Such a huge lost opportunity

[Jonnyeagle]

So many good fans and students came out and only to be disappointed.  You wonder why we struggle with attendance?  Our AD blows these good opportunities every single time!

They left fast too. Can’t blame them.

But hey….it’s the students fault for not showing up to (insert game here)…..North Texas fans are fair weather they’ll only come out if it’s convenient.
 

*North Texas freshman looks at the score board and realizes there are better places to be on a Saturday night. Never comes to a game again.

Let's update the list of blown opportunities.

Every Seth Littrell coached bowl game

The La Tech game from 2018

The C-USA championship game

What else am I missing?

anyone who thought this was gonna be a close game tonight are really idiots. This game was never gonna be competitive, as we are playing a squad of paid players and a highly paid coaching staff.

I agree with this sentiment and that I should have called my bookie and placed a huge bet.

True. If you want to compete you need to be willing to hire great coaches. It’s about resources and North Texas has not been able to achieve that for the most part in football.

And now, it’s about paying players. We don’t have the talent to beat those guys very often when they aren’t blatantly paying players at SMU. Now that they are, they ain’t losing to us…

We have a highly paid coaching staff too.

Not like SMU has…look at their entire coaching salaries.

[Got5onIt]

Talent was obviously heavily tilted in SMU’s favor.

Whats the answer? Throw more money at Littrell?  Wave around $4m like Sonny walked away from at SMU and we'll have a winning coach leading the team?  Forget NIL money we have or don't have, I don't think its a secret that kids probably have low to no desire to play for a Littrell coached UNT team.  Get rid of the guy.  He can't recruit, the program under him has NO chance of recuiting in today's G5 Texas football landscape, and all we end up doing is waiting on Basketball season.

Where are all the "Wren Baker is a brilliant AD scientist" people right now?  Wren was present for us to rise to a slightly deflated AAC from a trash can CUSA.  Other than that, can someone please list out his Football acolades? And no, IDGAF about the Arkansas game at this point, and neither should you.  Right now everyone involved with decision making regarding the future of FBS Football at UNT looks like a sloth that is clearly collecting a check and hoping they somehow ascend to a P5 program through some sort of miracle... or in Wren's case because of every sport OTHER than football.
