I hope we lose to Temple
I'm not rooting for Temple next Saturday. I'll never cheer for UNT to lose. But, even if UNT beats Temple by 100 points, Morris still needs to be fired. This season started 5-1. There is no excuse for dropping 5 straight games. Just like there is no excuse for blowing 21 point lead to an interim head coach... at home no less. The portal changes everything. That's why other AAC programs are able to fire their coaches in their 2nd seasons at their schools. Morris has already had two season to fix the defense. He hasn't been able to fix it. I can't think of any reason why he might magically figure it out this off season. These are Morris' FBS wins this season... USA 6-5 (bowl team) Wyoming 2-9 Tulsa 3-8 (Fired their 2nd year coach) FAU 2-9 (Fired their 2nd year coach) Morris has built a team that for the most part, only beats bums. We saw this movie before with Littrell. I'm done with this crap. It's time to rebuild.- 1

What is this program missing?
Their coach was previously at LSU and was pushed out for NCAA infractions. He is a good very good coach and recruits well so I personally am not troubled by this road loss. -

Not sure everyone is understanding of college football landscape. Miami paid a transfer DL $250,000 AND THE DUDE DOESN'T PLAY, He is a back up (insurance policy if you will.) I totally understand on not wanting to throw money at players but the reality is if you can pay, kids will join. If not, you're relying on finding kids who don't care about money (GOOD LUCK) and just want to compete and win football games. On our current roster 4 players from Littrell era contributed to wins this season. Jordan Brown, Damon Ward, Jett Duncan, and Rod Brown. We played 10 games with a very sub par DC. We did not pursue the portal near hard enough to help fill holes in the defensive scheme. IMO at our level we should be a 4 down front with the ability to hop in and out of 3 down when needed in favorable down and distances. 46 players on the current roster are Jr or Sr. The vast majority of this roster are So, RS Fr, and the biggest group being true Freshman. You don't win a bunch of games at any level with a bunch of true freshman. The fact we've been in them to compete has been a miracle (No I am not happy we aren't pulling them out or winning.) The young and transfer talent they have brought in is encouraging to me personally. Should we play better, should we be making more plays, ABSOLUTELY. However, coach can't catch the ball for guys, coach can't catch wide open TD's for guys. Coach can't magically make a walk on WR/ ST guy into a bonafide D1 RB. Our scholarship RB's have been banged up like crazy and we have relied on a walk on, and 2 True Freshman RB. I think we go to Temple, play very well and get into a bowl game and then its on. Coach lost our most productive OL in pregame to a freak injury...... PREGAME. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. Is he perfect? no, but to call for the staff and his job is silly in year 2. The guy did a total rebuild last year and had us IN games with a completely rebuilt roster. He needs to make the right DC hire in the offseason. My pick is La Tech current DC. We will see what happens.- 3

We need an offensive coach who puts the defense first. All the teams mentioned (Boise, Tcu, Cincy, UCF) had badass defenses paired with high flying offenses. You CAN still play fundamentally sound defensive football but you can’t pair it with an offense that kids don’t want to play in (what doomed Mac). I actually think DD in 2024 would do both. So the answer is find the next Darrell Dickey. HFC is tricky to hire. He’s got to be someone that can recruit assistants, first and foremost. Dickey had been around a long time and came from a football family (his Dad was KSU HFC) so he had ties everywhere. With a young coach you are betting that he, himself, is going to win games and account for a lack of a deep staff…or that other coaches see him as someone on the rise that they ride the ladder with. That’s what Littrell initially brought and his first staff was tremendous. Then as they started taking promotions he couldn’t replace them. I don’t know this for sure, but Morris doesn’t seem able to bring in enough experienced coaches, yet. His first staff was extremely underwhelming from a resume standpoint. All the doom and gloom in this thread is tiring. UNT still funds the football program at a level that is competitive with the top of the g5. Maybe we need to bring up NIL, but overall, we’re not nearly as far off as some people would have you believe.
