LSU needs to just accept their descent into irrelevance. They aren't getting a big name after their stupidity with Kelly.

Why would the QB not finish the season? The portal window opens Jan 2-16. If UNT makes the playoff, they'll get bounced in the first game mostly likely which is December 19-20. If they somehow win their first game, he still has plenty of time to make his decision to go to Oklahoma State.

He'll have better options than OkSU.  Even with his HFC going there.

Agreed, but I'd put heavy odds on OSU gaining Mestemaker's services next year.

Who? (Commanders QB coach)

Really thought the big NIL infusion and Luck could land a bigger name. Or he’s just a puppet for Luck

He could wind up being a real gem, 💎 what’s not to like. Former player, alum of Stanford and seems to be good at his previous roles. I think it helps he’s been in the pros. He’s young. I also think it helps that he’s an alum and cares about the school. I’d rather have loyalty. I guess. Not someone that is always looking for another job somewhere else….ahem Kiffin.

The reaction so far appears to be “uh ok”

Not really the type of hire to rejuvenate a very dejected fanbase.

Can’t see Mestemaker sitting out a championship game with a CFP spot on the line. Especially with his coach sticking it out. He’ll have offers but really think he’ll go OSU.

I hope it becomes the norm for guys like Morris to finish the season and postseason with their squads when a conference championship and CFP bid are still play.

Agreed, however UNT fans want him out of town, like yesterday.  They hate and despise him.  It’s 50% sad and 50% comical how they are acting about Morris leaving.

I'm surprised UNT fans are this ungrateful and stupid.

Mean Green wouldn't be in this position without Morris. Thank him for his exemplary service and move on. Y'all don't have the financing to retain his services and should know that you're a stepping stone for up-and-comers.

maybe larger schools should have to compensate the UNT’s when they poach their HCs? 


Also…Obligatory. 

IMG_9202.jpeg

Fans of lower tier schools aren't happy when their coaches constantly leave at the first sign of success. 

What they should be more concerned about is who their AD will hire.  His last three coaching hires have been two D2 coaches and a very low level D1 coach…all of who were complete unknowns.  MBB and Softball have been competitive on a national level for several years, and those hires were completely unserious WTF’s.  To be honest, at the time of the hire Morris was a barely known.  I just don’t see this ending well for UNT and they are about to get send back to irrelevancy all across the athletic department.

Where do you think the buyout money from a coach's contract goes?

The thought I was told was the QB is going to sit out the bowl game and follow Morris, but could be all total speculation and bullsthit.

Sad part though is if it happened would anyone be surprised and not knocking the kid, Morris, or Ok State, but where college football has fallen with no floor in site.

Why cannot UNT find a decent enough coach that wants to stay? There are worse locations and those find HCs that want to stay. Can’t they just make their alumni base donate $5 a person a year? and create a decent war chest? They have like 467,000 alumni and most live in that area. Like make em pony up if they don’t like losing their up and comers to other schools?

Agree, he could be a hit,

The things we don't know are things such as hiring staff and the day to day coaching decisions.

Will Andrew make those?

Just look at the stands today before kickoff.

UNT is a commuter school. Most of the students and alumni don't care about Mean Green football. A young, motivated coach like Morris ain't staying there if a P4 team wants him. It is what it is.

1. They don’t pay well.

2. Their NIL/Rev Share is at the bottom of the AAC.

3.  Look at their stands today and tell me if that’s a crowd representative of a 10-1 team on the verge of an AAC Championship Game appearance and a possible playoff spot.

One small question, who is going to enforce that?

And furthermore, if the committee is evaluating $$$ considerations when choosing which G5 team gets the spot, that won’t favor UNT either.  Again, the home game crowd today does them no favors in that regard either.

These days, bowl games are meaningless. I can't blame Mestemaker for sitting out whatever low-level bowl game UNT gets. It's just an exhibition anyway.

I expect he'll play in the unlikely event UNT sneaks into the CFB Playoffs.

Yeah I tuned in for obvious reasons and was shocked that the stands are less than half full for a historic team. No way a coach isn’t going to move on especially a guy who just turned 40.

So glad to know God will be advising Lane Kiffin on his coaching career instead of dealing with the unnecessary suffering, violence, hatred, and bloodshed that is taking place all over the world.

He goes to LSU and there is no way he doesn’t go Dark Lane in under two months. Cignetti, Rhule, Lashlee, Drink, Lea and others chose to stay and announced it and Kiffin dragging it out like the hoe he is. God did not advise him to act like a hoe.

I’m thinking the Giants. He’s got Dart and Jameis to work with. Kiffin and Jameis and all their wisdom in that locker room would be quite something to see.

That would be interesting he’s a natural for the NY media and he has a lot of pieces to work with. Just hire a good DC and he can get that team humming. Broadway Lane. 

Lane seems genuinely conflicted. Something about how he wishes his dad was still alive is to give him advice. 
 

Whatever LSU is offering is either a lie or something that they can’t deliver. I think that should make his decision easier, but we’ll see. 

is someone keeping track of how many of these coaches are managed by Sexton? 2 more off the board. what a year to be a Top 20 program looking for a coach.

Completely unserious hire. Stanford, Cal, UCLA are all a fucking joke at this point and SC is barely keeping their head above water. 

College football in that state is probably gone and may never come back.

Looks like the Beavers will go with a longtime assistant-level coach to take the HC job. I’ll admit to being completely unfamiliar with him  

A lot of UDub folks are fans of his for his work during DeBoer’s tenure. So much so that if he has a solid results at OSU that he’d be on the list once Fisch leaves.

Jedd Fisch is rumored to be Plan B for UF, right? He's an alumnus

Supposedly extension with UDub agreed upon and to be announced this weekend. As a UW fan, I don’t think there was ever any real interest from UF. So this must mean Fisch’s agent has learned that UF has agreed with Sumrall and can’t leverage that opening anymore. 

Florida better be on their Plan B then, because it's Ole Miss or LSU.... and if he had to decide today, it would probably be Ole Miss
