North Texas is on the verge of announcing who will take over as its new head football coach.

UNT lost to UTEP 20-17 in its final game of the season Saturday at Apogee Stadium. Several of the coaches UNT is talking to about taking over the program finished their regular seasons with their current programs over the last few days.

TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham and North Carolina assistant head coach for offense Seth Littrell are among the coaches in the mix. A UNT source confirmed Saturday that both are among the final few coaches in the running for the position, but said it is premature to say that the school has narrowed its focus just to those two coaches.

“We have done our due diligence and will make a decision soon,” UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal said shortly after the game. “All of the things that we have to do are dependent on people’s schedules.”

UNT is seeking a coach to take over for Dan McCarney, who was fired five games into his fifth season with the Mean Green.

The Mean Green have posted just one winning season in their last 11 and tied the school record for losses in a season after falling to UTEP. UNT finished 1-11, matching the mark set in 2008 under Todd Dodge.

A bit concerning that RV makes it clear here that these are not just the two finalists.  These two coaches are a bit outside of the normal road that RV likes to take in hiring coaches.

lol PR bs RV knows who they are just wants to keep it up in the air. He acted like he didn't know how Riley got leaked the decided he wasn't interested.

Or maybe that is all that Smatresk has felt he needed to share with the dysfunctional AD we call RV.

We can only hope our Pres hands him cards on the day of coach announcement and says "here...we prepared these comments for you to read. We don't trust your judgement anymore."

What is the probability he announces tomorrow. He is suppose to have an "interview" tomorrow? Does this really mean he wants to coach on campus when he makes the announcement?

I'd like to hear from our resident recruiting experts on both Meacham and Littrell.  From what little I've read (basically their coaching bios) I think I'd pick Littrell...but he has been coaching at schools that are easier to recruit to than North Texas and all of his experience is outside the G5 level.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like us to hire a guy who knows the landscape around CUSA and can hit the ground running from day one.  I'm tired of losing.

RV hired Todd Dodge & Coach Mac.  Two very disparate 'roads'.

According to this article,  Meacham not supposed to be on campus until Monday.

Football Scoop says Sunday and the Star Telegram says Monday. Who knows.

I have never seen Meachams name tied to Maryland

Maybe they are holding the interview at a Jimmy John's today, and he will be on campus tomorrow for the hiring press conference?

Latrell has to coach the conference championship game still.

Meachum is Maryland's top target.

I'm not sure that's correct. I've seen where they've reached out to Dungy, Mack Brown, Texans coach Bill O'Brien and Michigan DC DJ Durkin. Rumors are that it's Durkin.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
