Is that a very outlandish claim in tech goes 5-7? 

I think it’s more outlandish for us to think about 8 wins, in the pre-season and current season.. yes it’s attainable and I hope I’m proven wrong but still likely we end up with 6-7 wins..

We have been critical of SL and his recruiting.. that is his major drawback and likely something other schools would like to see improved

And yet UNT is 1 game over .500 all-time.  Did Odus Mitchell coach for like 40 years? 

Edit:  Theron Fouts was 23-14-2

Also J.W. St. Clair and Jack Sisco.

We might talk about the distant past, Helwig trying to kill athletics, and being underfunded for 40-50 years prior to 2003. All of that might be or is true. If you look at purely win-loss, I don't think there has been a 10 year stretch worse than what was done from 2006-2016.

 

i don't care how long littrell and co are here, it's a Breath of fresh air.

SL needs to prove he's the whole package. Assuming he wins more games lets see how this recruiting cycle goes. He's still learning his HC-ing skills also. Two big years at NT winning..yep adios.

It will be 2020 or 2021 before we know how good the next recruiting class is.  Unless, of course, you value the opinion of some fat guy sitting in Minneapolis over actual results.

Ad's look very hard at the recruiting rankings.  Until we are dominating consistently on the field and in the rankings, Seth will be here.  When Mason is a senior and we go 10-2, that's his ticket to a $4mm payday somewhere.   He's close to home, lives in a great city, and he makes a very nice living.   Let's slow the roll about him leaving.  That kinda talk will jinx us against utsa....it's stupid but true!!

You right. He will be here for 30 more years. #BTG4LIFE 

The buyout for Kingsberry is too much. He's not going anywhere. Sorry to burst your dream scenario.

Corky Nelson was a good coach at UNT/NTSU and his record isn't great. Man, UNT/NTSU football has been horrible for a long time. I never knew UNT/NTSU record over the years was really that bad. No wonder all the really old timers, then me always refer to UNT/NTSU as a "Music School". With a record like ours I now understand why SMU lobbied so hard for UNT/NTSU to be excluded from the SWC. I don't like what SMU did, but at least I can understand it.
"

NT's record has nothing to do with SMU's desire not to share a conference.   They don't want to give an area team any advantage and certainly want to remain a conference above NT.

Todd Dodge couldn't figuratively hold Seth Littrell's Jock Strap!!!

Topic Closed!!

Go Mean Green. It's been a long time since I've seen a UNT Football team turn around a first Quarter performance like they did tonight. I was great to hear on 88.1.

 

 

Why is Dodge even mentioned?  He was a very risky hire that didn't work.

Helwig really tried to kill NT Athletics.

Never a Helwig fan but he did not try to kill NT athletics.  In fact, he was the AD that returned NT football back to the top level.  He financed that return with a bunch of play for pay games both in basketball and football.  How else was he going to do it with an Administration that did not want to spend the money necessary to compete.

 

Also apparently many of you are not history prone, Jack Sisco was 74-38-11 leading NT football and that is the reason that NT's record is not a lot worse.

NT was in the college (lower) division when Sisco coached here.    I usually only refer to University/Major/1A/FBS stats when I talk about stats.

You are of course correct.   However, in the context of 500 wins, the total record is the database.

I expect that our record will just get better, we are no  longer handicapped by a round man in a sweater vest.

Well considering we are 92-174 since moving back up to D1A in '95, we must've been pretty damn good before that.

if we have a 8 win season who will be our next head coach? love for him to stay but he is young and I am sure he wants to coach in the upper levels of college football.  He could stay here and have a job for life with 7-9 win seasons.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
