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?

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      Matt Caponi $475,000 Can any of you wizards of math calculate North Texas Football’s R.O.I. on our Defensive Coordinator Matt Caponi?

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.
