Put me in the camp of those that dont dig the sow. I think its a mixed message since we rebranded ourselves as Mean Green. I would take the last gen of North Texas helmets over the eagle. North Caroli

Better than an illegitimate bump.  Those always end up with me getting dragged on to Maury Povich.

The kind of honesty you NEVER get from Rick Villarreal. 

If this is the choice, this is another assistant that only has P5 experience and has no idea of the challenges involved in recruiting to and winning at one of the toughest  G5 programs in the country.

Littrell appears to be making the anti-Dodge mistake. Instead of bringing in all high school coaches with no experience at and who had no idea how to win at the FBS level, he appears to be bringing in all P5 coaches with no experience at and who may have no idea how hard it is to win at a low level G5 school. 

But footballl is football, right?

So, Mac brings in Cosh who was a DC and at a G5 as well as P5 schools.  Well, we all know how that turned out.  Have any thoughts on that?

I just want a coach that can coach defense.  Under your line of thinking, we could hire Kirby Smart and you would be pissed he hasn't recruited to a "lower tiered" school.

Oh, and I'm sorry, was this thread about RV?  Didn't think so.

Energy is overrated. I want a coach who can, you know, coach. I don't care if he has narcolepsy. I don't mind if he needs 5 Red Bulls to get to baseline. I just don't care about anything other than, can he coach a defense that mixes in some blitzes every now and again. Can he recruit the depth we need to be able to rotate fresh legs in and out of the game. Can he disguise his looks enough to not make the opposing coordinators laugh Gatorade out of their noses in the booth. 

 

All energy gets you is a bad ass drum solo.

That gif gave me my first laugh of the day.  Thanks man...

Whats annoying about your post is that you keep on bringing up only UNT coaches... Why don't you look at what other successful schools?  You continue to second guess every decision that Littrell makes is obnoxious.  Honestly, seeing your post every 5 seconds makes me not want to visit the board.

Wow, crazy drummer. My favorite drummer is Fred Young from Kentucky Headhunters because of his sideburns.

I also really enjoyed the Chad Smith/Will Ferrell drumoff.

See ya.

What annoys you is any rational discussion that isn't all "rah-rah coach Littrell is the best coach ever to never win a game!"

Just like the people who expressed concerns about Mac's record inmediately after that hire, you seek to shout down any concerns expressed about Littrell or the hires he is making.

So read, don't read. Don't care.

Come on 90 there has to be something positive with the changes taking place in football. Did you ever believe UNT would hire one of the top OCs in the country? Did you ever believe we would pay $1m (based on board having to approve over 1m commits) and have one of the highest paid coaches in the conference ?

Come on you can do it!

Substance over style. Doesn't matter how much you pay someone if they aren't the right person.

And I'm not saying that Littrell is the wrong hire, but if this is his DC, I have HUGE concerns not only about his assistant hires, but also about the lack of detailed attention he is paying to the defensive side of the ball.

I'm not in a position to say what will work under Littrell.  Frankly, neither are you.  

I trust the presidents decision to hire Littrell.  Then, I'm putting my trust in Littrell because he's the professional, not me.  Littrell hasn't given me an excuse not to trust him.

Sure, I have questions about the hire.  I didnt think Harrell would be the OC, I was talking to a person about it on twitter.  I thought he was inexperienced because of what little I knew about him.  The more I looked him up, the more I found out I was wrong about Harrell.  Saying that someone needs to do this, do that.  No, thats not how things work.  I know this is a message board to vent but you're not venting anymore.

That's what a rational person would do. 

On a side note-- Can the mods limit how many times 90 post the same thing over and over again.  I think the majority of the audience is tired of the same old song and dance.

Ah, censorship because I don't buy into feel good BS that has been dished out around this program for decades. What a peach you are.

How about this. If you can't take an opposite opinion, just don't read it and move along to the next post.

I mean, that's what I started to do with you (unless you directly address me).

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
