They signed Eric to a 5 year deal per Brett Vito. So there is no way in hell they can afford to buy him out.  They are still paying off Seth now that he got canned again!  I don’t disagree that he deserves to be fired, but we screwed up with the guaranteed contracts and no buyout provisions.  Which Jared deserves the blame.

Wasn’t this past year the last year to pay out Seth?

I think we didn’t have to pay him the remainder of his guaranteed money if be had another gig.  Now that he is fired again we may owe him some more.

Littrell’s UNT contract ended Jan. 31, 2024, so UNT shouldn’t have been paying him for quite some time.

The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

Yup - at least 2 more years of exciting 5-win football  😐

in the new world of NIL coaches contracts should not be signed for more than three years.  There is no longer the luxury of building a team.

This is a good point. NIL has changed the game and we at North Texas has a long way to go . But turning over your whole roster each year would be difficult. If you sign a coach for three years a high school recruit would be hesitant to sign up with a coach knowing he will leave possibly when he is a red shirt sophomore . I believe you do have to sign a coach for five years for recruiting stability but have buy out packages along the way.

This hurts, I was skeptical of the hire in the first place.  We got another OC that wasn't ready to be a head coach nor tweak his Air Raid offense to perform in the clutch and short yardage.  Walked out of the game after that 4th and 1 up the middle run that took us out of the game leading 21-14.  By the time I got to my car the score 31-24.  See y'all back at DATCU Stadium 2026 maybe if we have a new head coach or EM wins 9 games in 2025.  I can't afford to spend money on something that just frustrates me.

I think that's the point. This is not a thing anywhere except the elite programs.

This is where I have been for a little bit. I went to a couple of the games where I thought they could make a difference in their national credibility, and we know how that went. Not sure why I was expecting anything different.

3 year contracts.  1 year extension for bowl appearances.

No.  No extensions for appearances.  6-wins should not be rewarded in any way.   Don’t reward mediocrity. 

Extension for conference championship games.  Raise the standards.

Given NIL etc this makes sense.
