    Put RV in charge....first dumb move.

    When the donors that were responsible for an overwhelming amount of that collective's seed money want him to run it, then he runs it.   It's their money, they can choose who they want to oversee it.   

    He wasn't appointed by anyone at UNT.   The school is not able to be a part of it.   

    It is what it is.

  7. Coulda-Woulda...Shoulda?

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted · Edited by MeanGreenTexan

    Any of the guys in this thread want to revisit their takes?


    Barry Odom did indeed find a good OC, as yours-truly indicated he would need to (a fantastic young offensive mind: Brennan Marion), and took a 5-7 UNLV team to 9-4 (including a MWC Championship appearance)... in just one year!   

    That's crazy how he could do something like that!  I mean, if you listen to folks around here, regressing from 6-6 to 5-7 is reasonable, and "nothing to be ashamed of"!!!1!!1!!!

    Meanwhile, Coach Odom is actually WINNING.

    Missed opportunity.  Bring on the downvotes!

  8. Bloesch promoted to Cal's OC

    https://calbears.com/news/2023/12/3/football-bloesch-elevated-to-offensive-coordinator-o-line-coach

    Baylor hired Spavital a few days ago, so Cal stays in-house.   
    This was a no-brainer move for Cal (who's doing it the right way, promoting him to OC/O-Line... not OC/QBs), and I hope they do well.  Bloesch is a really good OC.   Hope they find a designated QBs coach to replace Spav though, otherwise if their QBs have any technical/mechanical issues, they're screwed.

    Cole Johnson is also still there as an Offensive GA as well.

  11. Playoff bracket predictions?

    But if FSU loses by double digits, I don't want to read any commentary that they were unmotivated. They have their shot to prove the committee wrong. UCF took advantage by beating Auburn by 7. It's up to FSU to do the same.

    Oh yes.  There'll be plenty of "See! Told-ya-so!"s to go around if they get their doors blown off by Georgia (which they likely will).

    Sure a QB.  Then they lost their backup yet still beat a ranked team with a 3rd stringer.  If anything that enhances their case as a worthy team to me.

     

    The backup (Rodemaker) will be back by their Bowl, so using the Louisville game, where he didn't play, as the data point on which to deny them a Rose/Sugar Bowl spot is a bit of a shell game.  Give Rodemaker a month to prepare, plus that defense, and I feel they could hang with whoever.  

     

    But apparently Jordan Travis should be the runaway Heisman winner given he was he sole reason FSU was any good this year.

    I'd say FSU has every right to claim a "National Championship" like UCF does, if they happen to beat Georgia (the reigning champs, and likely a better team than at least both FSU & Texas) in the Orange Bowl.

  13. Breaking: Seth Littrell Lands at OU

    the way it usually works is the salary offsets the buyout. so whatever he was getting as an analyst would count as well. He could be getting 100K and that would simply reduce the amount of the buyout is all. The co-oc thing is just prestige and role. 

    It's kind of like getting "asst head coach" -- which is just prestige and reason to give a guy a bigger salary. 

    OU/ the state of oklahoma is his home so I imagine he will try to stay on for as long as he can there. If Oklahoma impresses with him as the head guy (like Lebby) and he gets offered some ridiculous salary with a real shot to win, I imagine he takes it. 

    Selfishly, I really hope he sticks at OU as OC as long as possible, and doesn't get another HC gig anytime soon.  It's a good job, especially for him, as an alumnus.

    ...because if he does get another HC shot, and he succeeds beyond what he did here, it only furthers NT's reputation as a coaching black hole.

    Maclin has stated that he was close to quitting football when he decided to transfer here.  He is appreciative of what he was able to accomplish and for rediscovering his love of the game.  Outside of that, I hate the portal.  I am thankful I got to watch people like Patrick Cobbs, Johnny Quinn, Booger Kennedy, Cody Spencer, etc. for four or five years here.  Those days are long gone because of this bullshit.

    How do you think we would have done this past season if we didn't pull Rogers out of the portal ourselves?

    It works both ways.

    Maclin was a no brainer if he had his grades in order to graduate.   Looks like he does.   Dude was fun to watch, and I'm glad we got to see him in Green for 2 years.  In an Air Raid, I'm not really worried about losing WRs though.  Hoping Ward stays, and I bet with how Sides came on at the end of the year, he could jump in and get some looks.
    ...Hold onto your butts if Rogers happens to have his grades in order to graduate as well.

    Miner is a tough loss.  He should get an opportunity at one of those Northern ACC schools like BC or Syracuse if he wants it, and he'll be closer to home.

    Losing Adaway, if true, is going to be tough.  Hoping at least 2 of Adeyi, Ragsdale, & Johnson come back.

    And like last offseason, if we happen to lose Rod Brown, we're going to be worse on defense next year, while some other lucky team gets much better.

  21. There’s no shame in going 5-7

    Texas State went 2-2 in non-conference last year, they went 2-2 this year. Last year 2-6 in Sun Belt losing three of those by a combined 10 points, this year 4-4. Last year lost at ULM 31-30 this year beat them 21-20. Last year lost at Troy by 6 this year at home by 18.

    Texas State improved, no argument, but it wasn't a vast improvement.

    They were 7-5 this year.   Your stats total 6 wins.   
    Looks like they went 3-1 in non-conference.   
    https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/326

    Either way, they went from 4 wins last year to 7 this year.   That's almost double, despite struggling down the stretch (including the curbstomping y'all gave them).
    ...Whereas NT stepped backwards when we were supposed to be rid of the problem and primed to improve.

    Yes there is.  There's plenty of "shame".

    NT was preparing for the C-USA Championship game and then a bowl game at this time last year.   We got there in a rocky way, but we got there.   That finish was deemed to be not good enough last year, and changes were made... TO MAKE US BETTER.    NT regressed.   

    TX St. finished last year with 4 wins.  That finish was deemed to be not good enough, and changes were made to make them better.    TX St. improved. Vastly.

    While there are bright spots to look forward to next year (along with plenty to worry about, especially defensively), this season was definitely not a success.
