Seth sucked 

The portal hammered us

Eric was a late hire, he needs time to recruit. 

Not many could do better without a ton of money.

Seth was a good coach, at least a pretty good coach.  The reason we moved on is because we wanted more than pretty good.

One game doesn't even constitute "Exhibit A" for the jury to consider whether or not Eric Morris is a good coach.

LOL one game and we our asking for SL back? Nah bruh... give Morris a chance. Our defense is undersized and our tackling is atrocious. Morris needs time to recruit and develop. We need to be patient.

Id guess three seasons... But by the third season from now we're back to #hit6 and are all thrilled when we make it to the New Mexico bowl at 3pm on a Wednesday in mid Dec... Then we bonus Morris with a few hundred grand and extend his contract 3 more years. And so begins another 7+ years of a mediocrity loop.

Man I'm spiraling 😵‍💫

Nope. I said it when we let go of Dickey and I will say it with SL. Firing them both was a good call. Just because a hire after them might be bad, doesn’t make SL a good coach.

Then this is on our former AD who waited till the end of the season to fire when recruiting starts much earlier these days.

Oh, 100%. That former guy was a smiling simp just trying to get his, clearly. That was never not in doubt. I have never understood why our most plugged in, connected, and dedicated alum continue to suck up to high level athletic administrators. They have nudes of all of you or something? I don't get it.

I don't understand what y'all were expecting. You were a .500 CUSA team in your first game with a new coach... vs a P5 team.  Very unlikely you could immediately win that even if you had.big NIL.  Takes time to build.

This guy is right. We went from being a mid CUSA team to at this point being a mid to bottom AAC program. We had no defense when Seth was here and we don't have one now. Our offense got 10 first downs tonight and had the ball only 20 minutes. We will need at least 2 to 3 years to turn the program around. Cal was just a much better team tonight. This is college football. Stuff happens. Just ask Baylor who lost at home tonight to Texas State and Texas Tech who got beat by Wyoming.

I understand the emotions.  First, I love Seth. He was a solid dude and I’ll respect him forever.  But yes he was just able to get us to be average.   I think Eric is more relatable and refreshing and to be honest I think he has a lot of growth ahead of him that Seth didn’t have.  Eric isn’t an idiot.  He knows this was a dogshit start.  I’m mad and we’re all mad.  But we have a deal we have to dig out of that we’ve been trying to dig out of for 50 years.  It’s a culture thing.  As upset as I am about this start I do still trust Eric to change the fundamental part of our problem.  He can do this.  We shouldn’t be easy on him but he can do this.  Onto FIU.

Correct. It’s the pattern we’ve used for decades.

Seth’s time here was done. He needed to be fired. We’ll just have to wait 3 years and see if Chuck Norris can take this program out of mediocrity. Who knows….

You probably shouldn't mention Texas State when counseling patience. Their new coach G.J. Kinne beat a P5 as a 27.5-point underdog in his first game.

I'm not reading too much into Morris over a first game loss, but I was expecting more than to be completely blown off the field. Cal was 4-8 last season and last had a winning season in 2019. They were only a 6.5-point favorite and won by 37.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.

      UTSA is the only victor today. Not a good round for the American.

      I haven’t bothered looking into it, but I did wonder about a possible personnel change. Maybe Charlotte lost a player right before half or something. Or maybe ETSU gained someone at half after being ineligible in the first.
