I do believe this game is pivotal to any chances of the team being better than 6-6 this year.  Because if they lose and Aune plays to his typical below mediocre standard, no one besides the coaching staff is going to expect better play from him the rest of the year.  That is deflating to the team (even though they would never let outsiders hear about it)and puts a lot of pressure on the run game and defense.  A loss here and then you go on the road to face the both CUSA division winners from last year.  I think even the most diehard Mean Green fans viewed splitting those 2 games is the best we could reasonably expect.   If they lose to La Tech and the aren't 3-6 come November 1 everyone should be surprised.  And a serious program would pull the trigger on firing Seth shortly after the 6th loss before November.

Eager to read the report today. .

My guess is Littrell has started to ask for assurances about his job stability and Wren has been noncommittal. 

 

There's no way anyone would know this outside of those two guys, unless one of the two leaked that info, which would be really stupid.
But yeah, I bet that type of conversation has happened.

I’m guessing Zach has heard from his UNT sources what it’s going to take for Littrell to keep his job and a loss to La Tech is going to make it very unlikely. Hopefully, he provides some specifics.

Nothing out of the ordinary thus far, an unintentional tease perhaps as it was on the the back of a retweet to promote the article..... His first article of the day says this about North Texas:

1296843766_ScreenShot2022-10-13at10_31_58AM.png.78c985e9ced8a80b03e835c0066ceb9b.png1911236659_ScreenShot2022-10-13at10_33_45AM.png.34410191ed6fec64914b645110561abe.png

Okay, I assumed his tease yesterday was in reference to Littrell's job security. Guess it just meant we've never looked better than La Tech on paper and an opportunity we shouldn't blow.

Losing to La Tech would be the best thing that can happen, long-term, for this place. Because it gets closer to 7 losses that we need to drop SL. As we have mentioned, want the AAC years to go bad? Bring SL over as our HFC. We win about 3 games, max...

It sucks to root against your team. But if it makes the future brighter, then you do what you gotta do. We have to move on. This guy is a bump on a log--he doesn't inspire players or fans. His gameplans are simple and his QBs are just spare, Fine being the exception. He is nowhere near being the guy we need--Gary Patterson is the guy we need, but I just don't know if he wants us. We need someone with a spark and an edge, while being able to focus on making diamonds out of coal. He has done that at TCU and could easily do that here. If we are ever gonna make a splash hire, its to duplicate what we did with Hayden Fry. Its there--we just have to figure out a way to make it happen.

Agreed with everything noted. Short-term pain for long-term growth

You may be right, but there's no way I'm going to root for NT to lose.  I can't do that.   

Predict a loss?  Sure.  Not necessarily this weekend though.   
Root for Aune INTs, Adaway fumbles, or Gaddie blown coverages to lose?    I can't.

That split second when you are happy we won, but realizing that could mean we keep Seth

While you make valid points. I can not get on board rooting against the mean green. I just can't....I agree Litrell has reached his potential at UNT. The time will come when we move on, but I will not root against our school..

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green: 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      What's a reasonable expectation for our defense? Given this offense and the history of the Leach tree, I dnh't think T30 is within reach, but can we feel comfortable if Cassity gets this in the T30-60 range? Do we win 9-10 games with that level of play? Consider me cautiously optimistic. I totally get the concerns, too.
