The picture painted in that post is not true, Head coaches get fired at the end of the season through the bowls every year. They may have some hurtles to cross but a good coach can do it. The portal opening Monday is not the end of the world. 

The rules are different now then in the past, we are probably going to see a record number of transfers this week and through out the window.  With UNT moving to the top G5 conference there will be a lot of interest from good players from around the country, and the program needs to be ready to capitalize.

We got beat by a better team with better players a better coach. Now what to do? We are paying $2 million per year for a coach who has lost as many games as he has won in his tenure at UNT. Its just t

Where do we go from here?  We go to a 3rd rate bowl game. Hopefully, we get paired with one of the 5-7 exemption teams. Sometimes Littrell beats teams with losing records.

It does not change the fact that we can get a new coach. Whether it is currently ideal or not might be a different story. I am not sure the conditions for a new coach are ever ideal.

UNT will hire an AD who will give Littrell a 1 year extension and we’ll have another year of this crap atleast and potentially 2 if we’re so unlucky

This is what will happen. Bet on it.

But any good coach wants to know the place he’s going to has the right pieces in place to make it successful.  Dr. Smatresk is nearing retirement, and UNT has a new Chancellor Mike Williams.  Why would Gary Patterson come here not knowing who his boss is?  Why would any good coach do that?  Also Smatresk doing a national search anf committe will likely take months to play out and being right smack dab in the holidays doesnt help either.

So your saying we have not already done a big search? That Seth's Job has been a lock all season?

I  gotta believe that they knew this was going to happen and have set in motion a plan to take care of this. But you never know.

I can't see an extension that short ever happening unless it was just to defer retirement, why would an agent for Seth allow anything short of a three year extension?

if they don't like it Seth and his agent can leave, he has no leverage this time.  I saw a SEC short and Sexton was named and they spoke of his contracts and how one sided they are but he makes the schools feel like they are coming out on top.

In reality, why do we need to extend?   He’s under contract for 2023.  The optics aren’t great to be working under the last year of a contract but if he doesn’t like it, he can beat feet.  
 

Professional athletes often have their best years in a contract year.  He can fight for a new contract here or fight for another opportunity outside.

I agree with you but he has a shark agent (Sexton) who will threaten for him to leave UNT for a smaller school G5 HC job or even a P5 OC gig if he isn’t given 4-5 year extension.  Seths agent has been a real problem for UNT.  Hes the one that convinced us Seth was heading for KSU.  I still have my doubts he was ever offered that job.

Im just making fun of how we’re stuck in this and it will probably continue with the next AD

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
