Hey nobody can fire an owner but as much as I dislike Jerry's leadership it is nowhere near as bad as Caponi is a DC so far. Hell I would bring in Jerry to be DC. He might be every bit as bad as Caponi but the carnival aspect of having an 0 experienced celebrity as DC would sell a few tickets. 🤣

And 56% completion percentage and below 0.500 versus FBS level competition. Real world beater right there.

If pass dominant Temple team had their starting QB for our game how much worse could the defensive stats be? I posted this so everyone in doubt knows that we’re aren’t exaggerating how bad the DC is out of frustration of losing these close games. NCAA’s official stats page only goes to 130. We are ranked 125 in total defense. I really think if this continues the DC should do everyone a favor and “resign” and take only 1/3 of the money owed him for 2024.

k Looks very similar to Aune stats in some of his gamas and those games were not against top ten ranked OU with a great Defense Coach as their head coach. 🤷🏽‍♂️. Seth finally pivoted to run heavy game plans. I wonder what Bean's home run threat legs would have done for the read option looks they predominantly ran out of? Anyone that watched those games knows that the 3 headed running back monster perserved Seth's job for an extra season.

I don't think anyone on this board expected our team to be in the running for the AAC Championship game. But we did expect to get to the last 2 games of the regular season with an opportunity to get to 0.500 and bowl eligibility. With this loss we will be lucky to get to 5-7.

If you are thinking like that win a defense that has 9 or more starters out of 11 available in that situation it screams that you don't have a DC you believe in. The moment you think like that and you aren't facing a team that routinely scores 35+ on GOOD P5 teams your next thought is when should I announce the DC is fired or that we are bringing in a high profile defensive "consultant". (Really just an excuse to hire the new DC in waiting letting him try out for the job) So you go to OT in the bleed the clock scenario. YOUR DEFENSE STILL HAS TO MAKE A STOP IN OT TO WIN! 🤦🏽‍♂️. So if they can't keep a team out the endzone with 75 yards to go and 50 seconds what is the defense going to do on their own 25 without any clock to aid them?

I upvoted this and you are correct. However, for a job of this magnitude and what this program needs to do he doesn't have the FBS head coaching experience necessary for this difficult job. If this was 7 years ago when Seth was hired that is a different story in a weaker conference. At the end of 2022, nobody on this board was ready to take a step back to make a step forward as a program. We also aren't that demanding; we would have been content with a 4-4 record today understanding the coach is new. We would then be looking at losing our next 2 games versus UTSA and SMU. That would set us up to have bowl eligibility on the line for the last 2 games. And those games are winnable. I and many others believe there were better Head Coaches and Defensive Coordinators available especially if you pull the trigger on Seth last season earlier.

45 points and they scored whenever they needed to. I think their "plays" were due in part to their offense getting complacent with a big lead. I do credit the effort of the players but there was nothing special about what they did. Memphis didn't run enough in the second half. I said earlier that they should not have 25 pass attempts or more if they managed the game correctly. They had 4 attempts on that last drive to get them to 28 attempts.

If you can't count on defense to stop the offense short of the endzone starting from their own 25 with less than a minute left you don't have a defense. You have a scrimmage partner for your opponent's offense. Because when they need a play they will get their best player one vs one in the middle of the field with a chance to make a play. 🤷🏽‍♂️. I shouldn't be a question whether the DC is fired or not come the end of the season without drastic improvement. If anything you might want to bring in his replacement next week and have him audition on the job as the "assistant" DC. Maybe another 3-3-5 guy and if nothing works scrap the scheme and staff at the end of the season.

So there goes a play where he would have justified throwing it away that turned into a TD. 🤷🏽‍♂️.

It is a catch 22, they aren't in this game for the fumble to matter if he doesn't push the envelope to make plays. Especially when they just now started running ball to keep them honest. 🤷🏽‍♂️

OL just got whipped on that play.

And for once and for all I wish we could put to bed this notion that some how given our terrible past is an excuse for what is going on today. Too many programs spending less than us and in a shorter time span have gotten much better results than us. Oh and Bean the guy Aune/Littrell kept on the bench beat started for the team OU today. On the bright side it looks like they have some life in them today. At least I can root for a spread cover.

We have a good Air Raid OC as head coach learning on the job. Not great just good. He is only a better evaluator of QB talent thus far in comparison to Littrell in my opinion. That isn't a criticism of him it is a critic of the hiring philosophy. Just once I would like to see them hire one of best available DC in the country as head coach. We get talented players here just not great coaching. But we are paying great salaries. 🤷🏽‍♂️

We are better than the very worst of FBS and paying the staff here way better than that with nice facilities everywhere. The level up in all things UNT from the early 90s till today has been great but winning in football has lagged far behind. Now look at basketball winning the NIT with Superpit falling down around them. 🤷🏽‍♂️

We were FCS/I-AA until 1995. So being a bad FCS with seats all over the stadium under $30 and nothing sweet about our suites is not a fair comparison. We are bad considering what has been invested. What you are talking about isn't just bad it about not even really having a program that deserved to play FBS level games at home.

Watch it sir you kind of sound like me. A rain soaked cold miserable day for a on the road UTSA team used to a dome game set this up. Meanwhile Jason Bean keeping a Kansas team in the game with an OU eyeing a playoff birth. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This isn’t horseshoes and it took a successful surprise onside kick to get that close.

On runs, they rarely look like they are in the position to tackle the runner within 3-5 yards of the line of scrimmage.

Are rush defense is worse than bad, no word sufficient.

Memphis should not attempt 25 passes this game if they manage it correctly.

Not afraid of it, but sitting in row 5 section 105 they just don’t look good. Not sure they look all that better on TV. As for other schools I don’t really care, their colors aren’t green and white.

Pretty sure it was just a mock up that wasn’t produced by anyone on UNT staff.

Guy posted receipts supporting his opinion and y’all downvote and roll eyes. I think if people removed positive bias for all things UNT I think most would agree at best it was a good idea but poorly executed. I would have rather they put that chesty eagle logo on the field and went with an interlocking NT on the helmets. And changed it up for the last time they used it with green helmets, white NT letters and stripe down the middle. I am not a stickler for tradition but this tricking up the uniforms needs to be executed better and that is the bottom line. There are too many great old school uniforms and helmets to roll out a tricked up bad combo. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Just look at all the existing historical designs they could have selected for the helmets. Seems kind of anti-KISS not just not to tweak one the best 3 options in our helmet history 1. SOW 2. Flying Worm 3. Interlocking NT And if they really want to turn up the NT
