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.

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

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.

@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.

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.

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.
