So we really can't criticize the head coach, eh?

Tried that yesterday...still went poof. But what I could pick up from that is that there are some (small/significant?) changes in the background going on, and honestly it's smart to not put it all out there until ready. Lack of transparency, but it's still a privately owned board.

So, yes, I think something is afoot, and we'll have to endure a bit of micromanaging until then. 

I'm not crazy about it, and I certainly don't like being told I can't be critical of my team. But I'll give my b*tching a break and see what happens. 

If I don't like it...We can open our own forum. With blackjack and hookers.

Did somebody say hookers???

Thinking that Coach Morris would be fired two games into the season is asinine anyway. I don't believe in censorship either, but the post in principal is/was ridiculous and counter productive. Morris is obviously still learning about this team, but at least he's showing he can adjust and make the changes we all wanted to see. Gripes of this nature, that are destructive in nature, are best addressed in an email to the responsible parties, not on a public fan board.

It is asinine, but people should be able to post their asinine opinions as long as they don't contain threats or anything inappropriate.

A fire the head coach thread a couple of weeks into his first football season is pretty embarrassing and disappointing too.

did you watch the first 2 games, which was embarrassing and then the 3rd game where team nearly blew a 17 pt lead with under 5 min left?

This should not be a rebuilding year.

But they allow the smut’s to post anytime and anything. Last time I looked they had their own fan forum and this one is still called go mean green. 
 

If you’re going to censor then censor those antagonists from smut not our own fans. 
 

C’mon 

This I agree with 100%. Sad that this board values getting views so highly that they allow SMU material to stay on the F'ing UNT Football board.

Every single ounce of criticism has been warranted. All. Of. It.

So we should all just hold hands and smile? Is this board's or this athletic department's mentality so fragile that 1 fan's opinion is going to make the whole thing come crashing down? 

You can feel any way you like about the thread, but everyone on this board should have a problem with unwarranted censorship. This kind of thing should be unacceptable.

As many have said in the past, compared to other schools, the jobs of AD and head football coach at UNT are probably the easiest in major college football as they are protected from criticism and not held accountable for performance.

Absolutely, and being on a privately owned board, the owners can freely moderate them as they choose.

I personally don't see this as a big deal.  And it wasn't a big deal when my shit got edited out, either.

Lastly, we've had a group leave gmg.com before to form their own message board.  Both communities seem to be doing fine.

I sure did. They look like a 3 week old coaching staff and team still figuring some things out about each other. You can say it’s not a rebuild until you’re blue in the face. That doesn’t make it true. Maybe it’s not a rebuild like prior UNT coaches have walked into, but nobody was bragging about how great this football program was set up for the future at the end of last season.

I have never been part of a bye-week conspiracy before.  

I don't know the answers.

But publicly questioning the mods will get things deleted at times. If you have a question, send Harry a PM, unless you know which mod enforced something. Then you can PM them or Harry.

Before you PM me, I don't know the answers to questions raised in this thread. it seems like nice scandalous bye week material though.

I thought this thread (based on the title) was supposed to be about criticizing the coaching staff or if it's even permissible.  The fire issue was a different thread.

Then @Harry or whomever else is responsible needs to come out and define what the purpose of this board is. Is it to freely discuss UNT and its athletics? Or is it a promotion for the university? 

I thought it was the former and we were allowed to discuss whatever subject we wanted as long as it was inside the rules of the forum. 

You should care, our voices here should be our own. Otherwise what's the point of even discussing?

That doesn’t really matter. Everyone with a brain understood no one would be fired. It was simply a way for many to voice the degree and depth of their frustration.  

Many have been around a very long time and have witnessed this same ole pattern year after year after year. 

It’s been building for awhile. Morris just happen to come on board when the pimple was ready to pop. 

He won’t get a grace period. There is no honeymoon this time around. He needs to find a way to win and win big this year, right now. He needs to coach like he’s never coached before. 

Time is of the essence. 
 

 

[southsideguy]

he will be here at least until his last year of his contract,  That is the UNT way.

I feel like I've stepped back into the golden era of message boarding again. mod complaints. spin off boards. conspiracy theories. I love it. 

can't do this on tik tok. well, maybe you can but I certainly don't have the money for a manicure to do that hand thing everyone does.

Since there are a lot or moderators, perhaps a useful feature would be to indicate which moderator deleted/removed/hid a thread or for the moderator to message the the thread OP or the person with the post that caused the thread to be removed with the reason.  That way people don't have to bother Harry all the time.
