Was SL the ideal situation for Cr1028 and his Mean Green? I don't think it was ideal for me.  I think we moved on because we demand more, and even thought Morris might fail to meet those expectations too, it doesn't mean we should have kept SL.

You bounce around between vehemently defending SL, to pointing out double standards with Morris.  You clearly don't like him.  But our reality is, the AD felt it was time to move on regardless of the success of the next coach.  

So, how do we find closure for you and SL? Is it firing Morris, or waiting until after 2 more coaches? Maybe you want a message from a specific poster that says "gosh, we regret firing SL"? Or maybe you like where you stand, and you feel like this is a good position to post about for the rest of your fandom.  It doesn't matter if I tire of it: when does Cr1028 tire of it?  Seems like a boring, repetitive theme when you figure out 1) you're not going to change anyone's mind, and 2) SL isn't coming back.

At least I know we are both #GoMeanGreen.  Not questioning that.

Good post. I will chill out for awhile.

Reading and writing seem fine, it’s the spelling that’s concerning .🤣🤣

It's a stupid goal and low bar to set.  It implies minimal expectation, effort and confidence in players and our program.

Good grief, no wonder this is an easy job for the AD. 

AD - "Coach all you have to do is get to 6 wins"

Coach - "That's it?" 

AD- "Yep our fans will love you forever"

Coach - "Awesome"

AD - "Now let's go get you a BBQ sandwich at Rudy's" 

Coach "Gee golly...that be great!" 

We're talking about 2 different sets of "Expectations".


You and I are on the same page when talking about the expectations you are referring to... Where we should be as a football program.   Middling around .500 football when we're smack-dab in the middle of a talent hotbed like DFW is not acceptable at all.   Look at what UCF was able to accomplish in a very short amount of time due to being in a talent hotbed, and appropriating the correct funding/priority to the football program.

This thread (and my comments in it) is talking about the expectations of this year's football team though.   And when looking at all of the pieces of this year's football team, as compared to last year's results, I don't think 6 wins is asking too much... sadly.

I suppose you're not understanding, so let's break it down. I have some time today.

What is your realistic expectation of the 2024 Mean Green football team this year?   Consider the following:  Schedule/opponents, coaching staff, players...

At least win 8 games and hopefully burying the outdated HIT 6 slogan

You really think we're going to win 8 games this season after losing Rogers, Maclin, Adeyi, Adaway, and going 5-7 last year?

I'm sorry, I hope for that, but there's no way I can expect that.


Now, is <8wins/yr where we should be, as a football program?    Heck no!   Not against the competition we play while being located in DFW. 
I completely agree that "Hit 6" should not ever be a goal for the Mean Green.  I expect more.

We've done it before

2013 - (9-4)

2016 - (5-8) 

2017 - (9-5)

2018 - (9-4)

I don’t mind Hit 6 being a goal, but it shouldn’t be the goal.

Hit 6—>win conference—>make playoff

One goal leads to reaching the next goal.

Teams have more than one goal.  The ones I listed were just as an example to illustrate my point.  But hey, maybe you still think it’s “good grief.”

And, what would be the appeal of TSU? Serious question. All I know is the San Marcos river is there.

Well its situated midway between Austin and San Antonio so there is that. My question back to you is what is the appeal of UNT? Most recent football coaches complain that its difficult to recruit here. Finding the answer to that question may be the answer to yours.

Football is totally about finding a quality QB, and keeping them healthy.  Then they transfer or graduate and you start over again, or you fail if you don't find one as in Littrell's case.

That 2012-2013 jump is a good comparison, but I'm having a tough time finding the dudes on this year's defense that can compare to that 2013 defense (let alone the skins Skladany had on the wall VS what Caponi brings).   Maybe we'll get some surprises.  It would be awesome!  ...but totally unexpected.

As for 2016-2017, I think it's important to bring up where the program came from just 1 year prior (1-11 with the worst loss in program history in 2015), so the improvement had already begun.  Littrell just continued his own momentum in 2017.

I’d bet that more of their students like sports, in general, than ours do. Texas State just finally had a season to get some attention. Same thing happened at UTSA.

      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.
