We’re still better than probably half of the AAC next year. We’re fine.

Depends on the teams we draw. As we’ve seen this season, the existing AAC teams are going to be challenging. There is a distinct size and speed difference. Plus, half way down the standings isn’t good enough.

I sure thought he was done after the UNLV game, but they are a different team now. Offense is rolling and defense has really come together with some new/young guys. Much credit is due this coaching staff and these players! Proud of them! They control their own destiny! Going to support them all the way! Go Mean Green!

Very, very impressive! Congrats to all. Now win out! GMG

This is the first quality win UNT has had since beating UTSA last season. With that said, I'll stick with my statement from last week. Players make the plays coaches coach them to make. Our coaches did a great job this week and the evidence is on the tape. I saw our offense executing creative plays. And, defensive players were staying home and taking care of their responsibilities. Sure, C-USA is very weak this season, but we are clearly among the better teams this year. Right now, I just want to enjoy this win.

Don’t worry, I don’t think NT will win out.

We didn’t think that at 1-6 last year either. ( not including bowl)

He is still grumpy about not having baseball.

Well every school in CUSA has baseball except NT and UTEP. Guess they should all be in Title IX jail.

Win a Conf Championship and you can give him a 24 month extension with a tiny buyout.

The truth is we're probably a middle of the pack AAC team today. I don't want to do the 3 to 4 season long song and dance of "it's okay to lose X number of games because we getting acclimated to playing the AAC" that long time Dentonites and your average Denton Country Club Hub Club Annex patron will put up with.

I get it that he's struggled in big games but let the hand play out and let the chips fall where they may. We'll settle up when the season's over. GO MEAN GREEN!!!

The hand HAS played out. We've seen what happens several times before. Stop well-wishing some dream scenario where we get to go to the prom with coach mumbles and win the crown. Its gonna be more pigs blood, and you know it

I'll hold my reservation until after the Rice game. Until then, I'll cheer our team on for a victory in every game, like I always do. If he wins out and wins a conference championship, he'll be guilty of the very thing we've begged him to accomplish. Even then, I'm sure you'll still have reasons for him to be fired. Litrell has earned the right finish the season before he's judged.

If Seth gets an extension, will Phil Bennett stay? I believe he is on the last year of a two-year contract. Big part of the improvement of the defense. Is there someone in the wings to replace him if he retires?

NorthTexasWeLove · October 30, 2022

GO MF EAGLES!!!

Win some kind of championship or gtfo. Bottom line.

This team is incredibly young. The talent is there to be a good AAC team.

Phil leaving is the built-in reason for it being okay if we suck next year. "Can't fire Littrell after 6 wins in 2023, Phil just left!"

He lost that right 2 seasons ago. Should have been gone after last season, so straw manning us saying we will "still have reasons" is a complete misfire. He should be gone already. Anything short of a miracle season is reason enough to get rid of him.

We already have reasons, and nothing yet says we were wrong.

I’ve been begging him to be competitive against non-CUSA G5.

Seth is 4-15 vs non-CUSA G5.

Good to know you’re still complaining after a massive win

Saying being middle of the pack in the AAC isn’t good enough doesn’t mean today wasn’t a big win.

Got5onIt · October 30, 2022

He should be let go at the end of the season. Zero questions there. No matter how it plays out.

UNT78 · October 30, 2022

This was a great win either way you look at it...the team is getting much better, hard to explain, but this is not the same team that lost to SMU! Defense kicked ass today and the offense is really coming on strong! We could win out the rest of the season, maybe!

emmitt01 · October 30, 2022

What do we do with Littrell?

We let him coach next week. Then the next, and so on, until it is clear he won’t win a conference title this year.

If we wins a conference title, we let him coach next year. If we draw a decent bowl opponent and win, we let him coach next year.

southsideguy · October 30, 2022

don't forget our out of conference games this season. We are playing with CUSA teams now.

PARK IT OR DRIVE IT! (There is no in-between).
My dreams for this program all but went south that Saturday morning in December, 1978, when while laying in bed listening to KRLD sports it was announced that Hayden Fry had taken the Iowa job. If I had known just how south all this would go the next 50 years I would have probably done like most of our other 400,000 NT Exes & just merely go dormant. In those 50 years, we who stuck around saw about 10-12 schools we were once at the same level go beep! beep! right past North Texas.

Other than the 50 year roller coaster ride of mostly non-winning seasons, watching all those schools say “bye, bye” to North Texas has been the worst part of all this but amazingly—
I still think UNT’s upside is still better than many who passed us by. I guess what one man (namely) Bill Snyder did at Kansas State is still my own inspiration as to what UNT can still do.
Bloom where planted & just enjoy the garden we have now. Hell, we were never going to get “the next Vince Lombardi” to come to Denton anyhow.

••• See most of y’all at the Abner Haynes & Dr. Leon King Plaza Dedication this next Saturday.
This is history, folks.

Liberal or Conservative, it’s important that we all be at this event & show our support for those 2 State of Texas integration pioneers.

If we fired an 10-4 conference winning, bowl winning coach, why would any future coach want to come to here? Maybe P5 powerhouses could get away with that, but that's not us.

Wag Tag · October 30, 2022

When was the last time we were in the running for a chance at a championship? Hell I will probably watch UTSA & UAB game. Does best record host the Championship game?
