This hurts but @Chuck4334 please let him know that we are very grateful for all his hard work while here at UNT. He is a phenomenal player and will do well wherever he lands.

Ok, cool.  What if you don't? What if you bounce after a year or 2 and that becomes the norm as it's trending that way. What is going to be the 'come and play your butt off and get a degree' type

I think there is a tad bit of over reaction to the movement in the portal for us.  Taking this into consideration, I looked at what the other teams in the AAC have experienced including those moving t

Well this sucks ass. More worried about the loss of Nixon than Shorter. We need that leadership on defense.

I am hopeful, however, that Morris and staff have a contingency plan in place. Luckily I feel like they get recruiting now better than Littrell so there’s some silver lining.

I just wish we went through these inevitable new coach challenges last season instead this season.   Transfer portal loses and gains are particularly hard to nagivate for new G5 head coaches without successful runs at a P5 on their resume.

I do think last year would have been more ideal for coaching change. I disagree with a coach needing P5 on their resume.

🎯 Shorter is going to get a good amount of money where ever he goes. His explosiveness and play making ability will be missed.

Nixon is only a big loss because he had a lot of experience and leadership, other than that it’s not as significant.

Morris is building toward the future y’all, we need to let him build with his guys and see what happens.

I am not the one who eyerolled your comment but I didn't suggest P5 head coaching experience is a requirement for success here.  But the bigger the named coach coming to a struggling G5 program the better they will be able to retain talent and gain talent through the portal.  That is why if you aren't prepared to overpay a big name to come coach a program stepping up to tougher competition, you shouldn't retain a 90% lame duck coach (base on performance) for the last season in a lower conference.  If we weren't stepping up to the AAC till 2024 or 2025, I wouldn't have been so upset with them retaining Seth for 2022.  Under those circumstances giving Seth an opportunity to save his job would had been fair for all parties and not hurting fans, athletes, and coaches already committed to the program.  Maybe coach Morris can overcome all this.  But far too often poor leadership puts head football coaches at unnecessary disadvantages and we are far too critical of those coaches imo.  Seth was probably the first fairly paid coach and supported given way too much rope to hang himself here to the detriment of the program. 

The overall point is that I can't be mad at any of these players for leaving.   If I weren't an alumni I would hang up my football fan hat and focus on only the other D1 sports our school sponsors. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I def think seth should have been canned when we were 1-6. We are in a completly different spot at this point. That is 100% on wren not having juevos..

This sucks. I felt like Shorter would leave because I believe he was tampered with last season, but did not expect Nixon.

When you say "tampered", can you explain further?

Ditto. I feel the same way. Is there anything that can be done to change this?

      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.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
