I don’t want this team going to a bowl game that they will get blown out in. I don’t want to hear all off-season about how Eric Morris got us to a bowl game and how somehow that puts lipstick on this horrible horrible atrocity. And I certainly don’t want anybody talking about how we were so close in a lot of games and he’s gonna get it turned around. This man doesn’t have a douchebaging clue and it shows. 

Couldn't agree more. Morris doesn't deserve a bowl game. Stay home and watch others who know what they're doing and how to win.

And learn to scheme up new plays. Remove all those WR screens that take up half the playbook.

And we're the passionate fans.  The casuals have already checked out, probably permanently.

I know this was probably because of Thanksgiving break, but looking at the stadium, you could see this big time.

The screen play has its place, we use it WAAAY too much. I know it is part of Air Raid, but it only works consistently against slow, bad defenses.

When will we play ourselves on the schedule?

This is exactly where I was with Littrell before he got canned. At this point, it is maddening that we make a change and stay the same. We just burn through money year after year for the same results. 

I don't know what the answer is, but I know this isn't it. I agree, we should not give NT unproven coaches anything over 3 years. I would even say in today's NIL and transfer portal, you could even go 2 years.

I understand the sentiment but I still hope to win next week and make a bowl game. Morris will still be here next year regardless.

Yup.

Winning against Temple should have no bearing on the actions that need to be taken. So, as always, I hope NT wins. We’ve already cratered so far that if embarrassed in a lowly bowl, that would receive no more general interest and derision than our current woe.

I'm usually for "more football" but not after tonight. Lose out and be done with the season. 

Sadly, I feel the same way.

Give it a scholarship to play DB at North Texas?

You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

The same napkin he wipes his ass with. 

The air raid had its time…in the 90s - 2000s. It’s like the Cowboys running the McCarthy offense that was successful 20+ years ago and we magically think it’ll work when WE run it. There’s no creativity in EMs play calling, and he doesn’t have a good sense of what plays to run at what point.

You miss the point then.   Hoping to keep this team, with THIS coach, out of a bowl game is 1000% rooting for UNT.

Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s?  How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash?
 

Then 2012 happened……

https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/

They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl.

That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to.  
 

Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan.  

That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now.  Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it.

Unless any of you have $5-10M to donate right now to Athletics for EM's buyout and New coach salaries then you're just a Mob howling in the wind.   

It's not happening; we can't afford it. 

We've been on this road before with Seth, Benford, etc...
