Refreshing honesty…that pretty much backs up those saying that coaching was the problem.
Looks like they are acknowledging and addressing some of the issues. We will see how they deal with the defense over the bye week, which will be the most important adjustment.
If you check the recent offers, looks like they are prioritizing DL size from the JUCO ranks - a clear sign they don’t think it sufficiently exists on the current roster and immediate contributors needed.-

Looks like the staff is really looking to upgrade the size on the DL. Should have done that last offseason…

I do agree that it is a private board and that the owners are free to run it however they choose to do so. However, I also don’t believe that it is unreasonable for members to have clarity regarding rules and expectations around their participation. Nobody enjoys having their posts removed and I’m sure they would like to know what specifically to avoid in the future.
Do the owners owe users anything? I suppose not, but at the end of the day the users creating content are what makes this site valuable. While yes, this site is much better put together than others (not including the atrocious ads on mobile), it doesn’t matter if there’s nobody here to create content.
You are almost getting it. This site, like Twitter, isn’t “free” just because we don’t have to pay to subscribe. Pretty sure those ads we are bombarded with are paying the rent. Clicks/engagement increases ad revenue for a site. I am of course speaking generally here with no insight into GMG’s finances but rarely is a site totally free. No idea what this site or the ads are collecting on us.

You are.Notice that a certain head coach appeared on a certain podcast and then the criticism gets blunted on here.

The color guy was fine but the main guy was absolutely terrible. He talked about bullshit constantly. He even talked over touchdown plays.

It actually would have been a long gainer had the exchange been better. Instead of Adaway handing off the football he flipped in the air to the guy coming at him and it bounced off his chest. Hard to judge speed of a ball flipped at you opposite direction of 5 feet...just hold it out and hand it off and all would have been good.
And if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.
The play was absolutely unnecessary given how successful we were playing it straight up. Not only was it an unneeded risk (that failed miserably and was a big momentum and point swing) but it showed future opponents the play. Just a terrible call and a sign of overconfidence from a staff that has no right to it.

Whenever somebody digs a long-dead thread out of its grave I check to see if I praised Todd Dodge in it.
Portland State beat a team called the North American Stallions 91-0 yesterday.

Earle has a more accurate deep ball. Rogers is better short and intermediate. Also has better pocket presence.
Exactly. And a smart runner too.

It was such a bad call. If you had to point to one play that led to almost losing the game, it was that shit call.

While the other quarterback did not play Bad I believe tonight is an example of how living without Frank as a QB is another reason this will be Jeff T's last year in San Antonio
His stats looked good but I think the running element of Harris might be the big difference.

Turn that frown upside down. Eric Morris just needs four straight wins to have the best winning percentage ever at UNT.

But we are consistently bad so maybe FCS and startup programs are actually our appropriate level of competition and we should include them?

my point was that unless we get help on defense, it don't matter who the qb is
And my point was that it does. In fact, qb play might become more important because of the terrible defense since there is less margin for error from the offense. Baltimore won a Super Bowl with a so-so qb because the defense was dominant. If your defense is average you need good qb play. If your defense is weak your qb better be outstanding to win.
Don’t get me wrong, I prefer our defense make massive strides immediately but I see few signs that will happen. I did see Earle give up three TOs and a TD and Rogers have a much stronger showing. If he can consistently replicate that, we might win a couple games with this awful defense. That’s my point. It is foolish to dismiss the weak start the offense had just because the defense was so bad.-

Might as well come out with a 12 man line. Really see the shock on their faces.
Hell, we would probably give up less yards just taking the penalty
Can we score a TD first and then commit penalties indefinitely? Is there a foul they can’t decline and we just let them end up 1st and goal until the clock runs out with a 7-0 victory??

I have a hard time seeing a win here. We need Rogers to protect the ball and the running game to be effective.
Obviously the defense has to be better but that depends on the DC making some adjustments. I am not confident about that so I have to go with a loss.-

How much does the Athletic Department gross yearly from the student athletic fees?
Does anyone have any idea?
49,000 isn’t chump change.
Almost the entire AD budget

I don't expect wholesale changes during the season. They may tweak some things here and there but I highly doubt a scheme change.
I assume even a 3-3-5 defense has packages that puts an extra defender in the box that makes it look/act more like a 7 man front. Maybe we can lean on those packages until things stabilize. Of course any reaction in one area will impact another area so we will likely be choosing between 'in the stomach or in the face'.
I suspect Morris will try to adjust the same as Littrell did and start emphasizing the run game in order to slow things down to try and limit the time his defense stays on the field. Let's hope that adjustments are made quickly because this defense is headed toward historical ineptness if something doesn't change soon.
Maybe start Enoch at NT and put Rod at DE. We have a competent NT backup in Moore who reportedly is playing well. This moves Mazin back to LB as an outside pass rusher (quasi fourth lineman).
Honestly I don’t know the answer but a 240lb DE in this system isn’t working and our LBs are on the small side. This would improve both problems.-

so you think the offense is just as bad as the defense?
How exactly did you infer that from my post? You know that two things can be true at once, right?
1. our defense blows goats
2. a qb change was needed after the last game
Both true, not mutually exclusive. Either defense or qb was better last game, even just in one drive, and we likely win.

It would be great if a bunch of fans bought them and wore them to games. Would definitely catch the TV camera’s attention. Might also shame the AD into upgrading Scrappy.
