I thought maybe La Tech was a winnable game , but I see they've put up 48 on Utah St. Dang there coaches must of made some adjustments. Go Figure!!!

On a brighter note , I thought JaMario looked pretty good 2nite , if only we had Euless Trinity's OL he could of broken 200yds!

The O-line was blowing people off the line in the first quarter...but then stAte made the proper ADJUSTMENTS...and then it was feast or famine. Jamario was cutting and juking like he used to though, best player on the field tonight.

Our coached have no idea what the word "adjustment" means. We play very well I thought in the first half, go into the locker room, and come out in the second half a totally different team. Yea I know ASU made adjustments, but goodness we made none. This coaching staff - time is up.

MOVE ON and get rid of this staff RV.

Agree! I think it was a combo of our players playing very lethargic & the ASU coaches making some changes after the half. But hey , I guess thats been the story for a year and half.

What gets me the most , is in the past 2 seasons , in the very,very weak SBC. I feel that UNT has had the best RB and WR in the whole conference.. yet we cant put up jack crap on anyone in the league. Maybe im bias on JMo & JQ , but Id argue with anyone that these are 2 of the best at their postion in the Sun Belt.

It's a fluke we have either one of them. NT is the worst at squandering talent I have ever seen. If you were a skilled offensive player, would you come here? If so, why?

Jamario Thomas and Johnny Quinn ARE the best at their respective positions, but its really a gol' darn shame that they don't have the supporting cast (its about recruiting quality "every" recruiting season, folks) to be able to prove it in a more grandiose way.

Hopefully, "The Search" has already "unofficially" begun, but at UNT.............God only knows what we can expect with even that.

AND.................what is sad is how many on this forum by mid-week will make their usual 180 degree turn around on all this and go back to justifying all this crapola. sad.gif

Plumm - you think it will take till mid week for the 180 to occur? It will probably start happening by Monday.

That's my concern, Plumm. Honestly, based on your experience, looking at it as objectively as you can, if we DO make a change after the season, what kind of coach do you think this regime will go for, bearing in mind it will be their first football hire? THIS is what troubles me.

Heard we were considering OC @ So. Miss. If true we'll just perpetuate the demise of this program. We need to great real with recruiters who are known in Texas high schools, i.e. Todd Dodge, Major Applewhite. It was sickening to see players from McKinney, Plano, etc. playing for ASU, but until we make a hire who can recruit in TX and decide to fund a D-1 program and not a wannabe, expect the same results.

I hope that we are not considering anyone at this stage. When the job officially opens, we might be surprised at who might want it.

One thing that you are totally right about is there has to be a decision to fund Division IA football. Anything less and we need to drop football altogether.

I feel bad that we have players of this caliber. It is such a waste of good talent. If J-mo and JQ were at Top 25 schools, I'm certain that they would both be drafted in the first 4 rounds to the NFL. I also think that if Cobbs hadn't went down in '04 that he would've been drafted as well.

The '04 to '05 about face was so drastic that it is almost unbelievable.

As I recall, the UNT community was surprised when Hayden Fry showed interest in our head football coaches job back post-1972 football season; especially after the previous season being a 1 win season by Rod Rust's Mean Green team. Fry had to think we had nothing in the area of much talent as the Mean Joe Greene gang were long gone.

I would bet that UTEP (to an extent) was even surprised when Mike Price showed sincere interest in their job, too, since they were hardly a school with a high profile football tradition but rather known for its basketball.

And BTW, didn't we have a "surprise" big name coach apply for our job after Dennis Parker was fired? rolleyes.gif

GrayEagle,

I absolutely agree with you here. NT may be in for a big surprise. We're in a great football location in a football rich state. New athletic center with "plans" for new stadium. Great pitches to potential candidates. This program is yearning for the right person to take it to the next level.

      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.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.

      Underrated win in my opinion. They're 3-4 but have just 1 bad loss. I say bad because I don't know much about Norfolk State. Otherwise UC Davis has the 11th ranked scorer in the country and could make some noise come conference play.

      My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs. In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family. I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.
