***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

[Marty]

Embarrassing! Out coached & out played.

[Green Otaku]

I don't know about you guys, but I've seen enough of Eric Morriss. He doesn't have it.

Damn, you already forgot about the early Dodge years?? Especially his debut against ou??   Lmao

No, I remember the OU debut. But that was against a highly ranked OU team. This was UTSA, and they had a losing record this season.

Yeah, I still haven’t heard what the new president’s stance is on athletics, but I imagine this kind of stuff starts to land on Mosley’s shoulders if the president cares at all. 

Four straight losses on four straight national broadcasts is not good for the university. 

Wait, we have a new president?   Just kidding, I know we do.  He’s just missing in action. On brand for UNT.  

[untlynchka1]

Look, this season has quickly turned disappointing, but we absolutely CAN NOT fire Morris. Morris brings us Chris Jimmerson Jr.  He HAS to stay.

Morris has not built a tough team. UTSA has a tough team, not us. That's a big reason why they won. Our team is soft, and I think that's a big part of why we suck. I blame our coaches for that too. 

Triangle of Toughness.   

You don’t have to like the guy and you may think he’s a snake.   But you can’t deny that he can coach, motivate and recruit.

Man I remember debating with people during the Dodge years which was worse, the seasons we got beat so bad every game, or the seasons we were at least competitive and still lost 10 games.  Lol

Morris isn’t going anywhere. Can’t say the same for Caponi. I know they’ve been resistant to firing him mid season but this feels.. bad. Could have had the offense at their tip top best and wouldn’t have matter when you give up 48 points and 700 yards. 

[keith]

Explain yourselves.  
 

[Rudy]

At this rate, it's #hit6....losses

[TripleGrad]

Am I a bad fan for just wanting the season to be over now?  Is a minor bowl in mid December really worth the effort?  I can't NOT watch, but I really don't want to see us play some MAC team in front of 500 people on a Wednesday afternoon.

Remember that in late April, when college basketball season is over and you're yearning for football again.

[Big Z]

Did anybody else see how many injuries UTSA had? At least 15

If Mosley can’t, won’t or doesn’t want to fix his mistake, then his head should be on the chopping block too.  

Never going to happen.

Smatresk seemed like a sports guy and was interested in us having positive noise around our programs.  The new President seems like a nice guy the two times I've met him, but he does not seem like someone who's ready to do the hard things (fire an AD) to change the direction of our football program.

In Slovenia with the wife and can’t watch the game later so will just post now that I am really disappointed in how we played. 

See? That was so much easier and more enjoyable than torturing myself!

[Salsa_Verde]

Didn’t even watch. I already knew. But hey….morale victory or whatever.

Bold added for accuracy.

Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch.

To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences.

Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.

He got a five year deal. He's made $2.5 million off of us so far. ($1.2m in year 1, $1.3m this year)

 

And I believe he gets $100k more each year. So his next three years....he'll get $1.4m, $1.5m and $1.6m.

As I bitched about earlier this year, before I stopped going....he didn't show up for his first radio show, and stayed for half of the next four. And yet he gets a $300k a year stiped for radio/TV (which raises his base salary from the original $900k).

Hate to break it to you......he isn't going anywhere.....

Translation our broke ass is stuck with him.  Are we the worst at hiring coaches or what?

i do blame jared as he never really looked at any other coaches.  He went with his gut and on the cheap and now we are screwed!

Yall, go watch Chris Jimmerson play today.  You’ll finally understand the master plan

Even if he developed as a college QB, he'd be a true freshman next year. Unless he takes the reigns year 1, he won't start until 2 more years from now which would be 4 years into Eric Morris' tenure with only 1 more year to go so a decision would have to be made on his retention. A 4 year plan in the portal era which possibly won't see that leap until there's 1 year left on the contract seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

[GMG93]

UTSA has unfortunately become the rivalry that we deserve.  All there is to look forward to now are cheap tix, short lines, wide open parking and a great MGB performance against ECU.

Looked him up.  He’s a 5’7” 170lb QB/Wr.  You’re trolling us or you’re not watching the same games I am… unless he’s the key to unlocking 800 yards and 55ppg he’s not the answer.  The answer is a defense with a pulse.  I am not saying we don’t need or want him…but he’s not changing this team from losers to winners by himself.  That lousy team that just whipped us last night has always had a better defense on the field than we have.  With the exception of 2013.
