Wren's guy is Justin Fuente, who doesn't currently have a job.

He's just saving money at this point

I’d be pretty sad if that were the case because that could have been set up last offseason.  

Fuente is chilling on a couch somewhere.   He can be had at any time if he’s truly Baker’s guy.  No need to wait around & risk some other disgruntled G5 somewhere beat him to the punch.

I know what you want: You want Littrell  back. Of course, some believed everything and have been waiting with bated breath to have it all go down.  They're just dying to have Wren admit that everythin

UNT will never get the players to compete in C-USA. If you are a 3-star and want to stay in Texas, you're going to want to go to any FBS team other than UNT if you get an offer, with maybe the excepti

I’m not confident enough to say Fuente is definitely the guy, although it makes a ton of sense. 
 

But if he is, and there’s an agreement behind the scenes, I don’t think Fuente would want to step on Seth’s toes. I think there’s more respect in the coaching community than that. And for that reason I don’t think a move will be made until there’s zero alternative (or until the end of the season when there can be a mutual parting of ways).

It would be Wren's job to step on Seth's toes.    THEN bring Fuente (or whoever else) in.

Well, I’m just not sure there’s much benefit to it at this level. At a P5 I understand getting a jump start on recruiting, but here so much of the recruiting work is done late because we’re waiting to take guys who fall to us. 
 

I just tend to believe there’s a ton of respect between Wren and Seth, and that there may be an agreement in place to let him see out the end of this season and replace him at that point. Unless of course the results bottom out to a point where it makes it untenable to continue down the same path. 
 

I tend to believe Steven Godfrey’s reporting on the matter - that a mutual parting of ways is coming. And if that agreement has been made, I doubt very strongly Wren will fire him before the season ends.

Touche....enjoy your continued climb from the bottom to sub mediocrity

Speaking of "sub mediocrity" how is it going in that world?  You've been there for a while. Any advice on how to live in "submediocrityville", you know, from an expert's point of view?

They worked very closely at Memphis and won the AAC together.  It just makes sense.  

It does make sense.  But when someone says he is top target, IMO, that means there is some kind of indication from the press (Vito, ESPN with inside source, etc) that says so.

Even if we have inside sources on GMG.com, IMO it needs to be published somewhere that's not a message board.

Twitter is blurring the lines between formal/informal, so maybe one day a sports message board can be considered similarly authentic.  But right now I'm just not ready to make that leap.

Half of the press you listed have got most of there breaking news/stories from message boards.

I need to see 4 straight victories to want him back. 8-4 is my new floor after today. This team is freaking close. We should be 6-2 at worst right now but we fail to get players to execute or to play the ones that can. Either way, the talent is there but the quarterback and receivers keep tripping over their own Ds. That is what will end up costing SL his job. When a team loads up the box like that you have to be able to make them pay dearly for it every time. Our quarterback simply cannot do that with his legs or his arm. I love the work he puts in but dammit you just can’t make bad passes like that this deep in your career.

I am not in favor of firing him, because I do not believe there is a realistic better option out there for a head coach.  The university will not commit to spending the necessary funds to bring in a good coach.  more then likely they would hire a coach just like SL, and probably will not be any cheaper. 

 

You sir are an AD's dream because you have crossed the line between fan and sucker.  And you can get a good coach with 2 million per year.   Keeping him here at a higher salary if he is successful is a different challenge that we should welcome.  Having that mindset will eventually end the program being in the same level of football with Texas Tech, Houston, Baylor, SMU and TCU.

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much
