I just want to state for the record and in perpetuity that I am 100% behind Eric Morris and this Mean Green football program.  A fair amount of you guys seem to be on the fence.  I think we should get behind him.  The guy just oozes enthusiasm and he is exactly what we need at this time.  There are no excuses or pity parties with Morris!

I can root for some one and “be behind him and the program” and also be realistic. We are moving into a tougher conference (after never winning a title in our previous conference) and we have a new coach and new systems. It’s not unreasonable to think it will take a year jell. Yet I do still think we can pull off a 6-6 year which would be a good first step under Morris. 2024 and beyond I’ll expect better results

I like Morris a lot. To me he comes with similar or more (head coaching) experience as Littrell, but doesn't have the personality of a wet noodle.

If I'm "on the fence" about anything, is what the team is gonna look like in the fall. Spring was a nice teaser, but the offense looked way too anemic for a guy who's a Leach protégé. At this point we just have to wait and see. That being said, I have hope for the first time in years. Feels similar to when we hired Wren: Morris feels like a guy who talks the talk and walks the walk. Let's just hope it translates to wins.

Fence ?  The only “fence” I see is the one dividing those that support North Texas football and those that don’t.   If you do, buy season tickets and get to the games.  No excuses.  Attend your school’s football games.  On the other side of the “fence” is those that don’t support North Texas football.  So what are you non-supporters even doing here ?

What do you constitute as "getting behind him?"

What does this even mean?  Everyone here 100% wants him to win and be successful during his coaching tenure at North Texas.  At the same time, no one here is 100% sure he is the answer.  But he is a new coach, so he gets a honeymoon period at the very least.  And he is getting resources like no North Texas coach before him.  So let's just quit the pity parties and excuses that this thread seems to imply.  Go Coach Morris, and Go Mean Green!

My expectations are to make a bowl game (6-6 or 7-5)and possibly win it. We were very close to doing that last year. They need to move forward and seize the moment.

La Tech, FIU, ACU, Navy, Temple, and Tulsa are all winnable. UAB, Cal, and Memphis are toss ups. Tulane, UTSA, and SMU are going to be difficult.

Behind him and his staff. I believe they will do an excellent job in the future. However, if you want to ignore the talent a team like SMU can buy and act like it shouldn't make a difference, then your kidding yourself.

I am behind Coach Morris more than any other hire we have made. When the NIL gets straightened out, I think he will really excel.

Two things I hate about the summer time

1. The Texas Heat

2. Not having anything to watch UNT sports related 

But I believe Eric Morris can get the job done and we can go bowling again this upcoming season!

Yes.  I have also been really impressed with this staff's ability to use social media and connections at the high school level.  In just the little time since being hired it seems so far ahead of what we saw with Seth & Co.

I may not want to know the answer to this.

      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.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
