Yes and he was fired cause we expected more. Yet we haven't distanced ourselves from Troy. They are in a marginally worse conference and still kick our ass. So I don't point you are trying to make here. If we wanted or was okay with being second fiddle to the likes of Troy who we had a 6 year FBS head start Dickey would survived another season. Also we would not have gambled on Dodge or rather he might not have gambled on us.

Dickey lost to both Troy and FAU during the bowl run too but luckily for him they weren’t yet in the SunBelt when it happened. He was truly losing to upstarts and nobody cared because he did the impossible 26 straight conference victory thing. Never mind the fact that the total consecutive conference wins would’ve been 13 games if games against future. conference mates Troy and FAU would’ve counted.

Wrong. Being having losing records against upstart and rebooting to FBS level programs isn't acceptable. Like I hinted at but did not state before I expected to maybe lose to La Tech this and maybe a tough close loss to FAU. It not Championship or bust it beat the teams that you are expected to beat. If this program is to get where it supposed to be you have to beat rebooting FBS programs. You have to beat teams with they first year head coach learning his team. You can't lose very winnable games before homecoming losing all the season momentum again and scold fans for not showing up. They see UAB, UTSA, FAU doing more with less so it harder to get excited.

OK, NT's play is not acceptable. I guess you are going to shut down the program than.

You, I, and every other fan can support NT football or not. That is an individual decision and obviously is not going to make one iota of difference to how the season plays out.

Of course it is not what we've wanted.

I'm questioning your point. I feel like you either want a refund or to fire the coaching staff.

What is it that you are complaining about? Being 0-2 in bowls and 0-1 in conference championships after a regular season loss to UAB? You had plenty of time between those 2 bowls and conference championship to complain about that. You are upset because we lost to UAB. Losing is shitty part of football. UAB and LaTech are 2 of the better programs in CUSA. We need to beat those better programs to be a better program.

We need to pay like we expect to beat them.

Touche.

For the record...I don't necessarily want anyone fired. I just think GH needs to be mentored up a bit or SL needs to take over situational play calling in pivotal moments of games.

And I was mad about the UAB loss but it's a culmination of the losses.

Silver lining if I must...At least we aren't being blown out this year in our losses.
