Meagers future at UNT clouded

By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle

DENTON – The status of sophomore quarterback Daniel Meager is in doubt after the former Richardson Pearce standout suffered a concussion in a loss to Troy last week.

UNT head coach Darrell Dickey said Meager has had at least three concussions at UNT, including one in two-a-days that kept him out the first two weeks of the season.

Meager was also knocked out of the Mean Green's loss to Florida Atlantic last season with a concussion.

Well, at least that explains why they put WW in the game. My primary concern is Meager's health. I wish him all the best and hope that he has a speedy recovery.

The young man should look into securing his health first. That's way too many concussions in less than a year. It may be in his best interest to give up football. Too many injuries for him, it has to be frustrating.

I give Daniel Meager my very best wishes. 3 concussions is alot. I hope that the doctors help him make the right decision about footbal (I don't know what that decision should be). BTW, I can't imagine how frustrated he is. He appeared to be on his way to a comeback return to the starting QB role after a summer of very hard work. What a strange season this has been.

I hope he hangs it up and takes his health with him.

Or at the very least, I hope he takes the 3rd QB spot and finishes his career at UNT. Get the free education and only play if he REALLY is needed. His future is bright and he needs to keep his health..

I applaud Meager for obviously having thick skin and continuing to work to overcome numerous injuries, but concussions are not to be discounted. His health is much more important at this time. I wish him the best, because he appears to be a fine young man.

I like Daniel, but he and his family need to decide together if it is worth long-ter, negative effects on his health, especially when he has NO Division 1-A offensive lineman to play behind.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.
