TCU, SMU, North Texas primed for improvement

[Coach Andy Mac]

North Texas Mean Green

Head Coach: Seth Littrell, 6th season.

2020 Record: 4-6, 3-4 Conference USA.

2021 Prediction: 5-7.

Impact Player: DeAndre Torrey, Senior RB.

The Skinny: Seth Littrell returned to UNT in 2019 after declining an offer to coach at Kansas State- and UNT didn’t have the kind of season he was expecting. The Mean Green won just four games a year ago- and that was with NFL draftee Jaelon Darden. He’s gone in 2021, and while Austin Aune did gain a year of experience last year, and the return of DeAndre Torrey also helps, the unit as a whole is lacking.

As far as the schedule goes, its degree of difficulty is part of why UNT is picked sixth in the C-USA West. North Texas plays at SMU and Missouri, while hosting conference finalists UAB and Marshall. Overachieving to bowl appearance this year would go a long way towards getting back to contention.

Agree. You are what your record says you are. You either score more points than the other team or you don’t.

Hasn’t Seth only beaten like 2 teams with winning records in 5 years?

There's at LEAST six opportunities just in the regular season for Seth to get a "big" win here. SMU, Mizzou, LA Tech, UAB, Liberty and Marshall would all immediately be one of the best wins of his tenure at UNT assuming all of them perform as advertised. 

Even then, he's still winless in postseason play. Go win a bowl. If this team vastly exceeds expectations and wins the west, go win a conference title. It's been six years. We need rings and we need big time wins to propel the future.
