It is glaringly clear that change is needed. So what will the administration do? Will they do what needs to be done? Or continue to say 1 game above .500 and a bowl game is enough, while hemorrhaging fans and interest?

I also don't get why people fear that there will be a mass exodus of players if we fire SL. Some? Yes I can see that, but with the right hire I would hope the majority of players would be excited for the future.

Get someone like Gary Patterson and that momentum swings the other way. Excitement returns to the program. The path is there, it's up to the UNT administration to make it happen.

Nope cause I am listening to the post game and I haven’t heard about his resignation or dismissal. They craft a situation where a 3 win season in the AAC win end this mercifully for Seth, his family/friends, coaching staff and nobody else. Mercy for fans and alumni would have been after the lost to Miami Ohio.
If SL is back next year for the first time since being a student, I don't know if I can support this program next year.

I've kept quiet this week because even though I've been advocating that SL be let go I wanted to let the chips fall where they may and let the game play out. Like I said in various threads, this CCG run is the same as the run to get bowl eligible last year. Now will we be fooled by the same thing again or does can everyone finally get on the same page and see this staff for what it is?

I'm concerned about the hire from within mentality. This is an opportunity to take the situation to a higher level. Get someone from a smaller program that has done amazing things. I'm thinking like Coastal or MadDog (JMU). Then let them make similar moves on FB HC.
Agree, a real search needs to be done to make sure we get the best candidate. Not saying Mosely wouldn't be a great hire, but you need to do your due diligence. I'd take a look at the App. State AD, Doug Gillin. He's been there for 8 years and knows how to build a program up, his base salary is $470k.

If we’re going to have a rebuilding year, this makes it all the more important for 2023 to be that year.
Winning the AAC in 2024 and 2025 could very well make us one of the highest ranked conference champions and get a spot in the playoff.
I fully support Wren and wish him the best…but what unfortunate timing for him to exit and leave the head football coach decision in limbo…
I've been saying it since we announced our move to the AAC. The expanded playoff is a real chance for G5s to make a name for themselves. I'd guess that in a decade there will be "mid-major" type teams like in basketball, Gonzaga/Villanova types that are respected outside of the traditional powers. UNT needs to strive to be one of those teams.

I think fans would still go to neutral site games. It's just on-campus would be such a better experience and TV product. I'm not looking at this based on what might give UNT a better chance to win, but what would make the best playoff. Who wouldn't want to see Alabama play Michigan at the Big House in the snow?
And there's zero chance UNT would ever have more fans than a P5. If we got lucky enough to play in the Cotton Bowl we could make it a neutral field, but any other location would be a de facto home game for the P5.
The bolded part is something I would really like to see.

Obviously it's a good thing to give more teams a chance to win, but I do kinda feel sad as the Bowl tradition becomes more and more irrelevant.
I'm sure they will try to accommodate them by having a Pac12 team be in it when possible, but with the expanding playoff I just don't see how it would be possible to keep the old traditions. Maybe if they cut out the G5 entirely and basically moved us down to Div II, you could have an 8 team playoff and their 5 champions can keep their traditional bowl tie ins.
I think we have to look at it as a new era and the things that worked before don't anymore. I think we all would pick the expanded playoff over what we've had, even if we are sad to see those traditions go away.

I didn't know Bernardo Rodriquez was 5'10. It makes that 1 handed grab even more impressive.

only caught the 2nd half, but the team looked very sloppy, 16 turn overs 😱 and 38% on free throws has to improve.
I can only hope that it is tired legs from 3 games back to back. I had hoped our increased rotation would keep people fresh.

Hurts because as poorly as we looked on offense, we still had a chance at the end. Tough to swallow but 2 wins in 3 days is still a silver lining when we haven't had a whole time to gel in between injuries and the flu. Thankfully no one looked to be seriously hurt by that floor. Still glad we get tournament opportunities like this. On to the next.
So Jones was alright?

Sounds weird, but part of me looks at all that movement on the outside. It's almost like our G play was over-working on the outside, and not looking for Abou like maybe they should have?
I feel like they weren't going inside because they played tough defense and because Abu was not doing well in the matchup. His hook shot and inside pivot game look nothing like last year. I don't know if the passing was a plan to open lanes up, but it wasn't throwing their defense off at all.

I've been saying it for a while, Ousmane has not been himself. He was a giant hole in our game today. FTs are so critical, we need to shoot better from the line. That alone would have kept us in the game. Too many mental mistakes and just unaware of what to do when having the ball.
Most of all I feel for Rubin, he just can't catch a break. I really hope it's nothing serious.

Link has been working all game for me. Again adblock and popup blocker guys, it will keep those popups from coming up.

Need to clean things up in the 2nd half.l Too many dumb mistakes and missing easy shots. What was the T for? I didn't see Scott do anything and they never showed a replay. Perry fouling a 3 is so out of character, just like his FTs. We just need to play within ourselves and we can grind this one out.

Possibly here, I can hear audio so I'm assuming it's the teams warming up and the broadcast isn't on yet.

Of course I would like for UNT to grow into a good football program who consistently competes and wins at a high level. Beating SMU is a must. But how does messaging about all these negative things you mention accomplish anything? Support the team, go to the games, stay to the end or don’t.
No one is saying we don't support the team, on the contrary we want the best for our athletes. You're mixing up criticism with derision. Believe it or not, I'm rooting for the team to win the championship because I want them to be successful. Just because we are unhappy doesn't mean we hate this team. Keeping quiet and not demanding for more has led to decades of poor choices. Football staffs get paid to do a job, we give our time and money to support this team so we absolutely have a right to voice our opinions.
So let me ask you, are the criticisms in my post above warranted? Has this staff performed well in both this year and the last 7 as a whole?

I don’t understand why there are so many salty folks on this forum, unless they’re the ones putting up the money for Seth or other athletic things.
support the kidsSo you're ok with getting stomped 48-10 by SMU , 58-27 by UNLV who ended 5-7, 44-34 by Memphis? We were embarrassed 41-21 by UAB going scoreless in 3 quarters. The only quality win for the whole season was WKU, they played a great game. People are letting the championship blind them to a lot of valid criticism on how the team has performed this year.
I give the team full credit for the wins it has, they play who is put in front of them. However it is clear from OOC play that our conference is poor, why is wanting better than mediocrity considered bitching?

I wish our bench could score. Concerns me. That was our weakness last yr
I feel like our bench is night and day from last year. Martinez has had some good numbers, he's just been quiet the last couple of games. Jones is still getting back into rhythm and testing his knee so I know he will come through. Stone, Sissoko, and Moore can chip a few in and we are looking good. The only thing I'm actually worried about is the FT shooting. We can take a lot of pressure off if we can hit our FT early.

How Much is Seth’s Buyout Now?

People were saying with WB leaving it cuts the buyout in half.
