No I don't get some of you guys. The athletic program is probably at its lowest point in terms of competitiveness in its history and some of you want to put a band-aid on a bleeding open wound.

At the end of the season Canales and UNT go their separate ways,  no matter what happens in the next 7 games.

great news --- finally. 

I think people are going to be amazed at how wide open Canales will be now without Mac around. 

I remember how wide open he was when TD left.... Oh wait, lol it was the same stuff. I liked it then, I like it now. Get the ball into Tee, Wilson, Ivory, Smith, and Harris' hands and see what happens.

Should the team respond positively under Canales, should he be given the opportunity to interview and be a serious candidate?

No

That may be true, but these 7 games are important for both Coach Chico and our program.  We have never gone winless at North Texas.  Chico's legacy here and at future places could well be defined by this 7-game stretch.   I for one am pulling for him to be successful.  As fans we will again get to see the real Chico offense and that should be fun.

He should have had at least 3 quarters of play on Saturday.

In the end, this is all most of us were wanting.  Let's see him for a few games and see if he has anything.

I don't think that Smith's ability can be defined by this game. He will have had only two practices with the starters and he will be playing against an incredibly solid team that is predicted to kick the crap out of us no matter who we start at quarterback. We could trot Peyton Manning out there and still lose by 50. I am happy that we are finally giving some quality time to an underclassman though and I hope Smith reaches the potential that so many recruiting staffs once saw in him.

It would be tough for us to beat them, but at least we shouldn't have to wonder why no highly regarded transfer quarterback can ever see the field here.  And our previous numbers 1 and 2 couldn't translate their success in practice to game time, so am looking forward to the relatively unpracticed number 3.

If Canales had a winning record after the next seven games you bet he would make my top 3.  That is a HUGE if.  Our schedule is tough. Still if we a playing hypotheticals yes I would take a hard look but ultimately think I would pass on him as I don't think he can recruit.

What?  If he managed to win 4-5 games, he should be coach of the year.  Hell, coach of the century.   I'm not holding my breath though.

4-3 or 5-2 warranting a coach of the year or coach of the century?  Only at North Texas I guess.

What was Mac's lifetime winning percentage before he came here, about the same as when he left?  Just saying.

Canales has taken a lot of heat. He hasn’t been perfect, but considering the circumstances and the general philosophy he worked under with a conservative head coach, I think he has done a good job.

I wonder what could possibly qualify as a bad job in Brett's mind.

You people don't seem to get it.   If after the Mickey Mouse operation he's witnessed the past 7 years around here...Chico still wants to work another day after this season is over then he needs his head examined.

The absolute best thing for Mike is to get the F<£# out of Denton as soon as possible.

Yeah, but people tend to get cushy (not "Coshy" I hope) and settle into their jobs. I guess we'll find out how aggressively ambitious Chico is at this point in his life pretty soon.

This.

The willingness to accept mediocrity... Strike that... FAILURE by this fan base never ceases to amaze me.

Its ok to like yourself, people.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
