAC play. They were picked to win the conference last year but we beat them in our one meeting in Tampa. USF absolutely crushed Wichita State the other night in Kansas: 72-46. Tickets: https://meangreensports.evenue.net/event/WB24/WB10
