If Wren could get an Eric Morris In here, keep Bennet and could care less about the $2m buy out then do it. I just don't see this happening, if you lose Bennet you are in a rebuild. The must frustrating part of this is you had thought we had turned the corner on the play of a 1-6 team!! Today we played exactly like that 1-6 team. Pathetic.

A rebuild isn't as bad as staying on our current course. We will be in the American soon, and need to right the ship now. We need a new captain. Time to fire Seth.

And I saw quite a few folks saying that next season’s schedule is much easier, so Seth should be able to get to 7-8 wins easily…. I wonder what a better coach might be able to do? We cannot waste the buffer year in CUSA before the move up.

I totally agree.

Glad we got to a bowl again but at some point, we have to have higher expectations or we should just close up shop

Can't lose winnable bowl games. 0-5 is just awful. Miami Ohio is not a good team, and the game had the feel to it pretty early on, if they just don't self destruct they're going to win. Tough decision, but all things considered, it's time to pull the trigger.

If I am a backup QB and I have watched the coach not make a change due to very poor play, then there is no way I would stay.

Good. I hope so.

You should not trust the Evaluation skills of the current staff. So there is nothing positive about them leaving if the same staff is selecting their replacements and coaching them up. This is another reason why keep Seth & Offensive staff in place should be a non-starter.

Wren makes his money right here. Make the right call and get Seth the hell outta here.

What’s concerning is to look at how basketball has never really regained the Johnny Jones era crowds, especially not student attendance which is non-existent.

I know this is probably worthY of a “beating a dead horse” gif, but the pit crew needs to be brought back with a legitimate effort to rebuild it.

If we set on taking another former Mike Leach RB coach, let’s get the one before SL instead of the one after SL.

You can do way better than Bennett as HC. It is true he didn't have a fair shake in admitting athletes at SMU, but he had some really bonehead decisions. And his D wasn't very good either. And he was not good with boosters. Just not a fit at HC.

I think only one person made that suggestion, and he's clearly on crack.

Agreed but I feel like I am on Let’s Make a Deal. Revealed behind curtain number one is a jackass so go home now with a jackass or take whatever is in the weathered Mystery box (Phil Bennett) . So I will take whatever is in the mystery box. Hell Todd Dodge with a new OC, QB Coach and retaining Phil Bennett is a deal I would take now. 🤣😂🤣😂. It would be a horrible marketing move but of jokes on ESPN and talking head shows every time the program is brought up but if he wins all would be forgiven.

I found it peculiar that Seth nor any players spoke on the postgame radio show. It doesn’t appear they had the usual postgame presser either. Maybe it was nothing or maybe something is in the works.

And if I want to go full tin foil hat, maybe “something in the works” is why we signed so few on early signing day.

We usually see a highlight video by now as well, no matter how short the performance may necessitate.

I found it interesting all the way back at the AAC announcement in the Stadium Club. Wren mentioned Seth randomly toward the end, oh-by-the-way. The camera panned to Seth and he appeared to be standing seemingly by himself in the room, not sure? No comments at the podium from the Football coach about a major conference change was odd. It was just very light, polite golf-clap by the crowd. Seth appeared like he had NO desire to be there at all. It just all looked awkward.

After the game, I went to the Dan McCarney Therapy Program.

Still pushing through it.... still on step 1.... not clear on what comes next.... I'm not going to give up though.... I believe in The Don Daddy Danny Mac and if he say's drink grey goose to cure all, dammit that's what I'll do....if you're still looking for a direction, here's a refresher if you don't know or don't remember:

"Nothing..... a little Grey Goose won’t cure."

Where do we go from here?

We go to basketball season and pack the Super Pit each home game. We have a legit head coach in Grant McCasland, this team is good, screw football and support the most winning program at UNT in the past few years!!!!
