Where do we go from here?

[TCC Mean Green]

Looked like we were in mid-season form!  Now, do we fire the OC, HC, or just sit tight?

I am honestly not sure Wren has the balls to make the right call and let him go. 

[Udomann]

I don't care at this point where we got with a coach as long as mumbles is gone. Albatross of a coach is holding us back

Hard to can him with how bad the current market is for available coaches, but I know before the UTSA many were stating he needed to win both the UTSA and bowl game to keep his job.

 

The real problem is that if you fire him can you get a better option this year or do you do like Neb and give the guy a lame duck year knowing that he has no real chance of hitting 9 wins/making the conf title game/winning a decent bowl game.

Essentially you go into next year already starting a search and planning on canning Seth once he is no longer going to be able to make the conference title game.

Well, that would tell you a lot about the state of the athletic department if he doesn’t.

I, for one, would like to thank Littrell for leaving no doubt he isn't the coach to lead us to future success 

[UNTexas]

Change of some kind has to happen. Defense looked great. Discipline was garbage still (Giving a Ref the shoulder after a play? Unreal) That’s on Littrell.  Aune’s turnovers cost the game pure and simple. After those the play calling changed and the offense was a joke. Again, on Littrell. He’s supposed to be the Offensive Guru? Littrell will be back but the excuses through coach speak are old. We are headed to the AAC very soon so we need our sh$t together and fixed next season. 

[Collin1unt]

It is definitely, without a doubt, time for a change at head coach. This is the current state of Littrell's product after 6 years? He should be allowed to go be successful somewhere else. 

[jperg2]

This game was miserable to watch, glad I didn't waste $$ on a ticket.

Aune's turnovers cost us, as did the penalties on both sides of the ball... very undisciplined team. I think another factor was not having our RB Torrey to shoulder the load, with him out I don't think the others backs helped much. Plus not scoring after that "gift" of a completion call in the 4th Qtr hurt too, and certainly was the nail in the coffin for this game.

Ugh... we need some change, but at thins time I do not know if Littrell is "the Guy" to get us where we need to be before we hit the AAC.

Defense looked far from great.

If this coach still hasn’t figured out that you have to make a quarterback change when your starter is clearly not up to the task then he should be fired before he even gets on the team bus

They had some very good moments for a squad stuck on the field endlessly supporting a pathetic offense.

Option is fire him or not, should have nothing to do with nest year.

The problem is if you fire him and then spend the money to buy him out and his assistants then you are pot committed to hiring someone now. The problem with that is we are seeing a massive hiring cycle in the college ranks this year (way more than most years which can be somewhat attributed to COVID) in whihc we would be the latest of the job open. So we are going to be fishing in a shallow pond that has been pretty heavily picked over..

Unless we already have "our guy" lined up right now, do you want to go out and hire a retread and be prepared to be doing this again in 3 years, during the early part of our move into the AAC?

How would you describe the offense 

[Wag Tag]

If Anne is that much better than Ruder they both need to go. I still don’t think you fire him. There is no gain in my mind. I believe Seth has a better chance of winning next year with Bennett than if you bring in a new guy. If he doesn’t then you can fire him and save the $2m.

Is it incompetence or arrogance that he knows best?

It’s the talent of the back ups!! He better find an experienced transfer!

We just got whipped by a middle of the road MAC team in a home game.  If Fuente is still available, go get him.  We have a lot of ships still left to give and shape that first class.

Fuente. Harrell. Bennett.
