I'm giving it a hard look and see several programs making aggressive moves to be at the top of the AAC. Meanwhile, our administration just lost its leader, and some leadership still out there wants to try and keep a coach that is barely above 0.500 and has never won a title or a bowl game after 7 years because of marginal improvement within a conference that has been surpassed by the Belt in terms of quality play.

I think @ThatMeanGreensuggested that Wren has been interviewing for several years now to get out of Denton. I wish he (or anyone) could elaborate on that. All I've seen is what people have been complaining about this football season, and the hesitation to pull the trigger with SL.

The guy has been on the rise forever. Hard to find anything negative about him except stuff coming from people that were negatively impacted by his rise. People either fired to make room for him, fired by Wren to make room for his people, or posters on this board that have been waiting for him to fire SL. Overall, the praise by his peers (not just UNT) has been glowing. In a matter of 4 posts, you displayed some isight but also an obvious flag that you don't care for the guy.

Traylor? I suppose its possible, but I find it hard to believe he would accept that after turning down TTech. I think he wants something bigger to leave UTSA.

We can't have a disappearing act from our WRs tomorrow. We must get Shorter and Co some touches.

I am skeptical anyone in the administrative world was taking those people seriously.

Y'all. Someone got hired away from UNT, not fired. This is a good thing. Wish it happened at the FB HC position.

Is BMDS Big Money Donors?

The “announcement” was a couple leaks from reporters with inside sources, right?. Looks like he chose to roll with it and confirm, rather than let it linger.

I'm sure some of them will be like, "I do what I do with or without the AD." It's not a stretch, however, to think some of them call this place their family and are impacted by change in leadership.

Or a motivator... We are going to find out.

Or maybe there is truth to the rumor that the FB hire is made by someone else. But ignore me and fight for your right...to be annnngrrrry.

Adjusted for accuracy. The apathy that permeates across DFW for UNT didn't just wake up to freak out about this loss. No giant panic is going to flood the local news rooms. Would love to see it though!

Make it an Apogee event. Perhaps put RV's face on display, and have the president make the announcement from the middle of the field.

Come on people, we need to be talking more about Mosely.

damn

Let's give Mosely a hard look. Also consider anyone that has ties/experience to the AAC.

Looks like SL and Co won the first annual DCTF True Texan Award for keeping Texas players home. Need anything else?

Makes me believe you have never been to NO, and possibly don't live in Dallas. Perhaps you searched Google images for "show me concrete in Dallas" to make this post?

No one expected us to beat WKU either, but it happened. Look, he's still here and he is our coach for Friday. Maybe he'll get over one more hump. It's a big one, for sure.

I wouldn't expect him to contribute much more than energy/hustle.

He has also now - repeatedly for 2 years - improved his conference record. Even if we were not in the 'ship game because of no divisions, we have won 5 games (2021) and now 6 (2022) instead of just 3 like we did the first two post-Fine seasons. He also clobbered WKU this year, a blow to the "he doesn't beat teams with winning records" point. Of course there is emphasis on body of work. Because if you want SL to fail, you can't be dwelling on any signs of recent improvement. I don't think we will win on Friday. But, if we do, the recent success becomes much harder to blow off.

Somewhere in Middle America

The rise and fall of Dickey was because of an incredible 2 year run of recruiting. I don't know why he never capitalized (on recruiting) on the success that Cody, Booger, and Co gave us, but it's hard not to speculate what he could do here with our resources and....the absence of his archnemesis.
