I have a question that I do not know the answer to and I am hoping old heads, and when I say old head, I am meaning people over 55 because that's my age or UNT historians can tell me; have we ever had a head coach that was a UNT alumni?

Yes, the majority have a degree from the College of Bad Football.

Nope, but for some reason most have come from Baylor.  I am not 55, it is on the internet.

I think because if we can ever figure it out and know and understand how to run a proper athletics program then I do think anything is possible. I don't mean to say that there isn't upside here and things cannot change but taking out the financial part of things, the fact that this school hardly ever makes the right hire is just baffling.

It feels that so many other schools with so much less are able to do so much more and it just takes finding and hiring the right coaches and program builders. 

This is the key to everything. The athletic department is the most important piece to success. You need leaders who are always pushing for better things and never settling. You need an athletic director and department that can accurately evaluate hires. UNT has never been able to put a good staff together, that's why we haven't been able to get good hires outside of McCasland.

Question, and correct me if i'm wrong.... Didn't TxSt hire Kinne over Morris before we were in the market and then we hired Morris? Or am I remembering that incorrectly?

You are correct.

You couldn't sell out DATCU next week, if you offered free admission to Haitians, and had cat at the concession stands. 

Getting our asses beat is still no excuse for racist jokes, thanks.

I think Morris turned them down once we started showing interest.

No, our level is the mid to bottom half of the AAC.   Teams at the bottom are there for a reason.  Teams at the top are there for a reason.  Our choices have and will continue to determine our position in that group.  

Our games will determine where we are in the AAC.

The PAC might elevate us 2-4 places in the AAC.  So that's a positive.

Kinne was hired 11 days before Morris and 2 days before we fired Littrell.

I remember fans here complaining that waiting to fire Littrell would cost us in hiring, but how many people back then would've considered Kinne a much better hire than Morris?

Like it or not, unless some of y'all can raise about $5 million or more, Morris will be our coach next year.  Just have to hope he and the rest of this staff can get things figured out fast.

I have absolutely no confidence that Morris will have things figured out.

Part of me wonders if averaging 7-8 wins and a bowl game six out of seven years was the ceiling of this particular program at this time. Sure sounds great right about now. 

Over reaction to one game that takes us to 2-1.  This team still could reach that mark 6 win mark if we they don't make easy for their opponents with sloppy play.  A 10 year+ run of that "sounds nice" will have leadership move the program down to FCS for financial reasons alone.

Coz it puts them at a more acceptable 2nd and 10 position

Haha, for real. I’m ready to throw the air raid in the trash and replace it with a run-first offense led by Coach Cobbs.

I’ll settle for a coach that shows emotion and seen hollering and pumping up his players, walking up and down the sideline yelling.

Seth was extended early AND fired a season late.  Absolutely insane to give any head coach a SECOND extension early without a conference championship in your G5 conference.  We aren't Vandy in the SEC or Indiana in the Big 10.  The gaps in G5 are small and not insurmountable at a school with UNT's resources, we should stop acting like they are.

So we’re having trouble moving the ball against their second/third team defense 

Team quit. This is so frustrating I can only laugh so I don’t scream.

We had one of the worst defenses of all time last season.  We bring the coordinator and scheme back and are beyond embarrassingly bad (to historic levels) once again.  Meanwhile, the administration has the audacity to ask for a sellout next week.  I'm starting to think it would be better if we could just quietly finish this season with as few people paying attention as possible.
