What a great day for everyone associated with NT.      What a good feeling after having to endure the last 6 weeks of football.     

Now, about that football team 😉

It won’t until we get a new coach who can develop linemen.

But what it does for the fanbase is huge. It proves that the investment into the facilities has been worth it.

For one, the increased revenue from the AAC will allow our leadership to justify paying $2m+ to our football coach.   

We overpaid for Littrell given what happened.   But, it also showed that the school is serious about competing and spending the money when necessary.

It's a win on all fronts.   We just have to get through this dreadful season in Football.   Hopefully, they won't embarrass themselves against Liberty.   Our new conference mates will be watching (and noticing the potentially small crowd).

Just a hunch, but I don't think the crowd this Saturday will be as small as you think.  I think we get over 15K which would be great for a 1-5 team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
