November 28Nov 28 LSU needs to just accept their descent into irrelevance. They aren't getting a big name after their stupidity with Kelly.
November 28Nov 28 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. Edited November 28Nov 28 by mdmost

November 28Nov 28 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

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.

November 28Nov 28 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.

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. https://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/forum/4-mean-green-football/ One of the thread titles is “UNT has been damaged by Coach Morris”.

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.

Also…Obligatory.
November 28Nov 28 Fans of lower tier schools aren't happy when their coaches constantly leave at the first sign of success.
November 28Nov 28 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.

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.
November 28Nov 28 Just now, DFW Horn said: Where do you think the buyout money from a coach's contract goes? 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?

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.

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.

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.

Just hire a good DC and he can get that team humming. Broadway Lane.
November 29Nov 29 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.

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.

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.
November 29Nov 29 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
