When you lose to the community college in San Antonio, that should be an automatic firing

Until Coach Keebler learns that the offense needs to complement the defense.....I'm not sure how much is gonna change. You can't constantly be going for it on 4th down. You need to play field pos

My guess is that Briles is such an offensive genius and will run the offense that Orr can just come home. 
 

But I’d rather have Orr as DC and leave Gary at home.

Morris is still in good shape. His team is fun to watch and he just posted one of the highest attended games in program history. He also has a chance to win a bowl game. Something that hasn’t happened here in too long. 
All he has to do is get the defense to slightly above average and we have a legitimate conference contender and excitement heading into next season. 

I have my doubts.

Eh too late 

Very much so and without a bowl win at any serious program bringing him in conjunction with a never finishing a season above 0.500 would get you fired.  We don’t have body bag games maybe we should bring them back to help test and finance the cost of bad coaching hires.  😂

I really hope our head coach and athletic director are not consulting a fan message board to determine major personnel decisions.

Why not because it appears they are clueless.  Doing things outside the box might yield some results and at least show fans you are really trying without regard for “Old Denton”.   Old Denton wasn’t invested in winning,  just some sort of vague local relevancy I am not sure is possible without consecutive 10 win seasons no matter the teams we have on the schedule.

I'm glad Caponi is gone. His firing is long past due. 

My problem is that most people knew during Morris' first year that Caponi wasn't the answer for our defense... except Morris. Morris let Caponi go into his first season at UNT without the players to run his 3-3-5 defensive scheme, and so UNT finished dead last in defense that season. Morris allowed Caponi to continue force feeding us the 3-3-5 going into year 2, and Caponi brought in a bunch of transfers, but the results have still sucked, even after we implemented more traditional schemes. And to make things worse... Morris has a habit of passing up points and going for it on 4th, which hasn't been successful against teams that can actually win games. Plus, Morris has no jumbo package for short yardage situations, which makes it easier for defenses to scheme against us on 4th down attempts. All of that to say, Morris is also a big reason why our defense sucks. Morris' decision making tends to place our defense in tough positions. Who is going to rein him in.

Just seeing this!!  Fantastic....but...why the wait??   

We could tell this was a disaster long before now.    Now the season has already been ruined and any interim can't make much impact on changes they might want to make.

Regardless.......Great news......just 11 months too LATE!

I believe that is how a majority of changes are made at the FBS level = Fan Base and Donor pressure! 

Who else are you trying to lure to watch games and give to the program?

AD, as in Athletic Department (ie HC Eric Morris),, not AD, as in Athletic Director...

I want Coach Ed Gennero to run the show. Also, I hope we could find an old farm boy and a science teacher with one year of eligibility left to lead the team. 

I wonder if there is a samurai lineback we can recruit out of the military??

Gotta have Coach Rig as DC too.

      2025 DC Wish List

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
