Bobby Rainey over Lance Dunbar?

:growl:

Dunbar had a rough patch in the middle of the season with FIU and also earlier against Army otherwise he would have been the winner. There was some misuse by Dodge and Company through first 6 games or so.

WTF!?!?!? How is Lance Dunbar not the Sun Belt MVP or Offensive player of the year?!?!? This further proves the Sun Belt is absolute trash!

No this proves that Dodge unfortunately was still running the offense and misused Dunbar much like he misused Jamario when he first arrived.

It looked like Canales called the first two games (Clemson & Rice) without interference. And it looked like the first part of the Army game was his, right up until when D. Thompson went down with the leg injury; and you know who was put in at QB. Dodge definitely had an emphasis on the offense against Army. And I'm not certain if the reigns weren't fully off of Canales until Todd was gone; because things certainly picked up then.

The Haltom Hurricane averaged 5 more yards per carry from the wKYJelly game on.

It shouldn't matter if Lance had a couple of tough games or was misused. It doesn't take a football expert to realize Dunbar is the best player in the Sun Belt (and it's not even close).

If Rainey were a Senior I could MAYBE see their justification since these things always give you a few extra points for being a Senior, but but based on pure production and team conribution, picking Rainey over Lance is absolutely ridiculous. On the other hand, having three out of eleven first teamers on offense is pretty nice when considering our record. Pleasantly surprised that Olen got second team when you consider his very slow start and lack of contribution until late in the season. Nobody can argue about Mr. Robertson's great year.

Considering NT's place in the final standings, NT did better than expected. Yes I do believe that Dunbar should have been the offensive POY if not conference POY, however Rainey also put up some big numbers. Rainey had a higher average yards per game out gaining Dunbar 137.4 to 129.4. However Dunbar averaged almost a yard more per carry at 5.7 to 4.8 and led Rainey slightly in all purpose yards. As noted above, it probably would not have been close other than Dunbar only had 11 carries against FIU and 12 against Army.

Robertson was the leading tackle in the conference and probably should have gotten defensive POY, but those type awards seldom go to players on mediocre teams. Chancellor should led the conference in ko returns but doesn't have the name yet to compete with Jerrigan and Hilton. Olin also is IMO a better kicker than Gendreau kicking 13-15 field goals to his 10-12 and I believe being a better distance kicker. Olien missing two extra points may have been the difference. I also thought NT's defensive tackles deserves recognition but neither showed much via defensive stats.

Special congrats to Gill, not only did he make first team but I don't remember one post this year lamenting his lack of size. Same to Santiago who got off to a slow start because of injury, but came on strong in the end.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.
