Oh I understand for sure. we beat them.

Hopefully it’s a Homefield Apparel drop. Their shirts are awesome.

Their average rating on 247 is 84.42. Ours is 83.69. doesn’t seem like they’re exactly working miracles, they’ve just taken more commits.

I remember Brian Johnson from his time at Florida. Well thought of initially but that offense turned out to be awful.

That’s one way to call your shot lol

It seems aggressive to say we lost because of him, but there is no doubt we’re a consistent QB away from being a very good team.

Gotta be uniform related. Friday at 6PM would be such a weird time to announce anything else.

That bar is insanity lmao

Teams that are definitely better than us, but all of them beatable if we run the way we did yesterday. I’m very excited to see what happens.

Great post. I’m done with the handwringing over the coaching situation. What will be will be. Let’s go win every damn game left.

Very weak “report” Thought something of substance was coming.

Eager to read the report today. . My guess is Littrell has started to ask for assurances about his job stability and Wren has been noncommittal.

I think the comparison is that they both should have jumped to bigger jobs when they had the chance instead of sticking around to watch things stagnate.

Brett has been fairly complimentary of Littrell on Twitter recently. Not that I’ve necessarily disagreed with anything he’s said, I do figure that is probably an intentional stance based on some sourced information he is getting. Mainly I’m interested to know if Brett’s sources in the athletic administration are telling him “defend this guy, we think he’s doing a good job and want him to stick around.” I’m not sure there’s a magic number of wins - but I can’t imagine they can justify extending Littrell with a losing season. And it’s almost impossible to believe they would be narrow minded enough to think we can go into the AAC with a lame duck coach. They have to either back him fully with an extension or fire him.

@Brett Vito I’d love to get your perspective on this - I don’t know if you answer questions on here. Do you think 6 wins means Littrell is guaranteed to return?

If I gave you two options, which one do you think is most important for the next hire? You can’t say both. 1) proven winning head coach (at any level) or 2) young and energetic

It really is about the QB. That same Tennessee offense looked awful with Joe Milton at QB last year.

Ryan Walters is over our head at this point and likely going to wait for a P5 gig. Starting to come around on the idea of Joe Gillespie as HC and keeping Bloesch as OC. The offense has looked good and they worked together for years at Tulsa. A reconfiguration of the offensive and defensive staffs would be nice, namely adding a full time QB coach.

Yeah, and Heupel and Golesh picked it up from Jeff Lebby at UCF from his time at Baylor.

It’s essentially the old Art Briles offense, right?

I know it’s unpopular here, but I agree with you about Littrell. He has certainly raised the bar on a program that was considered a laughing stock nationally. He’s a victim of his own success. To be frank, a lot of this is politics. If you lose the fanbase, you feel the heat. And I think he should be on the hot seat because the last three years haven’t met the standard he set in the first three. I’ve said it before, but there is some merit to the idea stability should be the most important factor when considering how to best hit the ground running in the AAC. But at the end of the day, it’s about putting butts in seats and creating fan support that bleeds into recruiting. Littrell has not done enough of that, and my bet is he’s gone at the end of the year.

Need to update the color but I’ve always loved this logo

Watch this space. Have heard from a media connection buddy that Wren wants out. Might not be GT but he’s had a lot of interviews over the past year.

This varies so much and I think my answer would change if asked again in a year. The bottom line is prior to Littrell’s arrival, the football program was a bottom dweller and one of the forgotten programs of college football. He has raised the expectation along with deft fundraising by Wren Baker. Given how much funding we put into the program now, we should be competing for conference titles each year in CUSA. However, unless we continue to put more money in, that same measure does not apply to the AAC when we arrive next season. I think we will be in for a major culture shock and the adjustment process might be severe. For that reason I would say my expectations of a “successful” season would likely be to reach a bowl game (and hopefully win it depending on matchup). Our main issue is perception. Recruits don’t know how much money we put into the program. Recruits don’t see how much we’ve committed to our football staff. They still see us as a bottom dweller and a school to pick if other Texas schools don’t call. That’s the thing that needs to change - and I don’t think Littrell has done enough in that regard, even though we won 9 games two years in a row. We need a hype man like McCasland or Joey McGuire at TTU. To answer the question directly: there’s no reason we shouldn’t expect to compete for conference titles in CUSA. Next year I think expectations change and we may spend 2-4 years acknowledging a bowl win as “successful”.

Interestingly enough in the post game pictures he is in full pads.
