SL is so far off my radar, I don't understand why we visit these hypothetical, what-if, I-told-you-so posts.  He's gone.  Move on.

Post of the day. Shut it down.

You're probably right but I still have a lot of family and coworkers who say we were stupid to let Littrell go as soon as we did and it makes me mad.

Gomeangreen.com needs to add a new forum for "Where are they now" so posters can add stories about players and coaches that are no longer here.

Then folks can have all the Kason Martin/Jason Bean fun they want living in the past, and the rest of us can continue on with our normal lives

This is definitely not a where-are-they-now, update on a previous player/coach.

Here's a suggestion: stop responding to them.  When they realize you've moved on from SL, and won't get worked up over the fire, they will move on too.

How does anyone believe that a 44/ 44 W/L record is good enough to retain a head coach?

While I was frustrated with SL, I wasn't fully convinced we would do all that much better with hiring a new coach.
(If you've been around here long enough you'll understand).

However, as I mentioned in another post, this does feel different and I am massively surprised by the types of hires EM is making and am the most excited about getting to August than I've been in a long time.

Did these people even follow his career here?  Certainly not. I’ve had no problems justifying his firing to people who have asked me about it.

 

The only thing I feel bad about for SL is all this money that’s been pumped into assistants and other staff that SL wasn’t given. But then EM hires someone and I ask myself if SL would have hired this person or someone better/more valuable. The answer is “no” and I don’t feel so bad anymore.

What if Morris ends up being the Jimbo in this situation since he seemingly is taking the approach of putting recruiting over gameday coaching?

I find some topics to be simply too fundamentally inconsequential to comment on and I just want you to notice that I have restrained from doing so in this case.

Our defense was 125th in the nation. Caponi will most certainly upgrade the secondary, which was regularly torched last season. Front 7 I’m not convinced yet.
 

Offense is gonna be fine. Similar systems, coaches that know the system. OL coach is gonna be very important. We have a lot of good pieces there that can be elite.

#1:  How are you so sure Caponi will be an upgrade over Bennett (who also specialized in secondary)?

#2:  The past 2 years, we weren’t running the Air Raid (or any of its derivatives).  We were running the Briles offense with Bloesch calling the shots.  How do you know Bloesch’s & Morris’s offenses are “similar”?

The more I think about it (especially with all of these assistant hires being super young/inexperienced/geared-towards-recruiting), Im starting to gear up for a painful transition year.

1. Saying we can’t be much worse than last year, and Iowa St had a better defense than us by a wide margin. (Yes I know we can technically be worse this year)

2. Meant moreso the players. I know we ran the veer and shoot, but the players have been recruited for a spread offense. Many from when we we were still running more of an air raid.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
