Go Get Bo Nix Now!

[Mike Jackson]

Dream a swing big I say.  Doesn’t appear the Mean Green is in the running but inquiries from our end need to be made.  Seth needs a QB that can play immediately and/or push Ruder.   Make guys like Nix and Nebraska’s Martinez say no.

I watched Martinez play in few games he has trouble hitting wide open receivers-yeah he will fit in.

How about Slovis from USC

And turns the ball over on a regular basis when the game is on the line.

I thought this thread was a typo and meant to read "Go Get Bowl Tix Now!"

Calzada or Slovis

[Mean Green Matt]

I’m sure all of these guys are just salivating at the thought of coming to North Texas.

Bo Nix stinks.

As “mediocre” as both guys I mention are.  They both are both 10% more accurate in raw completion percentage than Austin Aune and they unquestionably do with against tougher competition.   So please consider that @WanderingEagle @UNTLifer and @southsideguy before taking a 💩 on potential transfers.   I would rather have guys I know are ready to play better that the QB's we have because they have done it before.  Granted it is a low bar considering the 3 year decline in passing accuracy we have seen.  But that low bar needs to be cleared before we can do bigger things.  🤷🏾‍♂️

Some of you guys need a massive dose of reality when it comes to the pecking order of transfers.

I'm all for exploring options in the Transfer Portal, but there are a limited number of coaches to work the Portal, JUCOs and regular recruits. And that limited number of coaches only have 24 hours in a day. And there are only so many hours till signing day. 

Oh yeah, there's this bowl game that they should be preparing for. 

In short, pick your battles wisely and you will win more. 

[Withers940]

Is Aune 100% not coming back? I thought his post game interview from the last game, he said that he's still contemplating it. 

Obviously Bo Nix is probably way better, just a general curiosity question

Agreed and I upvoted your comment.  However, I think whoever we have on staff needs to take a swing at one of the bigger fish experienced QB transfers each cycle until we get good QB play from a player that is coming back for the next season.    

As for winning this bowl game, I just don’t think it is as important as working on general execution issues in all the phases of the game.  A win would very nice but beating Miami of Ohio isn’t going to do much for the program.  A nice little bonus for the staff if they win but that only matters to the people getting paid.  
 

If the passing accuracy is hovering around 51% for 2022, we will probably have a new Head Coach by December 2022.  The best way to get better at the QB position is getting a known commodity at QB that has better numbers than what been produced here the last 2 years.

I haven’t heard otherwise.  But I wouldn’t want to take the chance that Ruder is my best QB option on paper before Spring Ball starts.  I don’t know what factors he is considering as college student in his late 20s but his age alone should make us wary of the chances of him coming back for 2022.  He has a child and another one I the way I think.

If he's back as the starter, Seth deserves to be fired.  He's a bad qb

[greenminer]

If we keep winning, I don't care who is under center.  Aune wasn't all-world lately, and it appears we didn't need him to be.

Having said that, we will probably need something better - either from someone else or Aune/Ruder - to consistently win against better teams.

Let’s tap the brakes that type of talk.  🤦🏾‍♂️Independent of Aune, just considering Seth’s resume so far here he should be gone.   Seth’s job status for the beginning of 2022 season isn’t in question so let’s stop kicking that dead horse.  If Aune is back I think he will play significantly better. 🤞

[Cooke County Kid]

In my opinion, as if it matters, Seth still needs to win one more game this year and that is the one next week.  When we crush the Red Hawks then SL is welcomed back.  Just my opinion.........

GO MEAN GREEN!!!
WIN GAMES!!!!!!!
