Coach O is Keeping Receipts...

[NorthTexasWeLove]

...so he says on Twitter. 

Well, buddy... the fans are too. And given the performance yesterday, plus you being the recruiting guy...your job just became very magnified. Hang onto this receipt. 

In the meantime... better start warming up that transfer portal...

Between this one, & Mosley’s tweets, it’s almost as if they don’t feel like the heat they’re facing from the fans is warranted.

I dunno how the rest of the staff feels, but I’m pretty sure Pres. Smatresk is not “keeping receipts”.  He’s looking for results.

[TIgreen01]

Lol.  Ok.

[TheColonyEagle]

My receipt says that staff got embarrassed yesterday in every possible way. 
 

I truly hope he can pull those receipts. I can promise him I love this university more than he does. So do your job

It's typical UNT stuff. I don't know what it is, but people feel untouchable when they are employed by UNT. It's amazing. 

Like if you're an ops guy and your regional brings you in because your affairs are -17% this quarter are you going to stare that person down and say 'commit to me, I keep receipts.' They all live in fantasy land..

Best be reading the back of those receipts for the return policy...

Man, y'all hit my sentiment just right. These guys don't realize this is our school. We went here. We love this place. This isn't a job that we're holding until a better opportunity presents itself. None of us are waiting to be promoted to Texas fans. Stop b*tching about receipts like your seat at UNT on day 1 is so hot. Do your job and make our school proud.

One of the best takes I've read on our fandom. I watched every last miserable moment of that game. Like I did every game for the past 10 years. We have a fever... And the only prescription is more UNT sports. Hopefully with wins

[MeanGreenGlory]

Just win, Coach O.

Don’t misinterpret the frustration and honest reporting as people rooting against you. Every fan in Mean Green Nation is rooting FOR you. We’re cheering on YOUR success. We want nothing more than for you to WIN. 

So do whatever you need to do to win, and if that’s talk smack to the fanbase that desperately wants YOU to succeed and gets frustrated with a head-coach-proclaimed “atrocious” game, then by all means keep every single receipt like you’re getting ready for tax time.

Hell, upload pictures of all of the receipts to TurboTax and keep backups on DropBox so they don’t get lost in a Nike shoebox.

But just win.

The new coaches and staff don't understand the PTSD we went through with Rick Villareal and his multitude of horrible coaching hires.   

[meangreenbob]

Do our coaches get “paid” or do they coach just for the love of coaching? Because that would make a very big difference on how we grade their performance. Right?

Well said. What if I told you there’s a SEC QB out there that fits the bill and will be ripe for the taking after this season? Would Mean Green Nation be interested?

6-foot-3, 218-pounds, with great arm strength. A fellow Texan from the DFW area with two years of eligibility left after this season. His college career got off to a hot start as a true freshman however his growth was derailed by a head coaching change during the end of his freshman season, and untimely injuries during his sophomore season. A weak O-line vs SEC defenses is always a recipe for disaster. Having lost the starting job and not seeing any playing time last year, many assumed he would hit the transfer portal… but he didn’t. In today’s environment, he chose the road less traveled - deciding to stick it out and earn his degree. The Athletic wrote a great article about it.

“Keeping receipts”

😂😂😂

Don’t be a clown. Don’t act like you want to win here more than any of us want you to win here. The name of the school on your pay stubs is the name of the school on our diploma(s) which WE paid for. 
 

There’s not one person who went to North Texas that would be upset if you said “see told you we would win championships” because we were here before you got here and we’ll be here after you leave. Same goes for our highly paid VP/Executive/Chief/Senior/ Director of Athletics  

Not sure who you’re fighting but it ain’t us. You Gotta be kidding me. GTFO with that crap. 
 

Go do your damn job. Pretty simple. 
 

Sh*t, that is F’ing crazy. He should be embarrassed. Gets blown out and then wants to start fighting.

@C Rod What are your ties to Weatherford/Seals? A post from a while back says you spent 2 years filming Seals.  Are you a pro videographer?

I'm a commercial video producer and director with a love for football and Friday night lights. Back in 2018 I moved to Fort Worth and wanted to take on a passion project. Dale Hansen had done a sports news segment profiling Ken so I reached out to his father and asked if it would be okay if I attend games and film his son.

Nice but we had a QB transfer from Alabama and it didn't work out.  Wouldn't hurt to try but not nearly as optimistic about transfer from Vandy.

^ This.

Coaches and administrators need to understand that bucking their fan base is never a good idea. Coaches, administrators, and now even players come and go, but the fans outlast them all. Coach O needs to check himself, and focus on his job, which right now he is failing at. 

This team better be ready to run it up against FIU and LA Tech.
