As they say about hindsight ....

It is clear now that while Morris might have presented a good plan, his estimations for defense were completely missed. The question becomes, can he adjust and admit that his defensive vision was wrong? My concern is that the coaches from the Leach Tree have very little success when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.

Agreed. 9 games into the season. Defense is awful. What has Morris done to fix things at this point in the season? It's the same thing week after week after week after week after week after week after week after week after week...and the defense is consistently W E A K!

With three moral victories in a row, UNT just became moral bowl eligible.

But remember the players like them and it motivates them. Just think how poorly they might perform if they weren't wearing black

Terrible. This defense is just terrible. Everything about what Caponi is doing is terrible. And Morris is just letting Caponi run it into the ground.

Read that the new HC at Colorado demoted his OC and has someone else calling plays this week.

Well, the season's over. Let's hope SMU doesn't hang 50 on us next week. We're not going to a bowl game. The transfer portal opens up December 4th. I hope we can get some decent depth and size on the defense. 

What a disappointment of a season.

I disappointed that 9 weeks into this season more hasn't been done to fix our defense. We have had the worst run defense in the country from day one, and Caponi hasn't don't enough to change that. UTSA just killed 5 minutes off the clock to kick our ass. Morris needs to answer for this. I know I've said evaluate at the end of the season, and then fire Caponi, but this is just total embarrassment. FIRE CAPONI NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care who coaches the defense for the rest of the season. This season is lost anyway. I tired of watching this crap! And, judging by the turnout today, everyone else is tired of this crap too.

The season never started for Caponi. Our defense has allowed at least one 100 yard rusher in every game this season (and yes, that includes the Abilene Christian game)! Le that sink in.

In the first half for most everyone of them as well.

I am more concerned with over 200 yards rushing by almost every team we’ve played.  UTSA got 184 yards the first half.  I don’t know how they let us back in the game.  I wasn’t able to get ESPN+ on the plane.

All three of these past games, i don't know why their teams stopped running. That's all they had to do. Keep rushing. It's not even close if they just kept doing that. It's like their RBs get gassed and they have to pass.

I heard UTSA ran 3 straight pass plays to open the second half to go 3 and out.  It like the Offensive Coordinators just barely want to cover the spreads.

My biggest issue with our losses to Tulane, Memphis, and UTSA is the amount of mistakes we're making. Against Tulane, it was repeated dropped passes to kill drives in the first half. Against Memphis, it was the 3 holding calls on kick returns that had us start deep in our territory to start drives. Against UTSA, it's the 3 turnovers. None of this is aided by the fact that we haven't forced a turnover in 2 games but the misfires are killing us. Coaching needs to get better on all fronts.

The season was over after the 1st half of the Cal game.

Just admit it. These uniforms are straight out crappy and they have no reason to exist.

Just admit it? My dude, i didn't design them. I thought they looked fine when they tweeted them, but yeah definitely lacking on the field.

If we had a bad defense it would be an improvement to what we are putting on the field.  I think a lot has to do with coaching and the fact SL left the cupboard bare for Morris.  If Morris wants to be here for awhile he may want to replace that DC sooner rather then later.  If not for UNT  then for his family.

Two more thoughts- would someone tell the game show host on the field that it is not necessary to yell into the microphone.

The DJ volume could we taken down a couple of decibels.  That want the crowd to be loud but you couldn't hear over the DJ music.  I know it is for the children but man you cant talk to the guy next to you during the game.

Sad I now go to the games excepting to lose.  Makes it easier to be a fan.  Yeah on the uniforms if I didn't know it was us and randomly turn on the TV I would not know what teams was playing.  Maybe that is the point.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
