Mazin might be one of our best players but because of the scheme he's too often not able to to showcase his ability. It's a damn shame after how good he was last year.
Rod is our best lineman, but especially in this system.

Apparently, I did more than you.
Have you seen the teams SMU has played? Outside of OU, TCU, and Rice their schedule has been a total cakewalk. Those three teams average 31 pts/game against this "elite" defense. And Rice didn't even have JT Daniels in the 2nd half.
The 6 FBS teams SMU has beaten this year have a combined record of 17-38. We will be the best offense they've seen since TCU. Just because they shut down 3 of the worst teams in the conference (Temple, ECU, Tulsa) doesn't mean they're going to do it to us. Our offense is light years ahead of those teams.
And lets not act like we didn't shred UTSA's defense. We put up 456 yds and averaged almost 6 yds/play! The only reason we didn't score 35+ is we had 2 turnovers in the red zone.
And we have only played three good teams yet we are giving up almost 37, so what is your point? The only team we truly contained was the aforementioned Temple. SMUt blanked them, btw, and hung 55 on them. They only gave up 28 to OU in Norman, which is on par with what we gave up against Navy. It’s apples and oranges. And they have six wins and we have three. They beat the teams on the schedule. We lost to FIU and Navy, ffs.
And can’t we stop talking about yards?? Yards without points are meaningless. We only managed 21, 24, 28, and 29 against four of our opponents that don’t have elite defenses with our “elite” offense. 🙄 douchebaging yards… SMUt averages 5 points a game more than our powerful offense at 40 a game, in case your research didn’t catch that.

Kehres is in 4th year. So I am assuming he has the player in postions to fit scheme.
It’s the portal era. Few excuses for not being able to bring in what fits your needs.

Absolutely you've got to get able to fire him. He was their OC for 6 or 7 years. He'll find a job elsewhere.
I don't know much about other coaching situations but I'd guess firing the OC/DC mid-season is what happens when your seat is hot and you need to buy yourself some time. That's obviously not the case with Morris since he just got here but if we lose to SMU and technically fall out of bowl eligibility (minus the 5-7 situations), I'd like to see him move on from Caponi then and there since the fate of the season will have been sealed.
We are 108th in APR. There are no 5-7 situations for us.

If we could just start the game like it was halftime and we were two touchdowns behind, we might be able to beat them. Tell Caponi to pretend that adjustments are needed because what we're doing on defense isn't working.
Same for Morris. Offense is generally pretty terrible in the first half and doesn’t help out our stinky defense.

Matt Caponi Current position Title Defensive Coordinator/CB Coach Team North Texas Biographical details Born Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Playing career 2000–2003 Mount Union Position(s) Safety Coaching career (HC unless noted) 2004 Mount Union (SA) 2005 Mount Union (LB) It's almost like these guys might run the same defense.....
Well then the answer is that it isn’t the defensive scheme but the coaching?

Not sure why some of y’all think SMU is going to shut down our offense. Their defense is solid, but not good enough to hold us to 2-3 scores. I don’t think Preston Stone’s availability will really matter. I expect SMU to pound the rock either way.
SMU- 40North Texas- 27
Did you do any research before posting this? SMUt is an elite defense.
9 games in and SMUt only gives up 26 points a game. For comparison, UTSA gives up 10 more a game at 26, which is about what we scored against them, only thanks to a late TD.
The book is out on us. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Rogers struggles with but - just not as much as our OL or coaching staff does. I only tuned in for a few plays last week but was horrified to see an empty backfield in a situation when it seemed obvious the defense was coming after the qb. Morris is too cute for his own good I guess.-

Neither of them are NFL prospects so they would be foolish to not take the cash if offered.

We aren’t getting to six wins and our APR score is complete garbage so we are not going bowling with 5 wins either

Wow, this so wrong it doesn’t warrant I thoughtful response. But I will try.
1. Morris has faced tougher competition2. He has a complete offense with a QB who completes almost 65% of his passes most of the time in shootouts trailing.
So Morris in a tougher conference has a team with only one glaring issue: Defense. Seth couldn’t fix the defense or QB position for over 3 years. He kept his job an extra year on the “strength” of a fluke rain soaked victory at home that favored the only thing that worked under him consistently; the run game.
I absolutely would not be watching games, going to games or care enough to post here if Seth was still here. Maybe Rogers is successful here and gets the starting job under Seth. But I think Seth talks Aune into staying and if that happens I doubt Rogers is here or on the bench if he is.
Morris has not faced better competition. He had a cupcake OOC schedule and barely made 2-2. There are only four tough teams on the conference slate and while they haven’t been blowouts, the team has looked unprepared with super slow starts and defensive collapses. This offense is far from complete. Complete offenses don’t get shut out for two or three quarters like this one has.

At least we shouldn’t have to worry about anyone stealing our defensive players in the portal! Silver lining!

We have statistically the best offense in the American. 485 yd/game. And it not just passing 180 comes from the ground. This offense has been the most consistent in the league. Because they score in bunches and not on every drive, "they aren't very good". If my expectations were this high, I'd give up watching college football, you're just going to be disappointed every game
Yards are meaningless without points, like the first drive when we passed up points for a low percentage pass to the end zone. I don’t expect them to score every drive but we can’t go silent for entire halves of games. We won’t many games with that kind of inconsistency. In fact, we haven’t won many games - even against cupcakes like FIU and Navy.
I honestly don’t know how to demonstrate this inconsistency better than I did in my original post. A half with no points or three quarters with 10 doesn’t scream dominance to me. -

The offense is very good
I'll judge the head coach after the season if we don't clean house on the defensive side. It's not just coming out flat literally every game or bad schemes or bad fundamentals, it's also shockingly bad situational awareness.
That said if they are able to find even a mediocre defensive staff, we'll be in the hunt for a championship.
We scored 7 in the first half this game and 0 in the first half against Tulane. Zero in the first half against Cal. 10 in the first three quarters versus Navy.
This is not a very good offense. It is an explosive offense that is wildly inconsistent.-

We aren’t able to coach Rogers to get rid of the ball quickly in blitz situations or adjust our offensive play calling knowing that Rogers will hold the ball too long. Ffs.

The play calling is so bad but at least Morris opted for the points this time

Should Matt Caponi Be Fired? My Thoughts on the Situation.

Not true. We can’t be ranked any lower but we can certainly have worse stats by giving up even more points per game (the only stat that really matters).
