When UNT Coaches Won Their First Games

[rcade]

Going back to the return to FBS, here's how UNT coaches began their time in Denton before Eric Morris.

Darrell Dickey lost his first four games:

• Loss: 37-9 at Oklahoma
• Loss: 30-0 at Texas Tech
• Loss: 34-15 at Arizona State
• Loss: 28-9 at No. 17 Texas A&M
• Win: 21-13 vs. Boise State

Todd Dodge lost his first five games:

• Loss: 79-10 at No. 8 Oklahoma
• Loss: 45-31 at SMU
• Loss: 30-20 vs. Florida Atlantic
• Loss: 66-7 at Arkansas
• Loss: 38-29 at Louisiana-Lafayette
• Win: 31-21 vs. Louisiana-Monroe

Dan McCarney lost his first three games:

• Loss: 41-16 at Florida International
• Loss: 48-23 vs. Houston
• Loss: 41-0 at No. 2 Alabama
• Win: 24-21 vs. Indiana

Seth Littrell lost his first game:

• Loss: 34-21 vs. SMU
• Win: 41-20 vs. Bethune-Cookman

A lot of them had pretty grim out of conference schedules during their honeymoon period, Dickey in particular.

Our chances looked better by the time Littrell arrived. Morris had two eight-loss teams to play in Cal and FIU, making 2-0 achievable before we made the mistake of playing the games.

Not making ANY excuses for Morris, but the Cal team that lost 8 games last season is not the same Cal team we played…FIU, well no explanation for that one

Cal might win 2 more games. But, sure.

Against 7 current Top 25 teams the rest of the year…way to go out on a limb there.  
 

Yet I still say you’re wrong
