Seth’s Post game radio interview

[meangreanmick]

Really disappointed with Seth’s comments.  Really - you are nothing but proud of how the. team played?  How about I’m glad they pulled it out and I’m proud of them for hanging in there, but we have to play better on Friday?   This reeks of everyone gets a trophy.   It’s ok to point out and criticize when we don’t play our best.    We were out played and out coached today, just say it.

Lol what did you want him to say? Praise in public, criticize in private

praise in public and criticize in private is for individuals.  I hope it there is not anyone in the program that thinks the level of play as a team under Seth, on average, Is acceptable.

 

I want him to act like a good coach and set the expectation that he is happy we won, but it has to get better.   Go watch a good coach post game.

Dude who cares. It’s got to be exhausting to always find a reason to be unhappy with the team. Enjoy your night, brother.

Not that you know me at all, but I don’t know about the always part.  I was a Seth apologist right up until today and my opinion before today was wait till end of season ans give him a full chance.  I’m sure I have posted something negative somewhere at some point prior to today, but it’s extremely rare for me.  I am an eternal mean  green support and optimist.   I just don’t see Seth’s body of work here getting us anywhere for AAC, and frankly I don’t think he understands that an important part of a D1 college coaches job is outside the locker room.

Not just you in particular. Just the whole page in general. Seems to be always something and just don’t think this is where I’d be drawing a line. Respect your opinion tho. Ultimately, I do think there’s a ceiling with Seth as HC but I’m just gonna enjoy the ride this season and let the chips fall where they may.

This.  100%. My time on GMG has dropped 60% - 70% because of the Chicken Littles on this board.  We're in the CUSA championship game for the 2nd time ever and 90% of this board if they're being honest didn't have this team with a winning record at the beginning of the year.  4-8, 3-9, 5-7 if we're lucky, etc.  But instead of enjoying a surprisingly good season, I feel like I'm taking a time warp to the Todd Dodge days, McCarney with Andrew McNulty, etc.  I stayed on the board and commented back then cuz bitching was clearly deserved.  And I'm not saying constructive criticism isn't warranted here, but dangit, we have got to be the bitchiest fan base that made it to their respective conference championship game if I had to take a guess.  Been a season ticket holder for 20+ years and I'll take a season like this over the many other seasons I've had to put up with over the years.

Don’t you realize we’re only in the conference championship because we’re in such a weak conference.  This is very different from the strong conferences we’ve usually been in over the past 25 years. <sarcasm>

UTSA is ranked in the AFCA. This weak conference seems to be serving them okay.

[DentonLurker]

A lot of y’all gonna be real sad when this team beats UTSA next week.

[LongJim]

It would be so much easier to just say: "I hate Seth Littrell and wish Wren would fire him."

[flyonthewall]

as I was telling the wife last night.........The weather was nasty.  I know it didn't rain heavily throughout the game but there was certainly drizzle most of the time.  I remember a game way back when our fourth team walk on running back from Sanger went off for like 150 plus in the rain.

The weather was for sure a factor in this game.  Ask the Rice deep snapper....Those missed field goals looked like the ball skipped back to the holder.

In short, with weather like that, you have to be happy to walk out with win, regardless of the uglyness.

NO!  They played a completely different version of FIU, La Tech, Rice and UAB than we did.  
 

It is clearly established that teams put in a whole new roster when they play us and hold out the “good players” for the rest of the schedule.

I don’t understand why there are so many salty folks on this forum, unless they’re the ones putting up the money for Seth or other athletic things.

Maybe one reason is we want the program to be the best it can be?  You obviously are satisfied with mediocrity and don't see us being any better.

Bitching about it on a forum isn’t doing anything.  Would I like them to be more elite?  Of course.  But I don’t get to make those decisions and neither do you.

So you're ok with getting stomped 48-10 by SMU , 58-27 by UNLV who ended 5-7, 44-34 by Memphis? We were embarrassed 41-21 by UAB going scoreless in 3 quarters. The only quality win for the whole season was WKU, they played a great game. People are letting the championship blind them to a lot of valid criticism on how the team has performed this year. 

I give the team full credit for the wins it has, they play who is put in front of them. However it is clear from OOC play that our conference is poor, why is wanting better than mediocrity considered bitching?

Of course I would like for UNT to grow into a good football program who consistently competes and wins at a high level.  Beating SMU is a must.  But how does messaging about all these negative things you mention accomplish anything?  Support the team, go to the games, stay to the end or don’t.

No one is saying we don't support the team, on the contrary we want the best for our athletes. You're mixing up criticism with derision. Believe it or not, I'm rooting for the team to win the championship because I want them to be successful. Just because we are unhappy doesn't mean we hate this team. Keeping quiet and not demanding for more has led to decades of poor choices. Football staffs get paid to do a job, we give our time and money to support this team so we absolutely have a right to voice our opinions. 

So let me ask you, are the criticisms in my post above warranted? Has this staff performed well in both this year and the last 7 as a whole?

I would be ecstatic if we beat UTSA Friday, as fans that’s what we are rooting for.   I can’t see how any Mean Green fan wouldn’t be.

Tell me what HC's should I listen to, that are significantly different.

I liked Fry's the best, but he practiced coach speak like all the rest. He just had more personality than most.
