Someone reported the hire was finalized and said it would be announced tomorrow. If thats true, I think it has to be Meacham. Littrell wouldnt want it announced that he was leaving UNC the week of their championship game - as it would be a distraction for the team.

It does seem pretty obvious that if it's Meacham it would be announced sooner than Littrell for this very fact. But, I would question the validity of this tweet.

I think the mods and people in the know on this board have been asked to keep quiet until tomorrow. Just a guess. 

I have a hidden camera on the wall in their HQ and I picked this up:

Lettrell couldn't be announced tomorrow, as he has an ACC championship game to coach in on Saturday.

 

They could agree to terms for him to be the next HC here and take over after a certain date.  I may be wrong but I thought that is what UH did with Tom Herman.

If North Carolina wins the game, it will be their first ACC championship since 1980. This would be terrible timing for him to announce a move.

It is what we did with Dodge. He was announced but continued to coach Southlake Carroll in the playoffs.

Agree.  Again, if Seth is best for UNT, I don't mind waiting another couple of weeks for him.  Let's not hire a different guy just to get him in here a couple of weeks sooner.

That would make sense but that isn't what we do at North Texas. We like to go off half-cocked. We like to sign extensions prematurely and the like.

You know, Smatresk on Saturday specifically mentioned his desire for UNC to beat Clemson this week...

Now that IS an interesting piece of information. Was that game being discussed or did he bring up that game?

We were talking about the way the Playoffs lineup would turn out and he brought UNC up himself. I didn't even realize the Tar Heels were doing as well as they are until yesterday.

Nice. Thanks for that. The more I hear and read into things, I'm starting to think that Littrell is prez' guy and RV would rather hire get the hire made ASAP, and if that means Meacham then so be it.

      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.
