  1. It is a weaker OOC schedule for UNT. WKU and UAB also have fairly weak OOC schedules.
  2. Universities have traditions, its what separates them from other institutions... more and more this institution seems to be run as if its just another community college in the Dallas suburbs.
  3. more Q1 games and Q1 wins should be the goal, being in the AAC will certainly help
  4. I dont think his job hinges on winning a bowl game, because the end of December is to late to start a coaching search. I dont think its in Littrell's hands anymore, I think it depends on what other potential coaches become available.
  5. Hes not great but he's not terrible either, I think he coaches above the abilities of his players... but who is the alternative? what direction is the university really willing to go in hiring a new coach?
  6. It was pointed out to me yesterday during the game that the play calling seems to be above the abilities of the players. The line couldn't get the run game going, most of the receivers struggled to find seems, and the QB play was sloppy.
  7. Parking needs to be better, pay where you park with cash or card, that way if I decide to bring friends then they can tailgate next to me. The alumni pavilion needs to be better, better food and drinks add some TVs, and lets not take 30 min to check people in.
  8. I thought I remember one game on ESPNU last year (might have been the year before). Personally I like ESPN+ decent quality and easy to manage, and a lot of sports bars now have it. With CBSSN and Stadium I never know if I can get it through my cable provider, and trying to find those channels at a sports bar is not always easy.
  9. I think it depends on the program, the big programs always have good players lined up want to play.
  10. How many coaches out there have actually won a G5 championship over the last 10 years? what would it cost to bring one to UNT, knowing you would probably have to lure one here?
  11. school payed $2 million to get to the post season 5/6 years. if you want to win a championship then find a more expensive coach that can do that.
  12. and how many of those programs are happy with their coach year over year??? the next coach is not always better. $2 million and a bowl game 5 out of 6 seasons, there are plenty of schools at the bottom that would take that deal, even if they loose the bowl games.
  13. if I am so wrong, then who are these established coaches that are lined up to take SL's job for less money? The only ways the next coach is cheaper is either going to with a first time D1 head coach on a "prove your worth deal" or is going to be a coach that failed elsewhere and is trying to resurrect his career.
  14. Not a lot of established coaches are lined up to coach at UNT. So in order to lure an established coach here they will have to pay above market price.
  15. UNT is not in the same boat as other programs, there are not unlimited resources to offer coaches, as well as recruits. and how often does it work for other programs, even the big ones?
  16. UNT is not a football power program, those programs always have talented recruits lined up. Sure if they bring in a big name coach, more players might stick around. However there is no indication that will happen, and players want a sure thing I am sure many are already looking around for next season.
  17. The bottom of the conference is weak, so for CUSA to have a multi bid March the top schools will have to get some positive OOC results.
  18. If the coach is out, then you have to believe the rest of the staff is going to start looking for a new program, and players will enter the portal. It will mean a long term rebuild.
  19. I dont think its a question of wins, I believe it depends on if there is a better coaching option available. Would only winning 4-5 games warrant the AD sending this program into a complete rebuild with a new coach, especially heading into a new conference?
  20. If they are going to make a coaching change then they need to be interviewing coaches now, players are already entering the portal, and UNT needs to take full advantage of recruiting. Personally I do not see a realistic better coaching option out there at this time, and I do not think the school is in a position to wait until spring to see who becomes available.
  21. would he still be eligible for the season?
  22. what makes the Super Pit outdated? I have always like the design, its simple, easy to get in and out of, and not a bad seat in the arena. Its also steps away from many of the dorms.
  23. This is why when it comes to joining the AAC I am way more excited about basketball. I just hope we can get a decent OOC home schedule next year.
  24. Next season with AAC teams visiting the Super PIt, I think 5500 might be possible.
  25. We can not assume that the next coach will be any better, until we hear the AD come out and state that the university will seek out and hire an established coach that can improve the program.
