TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham is one of two candidates who North Texas has closed in on as it nears the end of its search for its next head coach, FootballScoop reported Friday.

According to FootballScoop, UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal is expected to interview Meacham on Sunday and hopes to announce a hire early next week.

Seth Littrell, North Carolina's assistant head coach for offense, is the other name mentioned in FootballScoop's report.

Now...I do think George D's Twitter is interesting a few days ago mentioning Littrell. But I still think Meach is the better hire....better for marketing on top of the other pros.

he would be more well known here.  Littrell is well respected nationally.  Either one would be great.  I'm real positive about how either and think they did a good job narrowing it down.

completely agree. Wonder why Applewhite all of a sudden is out?

I have a prostate exam early next week with the doc I lovingly call "Fatfinger" and you know what that means.

Coincidence? I think not!!

WTF?!  How is he one of your final two, and you still have to have another interview?! So stupid.

Ha.  If this in true (and it is a big if),  my guess is that Littrel was really impressive in the interview and it is up to Meacham to knock him out.  I don't really follow TCU or UNC closely enough to know who'd I'd prefer.  Would Littrel be willing to take a new job prior to the ACC Conference championship or would we have to wait until afterwards?

I don't know how it works in head coaching interviews but a (presumptively second) interview could also just be to affirm their decision. Could tell him he has the job Sunday after making sure.

Or maybe the second interview would involve Smatresk and/or another decision maker.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Come on man, it was no different before. A player at school X usually could not care less about X until they signed to play there. A lot of students didn't care about X until they enrolled, too. And when they didn't like the classes/social scene/town/it was too hard/etc they cared about school Y they moved to not school X anymore.

      How we feeling?

      Guess this is a good time to say online is not real life. I know us on this board are crazy psycho fans but the mean is much closer to “oh cool, playing a bowl game in Dallas? Yeah I’ll go.”

      Defensive assistants

      I have no problem with the assistants. OK, with Cassity sticking by his guys, I hope it doesn't take too much time away from his Portal recruiting.

      While a lot of what you said is true, I'm not convinced about winning over the alumni. Most were never interested in FB, or were fans of bigger schools, and many of the few that were have been lured away by the ESPN Minor League CFB system. We let 30-40+ years of students roll through UNT w/o much of a FB program to embrace. Worse yet, we spent a good portion of that time being a commuter school that was also significantly populated with students majoring in art, music, and elementary school teachers. While there are exceptions, a large majority of those students aren't interested in FB. It's interesting that art and music majors aren't in the below, but maybe many of them never complete their degree or end up with a teaching degree focused in that specialty. I'm kinda' surprised at the legal numbers. Now that we're well over 40k, we're less of a commuter school and the number of students interested in athletics should be getting a larger. However, even if 20k of those were FB fans, as I mentioned above, many of those are T-shirt fans of other big name schools. They'd rather watch SEC FB on a big screen TV in their comfy room with cheap snacks and beer than personally attend a UNT game.
