SL didn't have to deal with NIL and the portal

He didn't have to deal with NIL but he absolutely did have to deal with the portal. Maybe not in the same way but I can think of a couple twins who are both currently on NFL rosters yet some celebrated leaving UNT because of a few bad penalties.

The college game keeps evolving and with change comes opportunity.
The head coaching job now is a lot different than when SL was here.

Football tactics and strategies continue to evolve too and much of the offensive plays that SL ran to become successful have been figured out by defenses. Considering SL has already been fired from his next job, it is likely his tenure here would have continued to go downhill as well.

Why do we have to explain this?  Mediocre over 7 years and below 0.500 against FBS competition.  Nothing special and without massive changes in the quality of players we got, a mediocre coach isn’t winning the AAC as presently constructed.

Yeah, but the guy has been coaching at Incarnate Word and North Texas…

That’s not exactly Georgia and Alabama. Almost all coaches would be below .500 against FBS competition at Incarnate Word and North Texas.

Especially operating under the rule sets Eric Morris has been operating under with the resources at his disposal. 

Unless something crazy happens, he is going to get three seasons. You might as well enjoy the ride. 

A bowl victory this year followed by an 8 or 9 win season and Morris is suddenly looking pretty good. 

You guys are turning off the movie before finding out if the good guy wins.

The 7 years is referring to Seth Littrell.  Coaches at North Texas aren’t at a disadvantage compared to most of our conference foes.  We constantly have low expectations and excuses for coaches coming here.  This team won’t win 8 games next year.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.
