Yes!  Yes, I am!

When I realize that we went a full season without scoring a single first quarter touchdown, those kinds of numbers make me salivate. 

I am liking Littrell more and more!

Agree. I think Meacham would get more buzz in the DFW area since Meacham is already here but I think Littell is the better hire.

I think Littrell would do just fine generating buzz on his own in short time.

Littrell has an excellent track record coordinating the offense at multiple stops. It's interesting to see his impact specifically at his last two jobs (Indiana and UNC), which are historically teams at the bottom of their respective conferences. One thing that is great to see is how his offense adapts from season to season, game to game, and obviously to his players. He threw it all over at Arizona with Nick Foles. Averaged 508 yards per game at Indiana with 300+ passing and 200+ rushing.

This year, Litrell's offense averaged 41.2 points per game and was very balanced with 230 yards per game rushing and 266 passing. One noticeable stat is his team's "yards per play" being 7.5 yards. Also, "points per play at .621 is the top in the country. So he's clearly not a guy trying to run 100 plays per game; rather is appears to be about maximizing efficiency.

Littrell has Texas ties.  He also has been pulling talent from Florida and the Carolinas. He could possibly open up some other areas for us to recruit from  

It might be better to have him selling the product, North Texas, to prospects that aren't in love with UT, TCU and OU.

HIRE the man.  If he is what he appears to be recruiting won't be an issue.

Everybody recruits this state in some way shape or form.  As I've said in previous posts that it should be relatively easy to recruit in this state with the amount of talented players in this state and around this region.  Go with the best coach that can coach up players and a team.  I could care less if they have Texas ties or not.  It's all about relationship building from the point they're hired IMO.

I think i prefer this guy over meachum but RV didnt asks me for my opinion.

I bet Smatresk doesn't ask RV his opinion either.

I think it would be quite ironic for Smastrek to announce the hire, walk over to RV and tell him he needed to see him in his office.  Then fire him.  What kind of backhand would that be? Greatness.

It makes all the sense in the world to do that but it's North Texas so that would never happen.

Why would you say that?   Have they worked together before?

Sounds like a ploy to taint Littrell, I personally am fairly sure RV has no hand in the new coach selection, he is an AD in name only.

Littrell is RV guy. So I hope president let's him make the hire.

I have to agree with you, personal issues here.    Assumption, no info, just like JayD's post.

I'm hoping you're right that Seth is our man but ‌@southsideguy is pretty convinced that Meacham is a done deal.

Thanks for the update.   I appreciate the insider angle.     I hope that you are right, I want Littrell here at UNT but I won't be upset if it is Meachum either.

I am thinking it's Meacham as well. Which proves RV didn't have the last say. Or littrell wouldn't be available soon enough

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.

      Hes 73 and will not coach forever... That said, if you can bring him in and have him coach just a couple seasons to get the program on the right track before retiring and handing it off to someone he has trained as his replacement.
