So.. Cal got stuck with Spav. Poor bastards..

I never realized how short our coaches are. Maybe 5'8 is the magic number.

Dude..it's 2023. I got a complaint against me for using the word "lame". Apparently I was being 'ableist'. I remember when the word police used to be the religious right-wingers. Now it's the super lefties. He has to get his public shaming for saying a no-no word.

Not sure how I feel about it, but it should help the G5 schools. It should reduce the number of plays which will help limit the ability of the power schools to lean on their depth late in the game.

Because Wren negotiated the contract and 1) why would he care what happens after he leaves and 2) it disincentivized UNT from ever firing Wren (if they had wanted to) since it gimps the buyout clauses of the coaches... so yeah take from that what you will.

Yeah, we ended up 31 on KenPom so that feels about right. That's top 9% of teams. That'd be like being #12 in the College Football Ranking.

Y'all are ridiculous. If I was given $3M/year you better believe I'd sign and announce it as soon as humanly possible. You never know what might happen if you delay..stranger things have happened. If it fell through you think he could take solace in the fact that he didn't upset some fans who wished he waited 3 days instead of 1?

Ha. "Texas Tech is classless". What else is new? Have you ever been to a Tech game in any sport? They are the jerkiest, douchiest group you'll ever see. I can only guess it's due to a massive inferiority complex for being A&M-lite for folks not smart enough to get into A&M.

I think you're kinda proving the opposite, honestly. Not exactly displaying a thick skin here. And who posts on Facebook groups? Are you an 80 year old woman? 😁

Meh... I don't think so...It's Oklahoma State. They know what's up. They're not the best at anything. They didn't get invited to the SEC and tying them to OU single-handedly killed the OU/UT to Pac-12 deal years ago. With T Boone gone they have nothing left but to wallow in their looming irrelevance.

Yeah, that was bizarre. He had a guy open and probably could have run it in as well. He just threw the ball away.

It warms my heart to know that UTSA will end the season with a bowl loss and unranked yet again.

I don't have any interesting takes on Morris as a coach, but for some reason his speaking reminds me of David Arquette.

His last 2 recruiting classes were last and 10th in the ACC.. do you know how bad you have to recruit to be last in the freakin ACC? That means Duke and Wake Forest did a better job recruiting than he did.

Maybe.. but his last 2 recruiting classes were last in the ACC and 10th. He had one top 25 national recruiting class (24) in 2018.. but was still 5th in the ACC.

Well.. since the knock on Fuente was that he was a terrible recruiter and the current coach is playing Fuentes recruits.. I think you should be more concerned.

This means we're going to be stuck with Justin freakin Fuente, huh? I had a Va tech alum laugh at me yesterday that we were considering him.

The University has to hire a freakin search firm to hire a football coach? UNT has more money to burn than I thought.

I had ChatGPT write a letter for him... Can you write a letter for a recently fired football coach (who is really mad that he was fired despite being paid millions of dollars for mediocre results) to the fanbase thanking them for their support in order to make himself not look petty? Dear Fans, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your support during my time as the head coach of our football team. While I am disappointed that things did not work out as we had hoped, I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this organization and for the support you have shown me. I know that our results on the field were not always what we had hoped for, and for that I take full responsibility. However, I also want to assure you that I gave everything I had to try to bring success to this team and its fans. I know that some of you may be upset with the decision to let me go, and I understand that. But please know that I hold no ill will towards the organization or anyone involved in the decision. I wish the team and its fans nothing but the best in the future. Again, thank you for your support. I will always look back on my time with this team with fondness, and I will be rooting for its success moving forward. Sincerely, [Coach's Name]

Some of y'all are nuts. UNT's weak Prez got down on his hands and knees because some speaker on campus dare suggest minors shouldn't have sex re-assignment procedures. You think he's going to get anywhere near Art Briles??

Oh please. What else was he going to say? What could he point to as far a "Baker and Smastrek working together" that would earn such praise? Honestly, that is absurd. It dropped in our lap because the Big 12 raided the AAC. Nobody was knocking on our door to join their conference. I'm not saying Wren was terrible, I guess he made the rich men happy enough which is pretty important, but he objectively achieved very little and wasn't a particularly good executive.

Meh.. some people just continue to fail upwards. I'll never understand why some folks think highly of the guy. He hasn't been able to increase attendance, football has continued to be on the poor side of mediocre. He has struggled with various aspects in regards to business management and logistics over the years despite a large increase in staffing. I guess we are going to a better conference, but not because of anything he did..
