Seth Littrell's first season as our head coach was 2016. UAB restarted their football program after two years of nothing in 2017. 

Since then, they have two conference championships and a bowl win (with another obviously possible in the next few weeks). We have zero of either. 

UAB head coach Bill Clark will get a raise to $1.15 Million in 2022. Seth Littrell made almost $700,000 more than that this past season.

I want to believe in Seth and the future, but idk man it’s getting smaller and smaller each year.

I agree about the salary disparity but I disagree that UAB had two years of nothing.  While they didn't play any games during those two years, they added players and were allowed to practice.  When they returned in 2018 they were a well-oiled, cohesive unit.  And, yes, I believe that Bill Clark is the best coach in the conference but he came from the FCS and was given a pretty good raise upon entering the FBS.  Littrell, on the other hand, came from P5s and head coach should be a promotion and a raise.  He had back-to-back nine win seasons and three consecutive bowls so increase in pay was warranted.  Only the last raise (designed to keep him here) has turned bad (so far).  At least, if he fails next year he will leave with rooms of 3* players; far better than he inherited.

So basically the CUSA spit the bit and did a horrible job of setting the rules for a team that VOLUNTARILY quit football.  I’ll be honest - Inlove all of you like UNT brothers but dammit we have to start standing up for ourselves if no one else will.

The "quitting" was a well planned design - and it worked. Got people's attention and they were able to clean up their mess and right the ship. Basically filled Chapter 11 bankruptcy and got money and resources they needed.

I believe that was the NCAA not the conference. I suppose CUSA could have forced them out of the conference but I am not sure it would have been in anyone’s best interests.

UAB moves into a spankin’ new 45,000 seat stadium next Fall.  So next look for their enthusiasts to start shopping for a new conference. AAC comes to mind & they are in that league’s footprint which is half of the American map.🙄

If they move—who would take their place?

GMG!

UAB will not own the Stadium. They will "lease" it.The city and local businesses/supporters have definitely stepped up and put the $$$ in. It's nice, but I personally prefer on-campus stadiums.

ULL? 

I suspect La Tech will block that, as would USM. Since we would lose a school in Alabama, Id imagine the geniuses at CUSA will replace them with South Alabama or Troy to replace them. Or, even worse, they’ll probably add Georgia State because they are in Atlanta, even though nobody cares about them at all.

Why would LaTech have the ability to block. We need to build the conference.

Why would a Sun Belt team move to the worst conference in the country? What does CUSA have to offer these schools except for easy wins?

The way our conference office has been operating, it will be ULM

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
