Who's job is it to identify excellent coaches/players to replace the outgoing coaches/players?   That's a huge strike against Littrell.  One he hasn't been able to recover from.

This right here.  He gets measured on how well he can put a staff together that can go get wins.  

 It is looking like Bennett will count in the good hire category.  But he’s clean whiffed on two OCs and QB coaches since Harrell departed.  We also haven’t been able to replace Filani.

 It happens to even the best.  Mack Brown was eventually undone when he tried to chase Alabama and changed up his offensive approach and staff.  

With Bennett here and on a two year deal, maybe they give Littrell one more chance at getting the OC/QB right.  I don’t know.  What we’ve seen thus far this year is DMac levels of offensive ineptitude.  That’s petty inexcusable from a guy who just last year was touting a top ten offense. Maybe taking over the playcalling again this year will help, but we’ll almost certainly lose Bloesch.

2 problems here:
1 - In watching Bloesch's unit play this year, I'm inclined to say, "OK, bye".
2 - We're 5 games into the schedule.   You would think he might have done this by now knowing his job is on the line.

Most of you are just assuming that NT can come up with buyout money.  I am not so sure that is the case.   Even if NT could come up with the funds, is that how they want to spend it. 

NT needs to hit the lottery on the next football hc hire.  Does that happen if NT is forced to lower their football staff salary budget just to payoff Littrell?

Easy decision if some benefactor agrees to fund the buyout, but what are the odds of that happening?

A fact is that NT's record right now is exactly what it is predicted to be.  Others and I have guessed that Seph will survive if he finishing strong against the weakest part of the schedule.  I think that is still the case. 

This is an exceptionally young team with almost everyone back next year.  A capable QB must be found whether from development or recruiting.  

As an aside, Baker is not going anywhere unless he wants to.  

 

Exactly right! 
A very young team that will get better. An above average QB could have raised much of the offensive play. Or experienced/healthy receivers, RB’s (other than Torrey) and tight ends could have raised the offensive performance. 
The defensive scheme is improving the play from the past few years. Shame it took so long to get the defense going in the right direction.

Fixing the QB performance would solve many of the problems. Hopefully our current redshirt QB has something special or things suddenly click with one of our current transfer QB’s.

Play calling hasn’t been the problem. QB can’t run the offense.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
