Some of you were so certain that Seth Littrell was holding us back that just about anyone could improve over him. Well, we are now worse. I hope things improve but right now it looks like we are headed from conference runnerup to cellar dwellar again. Hope it was fun.

Well... I must say SL lost every game of consequence. This and next season may lead to 3-5 wins combined, but these 2 seasons will also bring home the exact amount of hardware SL stuffed into our trophy case.

Clearly, we were not getting better under Seth, and that would only lead to worse results in this conference. He lacked the personality and the recruiting skills to be a head coach. Probably a great OC. 

Timing with Wren was more of the issue for. me

I disagree. The wheels fell off after Harrell left but we were better every season after that 2019 disaster with Bodie Reeder. We were one play away from beating UTSA in their house last season and beat them like a drum the year before. Just imagine the beatdown they are going to throw us this November 4.

So watching a below 0.500 coach against FBS competition was fun for you?  If you were a loser, you’re a loser.   So now we’re comparing magnitude of being a loser to present in an argument?  I am sorry that I do not take any bowl game appearances bowl games seriously if you need the FCS game to count to get to 6 wins.  And Seth teams’ performances were trending, flat or down.

Yup what was that big important win game Seth won. I must of missed it. But he did let SMU come in here last year and trounce us. Did he ever beat them at home?

Stop referring to this please.  The weather in Denton that day made it impossible for UTSA to pass the ball.  You couldn’t have scripted better weather for a Seth team that mediocre at passing in perfect whether.  Everyone knows they probably kick our ass that day, and Seth is fired if it weren’t cold, windy and raining that day.

Whether you like it or not, we beat a top, what, 15 team, in Denton and we made more noise beating a hapless Arkansas than we have in forever.

What does that mean? Are really saying conditions can't favor one team over another?

Yes.  People should quit  making excuses why we beat the sh!t out of UTSA that day.

Your favorite coach was lucky enough to have a FBS conference full of FCS schools fall into his lap so you may want to reevaluate your measuring stick of what a top coach at NT looks like.

We are now 128-205 since we moved up to I-A (FBS) in 1995. 

That’s with 7 head coaches, 4 conferences, and 2 stadiums.

In the end, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. We have 6 winning seasons since then. We have won 9 games in 4 seasons as our best record and we have  had 1 year with 8 wins. That’s it.

Sad, but it’s our truth.

OMG, do you really believe UTSA was really a top-15 team? So silly, so overrated proved in their bowl game that year.

Unfortunately I don’t get a vote.  However, I think they were undefeated at the time and “ranked” somewhere around that.  Why the revisionist history?  We beat them.

From your mouth to all the naysayers to the FACT we should invest our resources to basketball and quit pretending to play football at the D1 level. 

Field your football team. 

Invest your money into basketball. 

Let's be the KU of the AAC. 

Any other decision is foolish.

The only thing that keeps me from going to quit football is the naive notion that college football here gives young men a chance at a free education to hopefully better themselves with in the future. Literally, it’s the only thing. But it’s a damn big one.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
