What a disappointing game this has been. Going for it on 4th a few minutes ago was just a pathetic decision and definitely shows a lack of confidence in Caponi and the defense. 
 

So tired of making average players like Fancher look like an All American.

In the second half our defense gave up one touchdown after an interception put FAU on our 10 yard line and one field goal after an 18-yard drive. No other points. Part of the story of this incred

Glad we won, but we have better figure out how to tackle because Army will rush for 1000 yards if we don't. We better make them beat us with the passing game.

Just win. I don’t care what it looks like. 5-1 doesn’t happen around here very often. I’ll take it.

Every single time hope springs eternal, we start thinking about a 5-1 start with a win on national TV it never fails, we will shit the bed in embarrassing fashion. We have beat 4 awful teams, we pay these coaches entirely too much for this kind of a performance.

We have the highest paid defensive coordinator in G5. So don't say that budget's an issue we could have hired many many many many many other coordinators for what we paid him. So again in some cases yes but don't use budget when you talk about this hire. This was a stupid hire by Morris.

Peanuts compared to the coordinator salaries at Colorado. Their TE coach makes $400k. Caponi makes $475k.

Have you seen Travis Hunter and the QB?  And he would have brought the most talented recruiting class UNT ever had with him.  Moreover I am talking after his time winning at Jackson State.  The year Seth should have been fired.  You think all of the best players Sanders on Seth's last roster that Sanders may have wanted leaves?  We would have better DB talent and DB coaching. Not to mention just hiring a huge name locally changes the perception of our motivation to win.  

Again, what has he accomplished other than have a really QB as a son and recruiting Hunter who would NOT have come here. The players at Jackson State was to get a P5 job and take his guys with him which he did.

We wouldn't have had the money regardless. Move on.

I wanna give up on this team so bad. Tired of watching us shit the bed.

Sadly thousands of alumni have done this. Maybe someday the athletic director and president will understand and stop asking the fan base to step it up when they refuse to

Too many mistakes on both sides of the ball. Offensive play calling has been bad, two touchdowns called back just because we weren't lined up right. Defense let's them do whatever they want, can't stop the run.

With all due respect I'm not comparing it to hiring power conference coaches. But if you can tell me that we can be the highest paying defensive coordinator position in G5 and not get a proven experience coordinator or even a head coach from FBS I will disagree with you for all times

Caphoni and his scheme loves making below Avg QB's look like heisman candidates

I’m not disagree, but I feel like Fancher is playing out of his mind, not just taking advantage of poor defense.

But aren't you noticing the pattern that team after team seems to have all time high performances when they play our defense? I really believe if we could somehow have our offense play against our defense in a true game style situation there is a good chance the offense could put up close to a thousand yards against this defense.

With all due respect read the thread again. That side conversation was about Colorado and their staff, nothing else. Your comparison to other G5 budgets has nothing to do with that discussion.

just like that we get sucked back in. Down 3 now with 2:30 to go

I was thinking we go for two on the conversion. That way if we get a stop, we can win with a FG. There goes my optimism again.

With all due respect right back at you my comments were specifically toward g5s so using them out of context in your example is on you not me

I’d  like to downvote this and disagree with you…but I can’t.

      N.O. Bowl: SHSU (9-3) vs Ga. Southern (8-4), 6:00pm ESPN-2....UNT's future Defense on display!

      I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.

      Take a stand? 🤣 They won't and they don't care who are in the uniforms they love as long as they can play and aren't embarrassing the program in their free time. The 27 year olds in FBS not playing QB will be the rarity. Maybe the over 23 year olds playing the more physically taxing positions we stay put their final 2-3 years prioritizing education over chasing a very short improbable NFL careers. 🤷🏽‍♂️
