You don't lose your job to injury. I, really, don't see why this is so shocking to everyone.

Remember when Scott Hall first showed up on campus and got in on a few series against Baylor?...his first possession he takes the team straight down the field and puts 6 on the board. It still took DD several games to turn the reigns over to him. I don't see why this is a problem for everyone here....the season is over, why throw Meager to the bench permanently when you've devoted so much time to his development all year. I, personally, see some promise in Meager--his sideline demeanor and leadership could use a boost, but from what I've seen, he looks like the most gifted athlete we've had at QB in DD's tenure.

I also, don't see how anyone can say that "DD doesn't care"....good grief, how do you know that? I think his style of game is very uninspiring to watch and requires more buy-in from the players to physically execute than many of the offenses run now in college football....for that reason, I think he'll always face an uphill battle when he's going up against a more talented team. I think his negative public comments could be taken as him not caring, but I think that he probably cares VERY much and just gets frustrated that we're not funded or supported like a BCS school. This is all conjecture, though, as I have zero idea of what goes on in his mind...

Further proof that the coaching staff does care is RF's half-time incident at the last home game. Do you honestly think that a coach, who didn't care, would get emotional over a fan's comment and snap?? I don't.

Maybe you shouldn't lost your job to injury, but you sure should lose your job for ineptitude. Besides, I don't really think that it was his job to lose anyway. Dickey has never clearly said that Meager is without a doubt the number one man. He certainly plays him as though he is, but he has continually said that the position is under evaluation.

At 2-7 all positions should be under evaluation, but it's too late now even if you find someone that can spark some positive performance. I would have started Phillips just because he earned it.

      Attendance question

      Never left my seat the whole game from section 208. Any idea what the relative split was for TXSt fans v NT fans? Coming into the game and looking from the top floor of Moody parking lot in the hour or so before I went into the stadium, it appeared TXSt fan outnumbered us 4 or 5 to one, if not more. Clearly there were more of them than us, but did anyone get a shot of the NT side of the field to discern how many of those on that side were in Green. And even with TXSt fans sitting on the West side, was it even near full? We were mostly NT fans in our section but there were quite a few TXSt fans. Then after the game, coming out of the stadium into the concession area on our side it was packed NT. But likely most TXSt on our side stayed for the post game. I am guessing 3:2 or maybe 17K:11K for the whole stadium, but I may be way off. GMG

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      See there people like you are the problem accepting mediocrity. 😉🤣🤣. Well that is what I was told when I was pleasently surprised by a competitive bowl game that our team had the ball in late with a chance to win. And the waxing nostalgic for SL who was 0-5 in bowl games (without his conference leading QB jumping into the transfer portal before those bowl games) was particularly ridiculous.

      Seth Littrell

      Agreed. The comparison at this stage claiming some significant difference is laughable. I don't know what people expected when they fired Seth a season too late. When a sports franchise is in a 15 year trend of mediocrity and DOESN'T do anything significantly different than what they've always done, you can't expect significantly better outcomes in the short term. That is my frustration with a lot of the fans. Winning the Servpro Bowl game by a late field goal wouldn't change the trajectory of this program. So why react like losing by not getting in position to kick a winning FG would? Similarly spoiling an attempt by the 2021 UTSA team to go undefeated in the regular season meant nothing. Yet many defended keep SL on board for a lame duck season. The only real difference between SL and Morris so far is that it appears that Morris has a better eye for QB talent and is better at unlocking it. Imagine if Morris got a hold of Jason Bean here. Absolutely no reason to be bring up SL like some kind of standard here when he lost all biggest games. Good man, very professional and smart but a mediocre coach. MOST FBS coaches are mediocre (around the median or average performance level) or below.

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      Morris said. "I think you saw the athleticism, the accuracy, the decision-making. I wouldn't be surprised if in 15 years, Drew Mestemaker's playing football still." The way things are heading, he could also simply be alluding to new NCAA rule changes that will allow players to remain in eligible forever.

      True Freshmen Receiving Seasons - Coleman, Sides, Young

      Every transfer was once a HS recruit at their first school. It seems to me like most transfers are guys who did not succeed at their first stop and transfered seeking playing time. Does that seem consistent with your observations? I'm wondering if getting good HS recruits AND giving them early playing time is the right formula to getting those guys to stay an extra year or two and ultimately building up a good roster for a special run.
