[Would Memphis football hire Jackson State's Deion Sanders if there's a coaching change?]

I think if and when Wren decides to make a change we need to factor lots of bonus money based on performance. allows us to create a huge contract with out some huge guaranties

500K bonus for first sellout of Apogee (Wining and coach outreach is needed)

100 K for each following sellout

100 K Birth in Conference Championship

250 K Wining conference Championship

100 K winning bowl game

100 K for every week the team in ranked in the Top 25

1 M for finishing in CFP final rankings

We moved up to #15.  Do we want to crack the top 10?

2020 shows that 2 G5 teams could get in.

[12 Team CFP Expansion Confirmed]

But it will give a G5 championship school an automatic bid.  Which lets be honest it probably the one team that is considered each year. No problem with that.  Good teams that play good schedules and win will be rewarded.

[Could Seth Littrell be our Luke Skywalker?]

I think the fact that this year he is setting himself up to be HEAD COACH. He is not the OC, he is the HEAD COACH. He acting so far like the CEO which is what he should have done. I think the fact that he has good veteran coaches around him has helped.  I not predicting we going Undefeated after one week, but I think the way we played and made adjustments we are trending more positive than thought.

I was at Apogee earlier today talking to a Deep throat informant and he said that someone in the ticket office told him that we 3,000 away from a sell out. This is tickets sold and not the student section. 

Take this with a grain of salt if you want to take it at all. 

If this is the case they should be talking about that.  Need to drive the walk up to buy tickets now. 

[DRC: We are approaching 100 picks -- most of them optimistic -- entering the final hours to enter this year's Get Your Rear on the Record contest]

11-3 with loses to UTSA, Memphis, and one sneaks up - We upset SMU at home, and win a bowl game vs a P5 team. I adding a game for the CUSA championship.

 

 

 

[How important is UTEP game in setting direction for the season?]

The most important part of this game is how we play. If we are competative and lose a close game, may not be a season breaker, but if we get beat bad that could be the end before the season gets to true week one.

 

['23 DL Offer: Enow Etta; Covenant Christian (Colleyville): 4 star - .9422]

I love to see us grab one of these, but no issue losing recruit to Michigan or a bigtime school.  The hope is we can grab them again if they decide to leave.

[UNT AD Wren Baker joins the GoMeanGreen Podcast Thursday - Fan questions welcomed!]

With all the changes in re-alignment where is the top he sees for north Texas. What are we doing to make our self stand out over others. Especially UTSA and SMU.  Would you consider a PAC12 invite if they wanted into Texas with the uncertainty around the others in the conference.  In your conversations with other conferences in the past or present is there things they would like to see from North Texas.

Heard from a reliable source that Delong is leaving to coach Texas Tech. Announcement next week. Sucks to lose a really good coach.

Not the hire at tech. 

[Excited about early AAC but what of schedules?]

I hope it means we can schedule a extra non-conference game in 2023 and beyond for replacement of SMU, and others.

[Coaches caravan: Houston]

Any good information shared?  Anything new?

[Non-Conference basketball games I like to see]

SFA (always close to a tournament team)

texas Southern.  Love to play JJ every year 

Texas State

TAM-CC

UTA ( a home game even if not)

Most of these are consistently good teams.  Need others to push us up rankings but these are ones we should win but also would be good game.

My understanding this is a Semi- pro league. She will be able to play for North Texas this upcoming season.  I am hoping she shows even better things this season.

[Is it safe to assume that at 5 wins we are bowling?]

Last calculation I saw (can not find the article) was that 3-4 5 win teams could get in.  I think the only way to guarantee a bowl game is to win the next 2 games.  

[Wren’s Decision Process]

I think Wren is doing the correct thing.  He letting the season play out.  Nothing is gained by letting seth go now.  He not going to hire someone prior to the first week in December.  I think if we win 5-6 games (requires no more than one loss remaining) there is a chance he is back, and probably must show even more improvement the next season.   Lose some of these games we should win probably gone, and Wren may already be talking to coaches/Agents through back channels.

[My Coaching Wish List at the Moment]

One coach I would keep in mind. Barry Odom. He was supporting wren for Missouri AD prior to him leaving to come to North Texas.  Currently the DC at Arkansas I think.  But does have head coaching experience.  

[DRC Sunday column: Issues with discipline in loss to Marshall raise question -- Is Littrell's message to players getting through?]

At this point I do not understand why we have not seen one of these  Quarterbacks.

1. Bryce Drummond ( He can play in 4 games and still be redshirted, so get some experience)

2. Kason Martin ( Think he has earned a chance the past years)

3. Amani Gilmore ( was a SEC recruit, so why not give a chance)

 

At this point I think anyone one the roster should be given a chance to play.  Both the QB we have played so far have shown they can not perform consistently.  Lets see if we can find one that can.
