He’ll be looking for a job after this season because Helton is 100% getting fired. New AD will want a new coach and a new coach will likely want his own OC.

Got a strong feeling he will have no problem. From everything I have seen and heard he is very well respected.

It wasn’t GH....it’s the talent that he had to work with thats the problem. 

Except we lost very little on offense. That argument does not stick. Reeder was the wrong choice to take over, NT would have needed someone willing to keep an offense more similar to the one we had last season, there was no need to change now when almost all the offesnive personel remains the same and you are good already.

Graham Harrell’s play calling cost us games last year. Games we should’ve won.  However, it’s obvious he had an impact on Fine. And Fine was comfortable with him. Fine seems to look more uncomfortable as the season goes along. I think part of it is the Ath Dept sucking everything they can out of him for marketing. From the Heisman campaign to every time he goes anywhere he’s got a camera stuck in his face. I wish they would just let him play football. The other is his comfort level and trust with GH was MUCH higher than it appears to be with Reeder.

GH offensive looked great in the first halfs only to stall in the second halfs after the opponents' defensive adjustments. Conversely, Reeder offense looks sluggish in the first halfs only to grow stronger toward the end of the second quarter and through the rest of the game (basically chasing the huge deficit we spotted in the first quarter due to sluggish offense and defense play.) Pick your poison.

Additionally, Fine doesn't look comfortable in the Reeder offense and he doesn't seem to regularly go through progressions now.

This is my thought exactly.

well yall are wanting Littrells head so this is an option that would either make this program Memphis or Texas State

I don’t want SL’s head. I remember what it was like under the past three HC’s and I prefer to never go back to that. SL is light years ahead of the others we have had. But that doesnt mean we don’t see a bad fit with our OC. We need to make a change there. Because what is there is NOT working. Never have I seen such a confused fine or offense for much of the games. The only common denominator is our new OC. And this, with our fearless QB who is supposed to be in his best year of his college career. 

We won’t have success under this guy.

Last night, our coaches didn’t put together a very good game plan, but the reality was always known. Houston has WAY MORE TALENT  than us, especially on the lines. They completely out-talented us. We aren’t anywhere close to being an AAC or MWC Upper-echelon program. Hell, Appy State and Troy are better than we are, talent-wise. 

Ive said it before and I’ll say it again, but being in the SBCUSA in Texas for our program doesn’t make recruits want to come here. It’s a fine setup for Rice and the UT-Satellites. But that’s not going to make our program ever be any better than it’s been. We can’t beat SMU and UH above us consistently when they recruit players that are MUCH bigger and more talented than we get. It’s why so many on here have no idea how much they hurt our program’s potential by limiting us to SBCUSA setups that make going to games much easier. 

TCU was the blueprint and somebody is going to get the chance to follow it one day by going west. But I’m afraid it’s not going to be us because our fanbase doesn’t want it, even if we were to miraculously get an invite out West.

UNT is still a stepping stone. You don't come back (which, ironically doesn't jive with the old axiom: You never leave Denton).

Old denton would say Seth is a lock to stay. New Denton needs his ass in the hot seat. If he can't get the job done, we'll hire someone who will. 

GH won't be coming back. Reeder isn't the answer. So let's take a step up instead of backwards.

      And the biggest key is administrative support, which UNT clearly lacks. Our Board of Trustees has aligned the university to pursue athletics to support the academic mission of the school and we're all pulling the same direction.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      basically heading into December, I think this is a pretty good way to look at the league, KenPom through 12/1 games in (): Tier 1 - Memphis (31) - I know everyone will be quick to point out their collapse last season...I suppose it could happen again, but this team looks built different. they'll head into December ranked while presumably no one else will even receive a vote. Tier 2 - UNT(66) ; Wichita State (88) - both schools have quality wins over Big 10, WCC, A-10 and MVC schools...nothing really to blink at too much in their losses. Tier 3A - Rice (164) ; East Carolina (123) - call this the over-achieving tier. Rice has a good win now over ASU...hung tough with Florida State. ECU has yet to play an actual road game and their loss looks pretty mid, but 7-1 is 7-1 so far. Tier 3B - FAU (105) ; UAB (137) - call this the under-achieving tier. FAU look like Memphis last season...a solid collection of talent that isn't playing as a team...case in point, they went 52-26 to lose by 2 to FGCU. I don't know what to make of UAB. still, despite early struggles, both these will be tough Ws Tier 4 - Temple (114) ; South Florida (138) - both just look solid if unremarkable. both have some testers in December and it'd be a big benefit to the conference if they can pick up some good wins. Tier 5 - Tulane (226) ; Charlotte (204) ; Tulsa (215) ; UTSA (263) - there's very little to like here. nothing approaching a quality win and each with some pretty bad loses. I almost just made a separate tier for UTSA, but I'll be kind for now since the resumes here all look so similar. UTSA goes to Cali to play St. Mary's Tuesday and then to Fayetteville for ranked Arkansas on Saturday (who made their schedule?)...so once they get drubbed by 30 in each, maybe they'll earn their own tier

      SMU got the death penalty because they were incredibly stupid back then. When the NCAA announced new cheating rules in 1985 that included the death penalty as the most severe potential punishment, SMU responded by phasing out payments to players instead of ending them immediately. At least one of those players got kicked off the team and spilled the beans in a TV interview. Now SMU thinks it deserves revenge because it was told not to piss on an electrified fence and did it anyway. Mustang nation would be smarter to leave the past in the past and enjoy the run they're on.

      SMU's upturn started two years before NIL opened up. The biggest key is the free transfer rules amd the strategy to go after local players at top programs to come home for more playing time, to help out baby momma, etc. NIL definitely amped it up. But we aren't money whipping alone. We have a big time payroll but we aren't in the A&M/Ohio St/etc universe. The money just removes the golden handcuffs of under the table money that was keeping them at top programs (especially OL and DL). ACC membership is huge too. UNT could be running some of this playbook, BTW. More than enough DFW players looking to get on the field.

      Running game

      Yeah, but the guy has been coaching at Incarnate Word and North Texas… That’s not exactly Georgia and Alabama. Almost all coaches would be below .500 against FBS competition at Incarnate Word and North Texas. Especially operating under the rule sets Eric Morris has been operating under with the resources at his disposal. Unless something crazy happens, he is going to get three seasons. You might as well enjoy the ride. A bowl victory this year followed by an 8 or 9 win season and Morris is suddenly looking pretty good. You guys are turning off the movie before finding out if the good guy wins.
