Just be prepared to be sold on the fact that we only have a couple senior starters and how many players from the two deep are returning in 2023 when we finish 6-6 and no news of a firing comes down the following week.

I am prepared to have my 2023 Saturdays free to just peek at them on TV and watch other programs willing do the uncomfortable/hard things necessary to be in the conference championship picture every season come mid November.   I suggest everyone on this board consider doing the same.  They are doing NOTHING for the reputation of the University rolling with coach mediocre mumbles under 0.500.

Proven winners. Herman, Skip Holtz, Fuentez,  all have been winners. Go ahead and keep seth tho, he's doing a losing job. 

Expand  

Those proven winners have also proven to be losers enough to get fired and still don’t have a replacement coaching job unless you count Skip’s USFL gig.

I understand what you are saying and don't disagree with you at all.  However, I do feel for the players and go to the games to support them.  If SL is given an extension it will be a hard choice to make

Proven what? If they are available, there is a reason.

Come on man, you watch way too much college football to pretend like good coaches don't also get fired/leave for various reasons outside of "sucking too much". Gary Patterson is a proven coach available at the moment. Doesn't necessarily mean he's the right fit or could even be a good head coach again, but he's certainly a proven coach without a head job right now.

I know you’re right, I just can’t stomach the idea of Fuente taking over. It feels way too much like if Seth had been hired by KSU, stunk it up, and we hired him back. Knowing what we know now we’d never make that choice.

As Pat Fitzgerald coach at Northwestern said on an interview - Some years he's a genius and some years he doesn't know anything. Wisconsin just let go a coach with a great record. These guys don't forget how to coach, sometimes the situation changes.

      I'm really tired of this argument. Cam Ward means nothing to Mean Green Football. Stop bringing that dude up. If you want to say he ID'd Rogers & Morris (both successful QB's here), that's fine. Let's hope he's 3-for-3 with Poffenbarger.

      2024 Athletic Department Financial Report

      That may have been in the past. With NIL and the portal football has become a liability for schools such as ours. I am sorry to say it.

      Because we nuked that group in 1982 with the 1-AA fiasco. You basically killed off alums who still did care about the school's athletics that had graduated any time before 1995. And even then, it wasn't until the 00's that we ever showed a hint of being able to actually win as a FBS squad, albeit against the dregs of the CFB world. The BMDs we need are ones who graduated during the nuking of the program. I mean, seriously, there's a reason there was the UNT 17, when we need about a UNT 1700. So, now, when we will see what almost everyone else has in place, probably won't be until 2045 or later. if then. Having your administration show everyone that you'd rather host a faculty fajita lunch at the Super Pit than host a NIT game here against Oklahoma State is not exactly helping to cultivate BMDs for athletics. Businesspeople with UNT degrees are mostly pro sports fans or t-shirt fans of the Power Teams. There's a reason that 2% of the UNT alumni base cares enough to donate to athletics, and that was before NIL and the Portal began killing the college sports world. Today, I'd be shocked if its 1%.

      Morris has 100% leverage to send people packing for in-season holdouts given these types will be packing anyway.

      UNT is a big school with no shortage of graduates who make money. Our schools of business and engineering have over 12,000 undergraduates combined, higher than the entire enrollment of SMU. You don't major in those disciplines without an eye towards getting paid. What we lack is that old boy's club of rich donors getting rich people perks that make them want to stay associated with their alma mater and open up their checkbooks on a consistent basis.
