Mentioned to me by a major donor that Seth will get a raise that will put him in the $2m range. I had mentioned he is already the highest paid coach in c C-USA! He says that is not the conference UNT wants to compete in ! They believe the timing is now to make the push for better. They hope to keep Seth at least another 3 years especially with the recruiting that is happening, the IPF and hopefully the new athletic facility on the horizon! If he leaves then they  believe we will have a very successful and attractive football program! Timing is now! GMG

Rumors are that the Cleveland Browns are looking to hire Lincoln Riley away from OU.  No idea if it would happen but they could pay him stupid money.  Better to get Seth lined up now as opposed to later as even if OU doesn't hire him away it could be another P5.  At least make it hard for a mid tier P5 to poach him is what I am saying!

Forgot Taggart left.
Heck, Taggart may be available after this season.

If Taggart has the type of contract that would pay him the contract out minus whatever he makes at his next job, maybe we could get him on the cheap for the first few years and backload the contract.

I'm a little skeptical on this. 

$2mil/yr is plenty (like, needs to be the cap) to keep Littrell here until we actually DO move up in competition level.   At this point, we're basically bidding against ourselves.   We're certainly not bidding against P5 schools, because if the right opportunity comes up, he's going to leave no matter what Brint's balance sheet looks like.
OU could offer him $1mil/yr ($.4mil less than what he makes here already) and he's going to take that job.   

It's not about the money y'all.    If he were making $600k, then yeah, we'd have to worry about a G5 higher up the pecking order coming to get him, but he makes plenty here to keep any/all G5's away.   And when it comes to P5's, money is not the problem (they can all match/exceed what we pay, even if over $2mil), it's the opportunity.

He'd probably go back to his Alma Mater & bring them back up to prominence before he came here.

Just look back and remember all the empty seats at Homecoming and tell yourself Seth did not notice that.  Seth has delivered the goods and the North Texas community has not.

Could it be that the North Texas community has unrealistic expectations that Seth has not met yet? Maybe a bowl win, or conference championship win, or an undefeated season? Question. No info.

We go into homecoming 8-0 that place is sold out. Period.

I would expect the buyout amount to go up with the base salary.

"all the empty seats..?"     I didn't think the stadium was all that empty.

I mean we're gonna set the all time attendance record for North Texas for the 2nd year in a row by a sizable margin.  This with 2 significantly weather affected games (1 against an FCS squad).  I was a little disappointed in this past weekend's showing given what had come before with SMU and La Tech, but that's a reason moving forward that we should actively avoid early kicks at every opportunity. 

For the most part, the fans have done their part.  For the most part, the team and coaches have done their part.  Things are still looking up.

That’s a very #OldDenton way to look at things. We are just little old North Texas after all, that commuter school north of Dallas. Thankfully Smatresk and Wren Baker don’t just throw their hands up and quit at the first sign of adversity.

While we're at it, why is it that the people think the McRib is a good sammich? It is not a good sammich I tell you.

I'd rather eat a burger that gives me nightmares.

I love the McRib.  I can’t make sense of it so I won’t try.  I will just wear the scarlet M  proudly as I order another one.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
