If Seth loses to Rice is he fired?

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Absolutely, to be in the drivers seat for a conference championship birth most of the season just to choke it away during yet another crucial stretch of the season is a fireable offense for a coach that has won nothing in 7 years

I will blame you exclusively if we lose.

Should be fired regardless but I doubt Wren does

For those wanting to fire him no matter what, why wait?  The sooner you fire him the sooner you can hire a new coaching staff.  The transfer window is only open for a few weeks, and not having at least a head coach in place will certainly hurt transfer recruiting.

This. But I hope he has clearly thought out his decision and has continually updated his replacement list.

We are there by circumstance and luck that there are no divisions this year.

That's odd.  I thought we were in this position because we are currently tied for the 2nd best conference record and hold tie-breakers over WKU who is also sitting at 4-2 and FAU who is one game back.  Why must every ounce of success we have be minimized or explained away as a fluke?  Most pre-season predictions slotted us as middle to lower half of the pack in conference play.  WKU and FAU along with UAB were all supposed to finish above us.  Seems like we have exceeded most predictions this year or have we just been lucky and everyone else unlucky?  We've played under the same circumstances as everyone else in conference.  I wonder if WKU, FAU or UAB wish they were lucky like us.

Because this situation wouldn't be happening last year, next year, or any other year UTSA has a higher record than us since they will be in our division. This year teams left unexpectedly and forced CUSA to have no divisions, creating the circumstance to keep us in the title race. Any other year and Saturday is the last game and we end up playing for either a 7-5 or 6-6 record. How is that not luck?

I did't say we won games by luck, we got ourselves there. But this scenario is absolutely a lucky break for UNT.

Interesting turn of events here. The weather and Rice have made this a ball game.
