There’s a coach that was brought up a while back. He had great G5 success. Now that you look back at his P5 experience….he actually ended up being better that thought when he got let go, especially seeing that he didn’t get the recruits that the current guy gets. He knows Texas. Runs a high powered offense. What is Kevin Sumlin doing? I’m still intrigued by him. Pluses? Minuses?

100% 12 win season. Top 25 ranking. NY6 trumps all

Oof

7 year deal. Averages $4 million per year! https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35179638/sources-liberty-jamey-chadwell-agree-7-year-deal

What makes Seth a “very good coach?”

Nothing really spectacular in the 6 years Fritz had been there. 2-10 last year. Now all the sudden he beat the big 12 champion on the road and is going to the Cotton Bowl. What is the difference between last season and this season?

Did you see our butts in seats this season? Homecoming? That’s what happens. And it will get worse if they don’t make a change

CUSA was even worse than I expected

Good point…. But he will have to replenish with his recruits here pretty soon. This is year 3 for him? not saying he won’t but…..we could have the same situation here. A good coach comes in and develops what’s (on paper) supposedly a talented, young roster Get a good transfer QB in here and we can turn this around fairly quickly….

Was Frank Harris Traylor’s recruit?

If you asked the majority of people at ESPN about the “fake fair catch” they’ll know about NT. Just a few years ago we were the darlings of ESPN just for that one play. Someone’s doing that on purpose. You can’t even be lazy and say “Golden Eagles”. That in Itself takes effort.

If 6-6 is just awesome then sure that’s a lot better than 3-9. How much should we pay a head coach that takes us to such heights?

We’ve been about .500 since then so we really haven’t made much of a dent in that record…. But I mean I guess we haven’t gotten worse than 22-73 so I guess it’s like a win.

I support that

I think Littrell hacked your account

That’s so sad and so true. If we don’t do anything. Man, We are headed toward some doldrums but but but CuSa ChAmPiOnsHip GaMe! not good enough folks….not good enough relative to our history? Sure. Relative to our new conference? Not even close.

That’s the easiest prediction Vito’s ever made…. he knows what he’s doing

Well I hope we have the same trajectory they had after that AD hire and subsequent football coach hire....they seemed to have turned it around

Job security wise.

The only thing that might make me raise an eye brow.... What kind of situation is here waiting for the next guy? We think (and I've said many times) this is a great job and one of the best in the G5. He was making $800K....he was basically untouchable and had a really good gig. He DID leave for a P5 but it's not like it was a blue blood. WVU is a big 12 school but it's about to be a watered down big 12 with UT and OU leaving. He did get a little raise but he was already making big bucks. If what some have said are true about how decisions are made here and he was trying his hardest to get out...gives me a little pause. Besides, hasn't he had opportunities in the past that he was rumored to pass on? Then all the sudden he's mass emailing his resume and jumps on WVU?...a situation with a similar head coach issue...but on an even larger, higher pressure scale. What's the Risk/Reward? Is he more jumping ship than taking a bigger job? What is going on in Denton, TX?

That can sell me…..

The moment before that kick was attempted was the absolute pinnacle of the Seth Littrell era and it hasn't been that high since. The crowd and atmosphere that game proves that what you said in another thread about hiring winners and everything falls into place is right on. Wren Baker had the same game day experience then as he does now. The difference is we were 4-0, had beaten a P5 were knocking on the door of the top 25....and the people showed up to see a winner and potential nationally ranked team. And we all know what happened next. Funny games on the field and corny dogs don't bring people.....winning (real winning....undefeated teams....top 25.....national attention winning) brings crowds. Want a good game day atmosphere at Apogee? Have 32K there making noise.

Don’t really have anything to add…
