I would guess his chance as HC for UNT just dropped from about 50% to less than 5% on this game...I don't see DeLo returning next year in any case.

The Sun Belt is not harder this year than it has been in the past. I believe there is ONE team with a winning record coming into today's games and that team got absolutely hammered today. I do n

It seems like the offense was pressing. Outside of Jeremy Phillips, the defense didn't seem to do much of anything. I saw someone over in the chat badmouthing Riley. I think he did as well as anyone could have today. It was like the offense needed to score a touchdown every drive.

Basing the HC job on a close win or close loss isn't smart. I don't think the actual win/lose of this game will matter.

Unless he was coaching defense, I don't see it as a big deal for Canales, except for one thing: wins and losses are the record that matters for head coaches, interim or not.

Still, if George O'Leary could go 0-3 as interim at Georgia Tech, then go on to turn things around there, and take UCF to a very good record, I think he should still be in the running. I can only think of good things to say about O'leary for what he did on the field, by the way.

Our offense was horrible in the 2nd half. ULM did a good job game planning us.

We ended the game with 37 points on the board.

Dunbar had 3 yards in the 2nd half?

Dunbar was injured in the 1st qtr of the game and played the rest of the game at about 60%. The injury bug bit us again.

If you look logically, expecting Canales to win with this team is too much to ask. However, the loss probably put him out of contention. I do think Canales has done great under the circumstances, and will have little problem getting a job whether at oc or hc at a lower division or tier fb school.

The 83 yard touchdown run was AFTER the injury. Seems that Dunbar was in pretty good shape at that point.

I have to agree wit the title of this thread. While I have really liked what Canales has done with this team, he was already a long shot and needed every win possible to help him. Whether or not it really should matter, today's loss hurt his chances.

I was here at the game and ULM's offensive line was bigger and much faster than our defensive front. Their guards were very quick and got to the corner to open up holes for their feature back. Yes, I know that is part of the game and all. Just pointing it out. We need some size on our defensive front, which has been pointed out many times here. RV's decision just got tougher, and this will define his career here more than anything except for the stadium.

That's the sad truth of this game and the outcome. Monroe has as good or better talent and much of it comes out of our own backyard in DFW. This has to change.

Soooo, Wednesday we start a thread that Canales should not be based on this season's record against SBC schools, now we start one saying it should? Hey the Belt has gotten stronger. It will be hard for us to win EVERY conference game for a while. Chico's evaluation should be based on many things, not just this outcome.

It's sad anyone considered the past 4 games as a tryout. It was in no way fair to Canales for that to be the case. His coaching career should be his selling point. Not interim status at NT. I just hope people stop blindly following him because he won a couple of games. There could be some really great candidates out there but people would emotionally jump on the Canales bandwagon. All coaches lose. Hopefully this will be over soon and we can focus on the future. I still think we need clean slate.

I do not believe that our next head coach is currently on staff nor do I believe that the University paid 40k for a firm to name a current coach. But who knows.

I wasn't impressed by Riley all that much today. Several times I saw our players beat the coverage and Riley didn't give it to them... even when Riley had time. I believe it was because he simply can't get it to them that far. Riley knows his limitations.

I look forward to seeing who gets the starting role next season. Riley will have a good shot. But, I think it will go to someone else.

While listening to the game, I heard George call out a Texas town almost every time he referenced a La-Mo player's home town. Sort of left me wondering if they have any players on their roster that aren't from Texas.

Chances are gone thx to Dodge's and Deloach's lack defensive recruiting and failures inthe 4Q

Not sure that we can blame the defensive recruiting. We had the second rated run defense in the conference prior to today and see what ULM did to them. DeLoache can cast blame for our recruiting but our defensive players were higher rated recruits than ULM. Could it possibly be the coaching?

So you think the coaching staff did a good job with adjustments then?

So what happened to Byrd - he only had 4 carries...he has done well running the ball so if Dunbar was limited, which they said on the radio broadcast he was, I couldn't figure out why we weren't giving Byrd the ball more.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
