[Does/Should Liberty change G5 OOC Scheduling?]

1 minute ago, techdawg88 said:

Did y'all consider that Liberty has tried to schedule P5 teams and for reasons we all know, they were told NO. Should Liberty be penalized for that?

No, they should not. We have run into the same problem where P5s will not come to Denton, and I am glad we no longer have to play "money" games. Does it make a difference for G5s to schedule P5s and try to strengthen the schedules, or are victories the most important?

[Does/Should Liberty change G5 OOC Scheduling?]

If the end game is to win as many games as possible with the quality of victories not seeming as important, should G5 Schools schedule as easy as possible out of conference games?

What happens when we want to encourage these players to “explore other opportunities?”

Since scholarships are year to year they could just tell the player they're not planning on renewing. However it's more likely they let the player know that their plans are not including them and they urge them to look elsewhere for another opportunity.  Then again if they take Deion's approach they just tell the player you're cut, clear out your locker

[19' RB Offer: Deion Hankins; EP Parkland - 3 star .8628]

I would like to have him with the Mean Green. I believe he has already picked up an offer from Tech.

[CUSA/Liberty to a NY6 Bowl Game?]

If SMU beats Tulane will this happen or with the powers-that-be jump SMU over Liberty? While I would like to see the American get the G5 team in, can't find myself pulling for SMU.

[Who Should We Hire to be Our DC Next Season?]

It's amazing the number of people on here that when you try and credit someone want to as quick as possible find something to go back after that person. Right or wrong guys we had the worst defense in college football. Honestly it does not look like Morris will make a change ( whether that is out of his true belief, arrogance, or his inexperience, only time will tell) and if he doesn't I will be frustrated but I will support him because I support the Mean Green. We have to all realize as long as we have an air raid mentality coach defense will most likely not be a priority.

People bitching about paying 5 bucks for the best unt content out there is mind blowing 

Disclosure  - I signed up for it as soon as I saw it. 

 

I don't think they're complaining about that at all. I think the point is on this site,  and many others, people link stories and when you click it is behind a paywall. If you're going to do that so be it, but at least in your link description explain that it's a pay site before people click on it.

Guess we really are a stepping stone football program 

This could basically be said for every G5 program. Even at the FPS level many of the stars from the highest ranked teams are transferring out. Not saying it's right or wrong but money has taken over the game and players will move for the chance to make money regardless to whether or not they will get playing time. Combine n i l with transfer rules that are a joke( how many players are on their third or fourth School without ever having to sit out). While it is hard to put rules in place to control an NIL money they need to look at the transfers. In my opinion players should get one free transfer whether it is as a undergraduate or a graduate. It will also be nice when these covid exception years run out. Seems like every team has sixth or 7th year players on their squad.

Defensively, it literally can’t get much worse.

Random UNT fan: our defense is terrible we need to change everything and get rid of everybody

A defensive player hits the portal and some of these same people are complaining that oh my goodness we're losing a defensive player

In some of these cases it seems like after the end of year sit down talk with their coaches they're hitting the portal

It would be borderline criminal for anyone to tell him to pass on an opportunity like that. I know we’d all like to keep great players forever but if Chandler (or Tylor Perry for that matter) came up to me and said “I love it here and I know you love the mean green, what should I do?” I would tell them ten times out of ten that you can’t pass up an opportunity like that because it may never present itself again in your lifetime.

I agree players are doing what they think is best for themselves and while I may not like it I do not blame them. But at the same time players and fans should not be surprised when fans treat players like commodities and have no loyalties and feel more than free to show unhappiness with their play and comment about it

That sounds like someone who is only emotionally invested in himself and what he receives. 

I've had a ton of colleagues who have left me with more work so they can take on a new and better job. People I emotionally bonded with that I hope go on to great success. 

Otherwise it just sounds lonely and kinda depressing...

Not sure how you got that. Mainly I'm not going to concern myself with someone who no longer cares about my University once they leave. But if you need to feel warm and fuzzy go ahead. You're probably one of those who when their girlfriend broke up with them you still let them have the tickets to the concert you bought so they could take their new boyfriend

With the numbers this system has put up I do not believe it would be hard to go to the portal to find a quality quarterback

Did you ever leave a company for a job in the same industry that paid more and offered you a better opportunity? I have, appreciate the year he gave us, and wish him nothing but the best in the future.

I agree but I also when I've left the company I don't expect those at the company I left to still be cheering for me. I don't blame him for what he does, but my ties to these players is they were playing for North Texas. Once they leave I'm not going to wish them bad luck but I'm also not going to wish them luck

It will be very interesting to see how Morris handles this replacement. Maybe a coach who can bring along a player or two.

Co-offensive coordinator.  
 

So nobody’s in charge.

Per ESPN -

Littrell, who played fullback on Oklahoma's 2000 national title team, likely would take the lead coordinator role as the Sooners replace Jeff Lebby, who left to become Mississippi State's head coach earlier this week. 

Finley, a former Sooners tight end who spent time with three NFL teams, has been at his alma mater since 2021. He's the team's associate head coach for offense in addition to working with the tight ends and H-backs.

[Interesting portal stat]

One problems you run into is that every player is being told and believes they are the exception.

[Grass Isn't Always Greener End Of Season Update]

The "power" conferences need to split off into their own league. Those left need to realign and regain some semblance of sanity.  They can still play games against the new league/division but need to make sure they pay.

Thanks, was not aware of this; I knew individual conferences had rules; but not a group  of  conferences. 

However, is it a rule if no one has to follow it?

Deion blew this out of the water. I guess the schools are now thinking that if the players can walk away, we should be able to move on if we choose to. 

[OL Smallwood hits the portal]

Here is one example of the rule. There are many more if you google it
