I'm a little surprised Kiffin signed that thing.  I don't recall what he was making before, but I don't think that's a substantial raise per year.  Watching him from the outside, it looked like he was positioning himself for another shot at a P5 HC gig.  And I would expect the P5s, and solid P5s, to come calling sooner rather than later if he has another year like last year.

It would make sense is if Kiffin really wants to stay at FAU for the long haul.  But does he really?

When he leaves FAU will implode and that is not good for the conference. It’s a double edge sword, the publicity is great but he’s not building a solid base he’s all about winning now and probably not in a legit way.

I hear he lives on the ocean.  The fan base love him.  The University will do anything he asks.  He's winning.  Except for the ego boost of coaching a national championship contender, he's got everything covered.

The $2M buyout is nothing for a major P5.   He may stay awhile but the contract is no hindrance to him leaving. 

Yep.  UT bought out Herman's $2.5M.  Nebraska bought out Frost's $3M.  Florida bought out CSU's $5-7M

Those Power 5 schools have media contracts that bring in $25 million or more per year. It’s not that hard to invest some of that into the coach you want from the minor leagues that you keep under your thumb by controlling the NCAA and media.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Not sure everyone is understanding of college football landscape. On our current roster 4 players from Littrell era contributed to wins this season. Jordan Brown, Damon Ward, Jett Duncan, and Rod Brown. We played 10 games with a very sub par DC. We did not pursue the portal near hard enough to help fill holes in the defensive scheme. IMO at our level we should be a 4 down front with the ability to hop in and out of 3 down when needed in favorable down and distances. 46 players on the current roster are Jr or Sr. The vast majority of this roster are So, RS Fr, and the biggest group being true Freshman. You don't win a bunch of games at any level with a bunch of true freshman. The fact we've been in them to compete has been a miracle (No I am not happy we aren't pulling them out or winning.) The young and transfer talent they have brought in is encouraging to me personally. Should we play better, should we be making more plays, ABSOLUTELY. However, coach can't catch the ball for guys, coach can't catch wide open TD's for guys. Coach can't magically make a walk on WR/ ST guy into a bonafide D1 RB. Our scholarship RB's have been banged up like crazy and we have relied on a walk on, and 2 True Freshman RB. I think we go to Temple, play very well and get into a bowl game and then its on. Coach lost our most productive OL in pregame to a freak injury...... PREGAME. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. Is he perfect? no, but to call for the staff and his job is silly in year 2. The guy did a total rebuild last year and had us IN games with a completely rebuilt roster. He needs to make the right DC hire in the offseason. My pick is La Tech current DC. We will see what happens.

      What is this program missing?

      We need an offensive coach who puts the defense first. All the teams mentioned (Boise, Tcu, Cincy, UCF) had badass defenses paired with high flying offenses. You CAN still play fundamentally sound defensive football but you can’t pair it with an offense that kids don’t want to play in (what doomed Mac). I actually think DD in 2024 would do both. So the answer is find the next Darrell Dickey. HFC is tricky to hire. He’s got to be someone that can recruit assistants, first and foremost. Dickey had been around a long time and came from a football family (his Dad was KSU HFC) so he had ties everywhere. With a young coach you are betting that he, himself, is going to win games and account for a lack of a deep staff…or that other coaches see him as someone on the rise that they ride the ladder with. That’s what Littrell initially brought and his first staff was tremendous. Then as they started taking promotions he couldn’t replace them. All the doom and gloom in this thread is tiring. UNT still funds the football program at a level that is competitive with the top of the g5. Maybe we need to bring up NIL, but overall, we’re not nearly as far off as some people would have you believe.

      Flyover?

      I heard it was a mispelling, it read elph, it was supposed to say help, so turned around.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      Let's see if @Cougar King shows up here after our ladies completely dismantle Houston in their own house. Mean Green win 69-53. Light the tower green. I loved when Van Chancellor said he would give the Top Dawg belt to Wooten and the hustle belt to Deck of North Texas and he would give the hustle belt for Houston to their player Love, but you don't give a belt to losers. Hahaha.

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      You guys realize that all that has happened to this point in the season is that we’ve beaten all the teams we should have (teams with way below .500 records) and lost to every single team that had a winning record? It’s exactly what a mediocre team does. We’ve seen this show for years now. It’s just that the way our schedule lined up it looks like a collapse. Next week we play a pretty lousy Temple squad. I expect we will win that game unless it is played in a winter storm. Then we can judge if this was a collapse, or just doing what we’ve been doing since 2021.
