I think we have the talent and right coaching to win 7-8 games which allows Seth to keep his job. My only concern is this schedule which is very tough. We will see. Gonna be an interesting ride

I can't imagine not winning at minimum 4 to 5 games. We're not in a P5 conference or AAC. As a matter of fact in football at least we're in the worst Division that's in the worst Conference in FBS.

And yet that possibility exists to win that or less. And its rather probable too, which scares me. Worst conference in CFB with a coach making p5 money and a winning season is not even on anyone's radar?

Oh hell no. He should be canned. But won't be due to buyout. Always happy to be wrong still.

A.  It's not the university that would buy out the contract.  That would be the high-dollar donors.

B.  The $250k statement is patently false.  How much did we (or, I should say, the high-dollar donors) pay to buy out Dan McCarney's contract?

North Texas's high dollar donors would be nuts to waste money correcting Wren's mistake. Bartenders drink their mistakes, so should universities. Regarding our previous men's basketball coach, we let him finish out his 5th year because we didn't have the money to buy him out. Finally, I can't believe we are wondering in 4 or 5 wins will be enough for Seth to keep his job. Only at North Texas. This is where I came in. Expect more or you will get less.

I dont think expectations are very high for this season, 3 or 4 wins seems to be the consensus.  I think is more dependent on how those losses go.  are the games close?  is the team putting up a lot of points?  is the team taking bad penalties?

Wren did not hire Litty 4 the record.  I’m not insinuating that is what you r saying just stating for the record/

He gave him the raise and contract extension, so he is responsible for us being between a rock and a hard place.

I happen to have high expectations with the sixth year of the highest paid coach in the conference ! I could not care less what the pundits say...Are you kidding me?

"Oh man....I can't believe Littrell pulled this off this season and with the talent we have coming back next year...we're going to be in great shape. More than pleasantly surprised with the job Littrell did turning this around in 2021."

I think there may be a disconnect between 2 different kinds of "Expectations" here.

1.  How many wins do you expect the Mean Green to have at the end of this year. 
2. How many wins do you expect Coach Littrell to produce based on his recruiting rankings, pay, resources, etc...

For me, the answers to 1 & 2 are about 3-4 games different.  And you don't want question #2's number to be higher than #1 very often, if ever.

If you asked the same questions in 2016 & 2017, question #1 would have been in the green by quite a few.  We were all very pleased. 
2018, a wash.  Expectations were high, and he delivered.
2019 & 2020, in the red by quite a few.  We're not at all pleased.

This season will be a true test for Littrell.   Is this a rebound of a few poor hires, and we get back to expectations HE HIMSELF set back in 2016-2018?   Or, is he really a 4-win/season coach that hoodwinked us in 2016-2018?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
