OOC will be tough in 2021.  3 will be hard to win. 6-6. or 7-5 might be realistic.

We gave up an average of 41.3 points a game this year and 509.4 yards.

What are realistic goals for 2021?

Get that down to 30 ppg allowed (with the tough OOC factored in) and I’ll be ok with that “Year 1” result.  
 

By year 2 I expect to be in the low 20’s

I feel the same.

Realistically, I win in OCC but be competitive in the others. CUSA is always a toss up but we better be near the top of the west or win it.

C-USA is currently the worst FBS conference, so he should be able to field a respectable defense next season.

If Bennett can build us a defense that allows less than 24 points a game in conference play, we should be a contender for the western division. I don't think a 24 PPG defense is too much to ask. If C-USA was a better conference, 28 PPG would be acceptable to me.

As bad as we were and considering we are changing back to a 4 man front, I would be satisfied giving up anything under 35ppg. I’m less concerned about yards.

Not so concerned about a statistic. Let me see players aligned and assigned. Then let me see good tackling. But most importantly, let me see 11 soul eating, dream crushing aggressive mindsets. 

Speed and tackling should be their main priorities because last year they looked like Denton High in the secondary.

They looked incredibly slow last year. Not just the secondary, but also the linebackers too.

I think with PB schemes will be solid and techniques will be taught. I think our players will be more knowledgeable and know what to do. Now will the players be able to do their part.

Year 1 goal: win CUSA championship
Year 2 goal: actually win a bowl, or let Seth walk

A bowl win is an objective, but there will be over thirty schools that do that.

I think we overpraise Mc because of the bowl win over probably the weakest team in UNLV that got an invitation that year. 

Have a great regular season, and then worry about a bowl bid.  

Contemplating firing a coach that has won at least one USA championship in the last two years would be very extreme.

Good point.  There will definitely be less than thirty teams that have a great regular season in the worst conference in FBS football.  😉

I would almost agree with that if the conference win was something to brag about. We are such a bad conference, and with the cash we are putting out, the recruits, and the facilities, consistent Conf wins should be bottom line for remaining employed.

Consistent conference wins is far from winning a 14 team conference every year.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
