Fire Bowen now.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Absolutely pathetic coach. We really thought a DC from Kansas could develop players when they get 50 points a game hung on them.

Worst damn defense in the nation

[meangreen11]

Aren’t his players tho.  You gotta keep that in mind but yeah this is embarrassing.

He should be the one developing and getting the players better. He has proved to be about worse than Ref

The DC at utsa is new and switched them to a 3-4 scheme this season. Made our defense look absolutely horrible.

Come on Bowen.  It's like you took one step forward last game, only to take 3 steps backwards today.

[Venson]

It's not just Bowen. You have to consider that SL made the hire. He seems to keep hiring people that Mangini liked. Stop hiring friends out of loyalty and hire football coaches.

Probably one of my biggest beefs with their profession.  It's so buddy-buddy.

Oh boy, that’s not how coaching works.  Would love to see you install your defense with no spring or fall camp and a month off between games.  This is just going to be a cluster this yr.  Seeing effort is the most important thing.  Assignments a lot harder to implement.

You guys were just praising his defense last week, now he needs to be fired? Lol it’s the players not the coach . But I get a normal fan wouldn’t get that.

That is not an excuse!

UTSA brought in an entire new coaching staff, offensive scheme and switched to a 3-4 defense. 
No spring ball and limited fall practice. 
They looked much better than us.

Thanksgiving left overs and below mediocre UNT football...

UTSA has played 4 more games than UNT.

We were 3-3 and UTSA was 6-2. That is two games more than us not 4. Rice was about 1-1 and played us tougher than we played UTSA.

No today was their 11th game.  They’re now 7-4.

I stand corrected. Still no excuse for us to let them score 49 points like they are world beaters.

[greenminer]

I saw the Frank Wilson hire and what they did in his year 1, then watched the following 3 seasons unfold.  I think we are trying to read too much into 1st year coaching results/comparisons.

I think there are two things at play here: 1) Y'all are not giving UTSA enough credit.  They've beaten every team in the West except UAB, and lost by 7 to a T15 team (BYU).  2) we played like dog shit today.

Just not a good day for us.

lol he’s been a coach for like 15+ years, and  has had some of the worst defense rankings in the nation.

The schemes suck bad. Sets up everyone for failure. Even the commit from ULM just said “The corners be too far off” 

Take the glasses off, and realize that something has to change

I agree with a lot of that but firing him after 7 games is not the thing that should change.

Well what should? If it’s the players that are the ones, then what do you do? That is a lack of development if you ask me.

I cannot sit here and hear you be so dismissive of such things... You go too far.

Thanksgiving leftovers are freaking awesome and you know it.

Very true, but not as tasty when you watch that crap I saw today on tv.

Technically, UTSA doesn't have a DC right now. Nix is on suspension while the university investigates him. So, Bowen's defense got upstaged by a team with no defensive leadership. And, Littrell couldn't play call or coach against a defense who's first year DC hasn't even been there for weeks to help his players learn their new system. Let that sink in.
