This is not what we were sold when Morris was hired. This was never supposed to be a rebuild. Morris was supposed to elevate us higher and make us more competitive. Can't be surprised that fans/people are quitting on this team. 

The program needs to show fans that real changes are being made. Fans are tired of the lipstick on this pig. Caponi has to go., and Morris needs to own up to that bad hire.

LoL, we might get Morris or some of his Coordinators fired in the next few years if we don't perform, but seeing UNT fire an AD? Wooo buddy... we got at least a decade of bad football before they'd do that, especially if basketball is decent during the same time period.

If you were told something and believed it, that's on you.

What do you think happens when there's a new coach? Even P5 programs usually go through a year of transition with a new coach.

Show where the athletic department told us Morris was coming here for a rebuild. All I read was how he was going to elevate out programs as we moved to the AAC.

Transition doesn't imply regression.  Seth had to go... but this is so much worse.

You seemed dedicated to getting a ban lately, so unsure why I even bother. You'll argue with God if it got you a down vote.

If you can't see how Littrell was hanging on by a thread and this team needed a rebuild that's your fault. A Littrell team down multiple scores at half time would have imploded. GFY

Littrell was only hanging on by a thread because the leadership at UNT and fans like you kept making excuses for his failures. No one is buying that crap anymore. No more excuses. If you can show me where the AD was calling this a rebuild and I'll shut up. But, you can't, because it was never meant to be a rebuild.

Can you not see that Morris and Co have been completely underwhelming this year. Littrel needed to go but Morris didn't have to be the pick. It's nothing personal but it's hard to see to light at the end of the tunnel with them, been that way since the cal game. I know some of us where told to be more positive in a public form but wow it's garbage fluff takes out here man.

Good content. Go ahead and elaborate.  Curious to hear your brilliant deductions.

I don't care you're just here to shit on the program. You did it when Littrell had success and failure. If you can't see the improvement in this team (however limited), I can't help you.

We went into the season without a solid starting qb...we changed defensive systems. Delude yourself as much as you want.

I've never seen ANY athletic department make a public announcement there was going to be a rebuilding year. That's not how it works. As a Memphis fan pointed out last week, expecting a new coach coming in the same year we move to what everyone knew was a tougher conference is "unrealistic."

So, you admit the department never called this season a rebuild. You admit Morris went into the Media Day and talked about us competing for the AAC title this season. Thanks.

Morris actually changed us to a worse defense. That's regression, not a rebuild.

Go ahead and elaborate on those improvements.  Start with defense

We played for the conference title last season, and brought back most of our talent. Not saying we should be in contention for the AAC title, but we were considered a bowl team before the season started. That's not unrealistic. This Morris defense couldn't get us into the C-USA title game this year. Caponi's defense is crap, and everyone knows it. Morris allows this to continue week after week. That is unrealistic.

Wow, this so wrong it doesn’t warrant I thoughtful response.  But I will try.

1. Morris has faced tougher competition 

2. He has a complete offense with a QB who completes almost 65% of his passes most of the time in shootouts trailing.  
 

So Morris in a tougher conference has a team with only one glaring issue: Defense. Seth couldn’t fix the defense or QB position for over 3 years.  He kept his job an extra year on the “strength” of a fluke rain soaked victory at home that favored the only thing that worked under him consistently; the run game.  

I absolutely would not be watching games, going to games or care enough to post here if Seth was still here.  Maybe Rogers is successful here and gets the starting job under Seth.  But I think Seth talks Aune into staying and if that happens I doubt Rogers is here or on the bench if he is.

I don't think rebuild vs. not rebuild is a real distinction in the era of the transfer portal and NIL.

What would a rebuilding college football team do that a non-rebuilding team would not do? Everybody has to get better today. Nobody is helped by losing, unlike in pro sports with a draft that rewards it. Everybody needs to work the portal well or see other teams eat their lunch. Everybody needs to do as well at NIL as their conference mates.

Morris isn't rebuilding. He's just not winning.

I agree. Caponi just didn't do his job in the offseason. And, Morris didn't do his job when choose Caponi to run the defense.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
