I'm surprised Coach Mac would hire a "grad assistant" for our D line. With all the concern he expressed for our defense, and with all the connections I've heard he has all over the US, I was hoping for an assistant at each position with more experience. I may be mistaken, but I think the coach that held this position was an immediate grad assistant.

And having said this, Coach Mac has forgotten more about the subject than I'll even know.

Frye is the O-Line Coach not D-Line

I think this hire has to do with the fact that we just don't have the budget to hire high-profile guys at every position. But, Mac worked with this guy at Florida, and he must have been very impressed to offer him a job.

Not afraid of this hire. The kid has 3 years of BCS level experience and one year under Urban Meyer and crew. Think he will do fine.

I believe our OLine coach had been a grad. assistant prior to coming to UNT and maybe 1yrs experience as OLine coach at JUCO prior to this season. Remember coach Leftwich (sp) UNT's line coach with real experience was hired by Tulsa, where he also coached in the past, 5 days before the season opener against Clemson.

Turns out Leftwich (sp) had been through the coaching marry go round before when he wasn't invited to become Louisville's OLine coach when then Tulsa HC was given job as Louisville's new HC. At that point I believe coach Leftwich (sp) came back to UNT or l yr later if memory serves.

Now Lefty looks like the smartest guy on the old staff (except Canales) by moving on to Tulsa. Maybe Lefty was the only one who had golden parachute, or maybe he started looking earlier than any of the other coaches.

      Attendance question

      Uhhhhh no chance. It was probably like 60/40 or 65/35 Tx State.

      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.
