Silence = Littrell

MeanGreenZen · November 30, 2015

If Meacham was gonna be the guy we would have heard something by now. Something solid would have leaked. TCU's regular season is over. Meacham would have told his current players goodbye and they would have Tweeted about it. Plus, UNT would have announced the hire to make all the local Sunday night sports specials and Monday morning drive news cycle, especially since there isn't a Cowboy game to compete with in the current news cycle.

In my opinion, the hire won't be announced until UNC is officially out of the playoff hunt.

New coach will be announced Monday. It will be Meach.

NorthTexan95 · November 30, 2015

At this point we won't know for sure until something official comes out.

UNTX · November 30, 2015

Why do think it will be Meach? I started out seriously torn but really starting to lean towards Littrel.

MeanGreenZen · November 30, 2015

New coach will be announced Monday. It will be Meach.

It could end up being Meacham, but my sources indicate there are still four finalists and nothing is a done deal. My opinion is the longer this drags out the more it points to Littrell.

Any idea on the wild card pair?

I hope you are correct, but this is RV we are talking about.

Phil did you use the words "our AD" and "think" in the same sentence?

Now that is funny!!!!!!

It's not dragging out. The time frame has always been Mon - Tues announcement.

Honestly, I think the whole "mystery candidate" idea is just a failsafe being propagated by RV's minions in case a strong P5 swoops in and picks off Littrell and Meacham. In that case, RV can say New UNT Coach X was the mystery candidate and our first choice all along.

And let me say I am being told there are still four candidates, but I believe it is going to come down to Littrell or Meacham (assuming they would accept it).

Interesting, I am being told that RV has literally no hand in this coaching decision other than a figurehead to make press announcements. It would still play out.

You may be right. But whoever is leaking the information down from the top wants it known that there is still a "mystery candidate". My opinion is that "mystery candidate" is just a negotiating ploy and PR failsafe.

my fear meacham decides to stay. Littrell and UNC upset clemson and he stays for playoffs and we are stuck with chambers

Meacham is too classy... TCU still has bowl game... He has time for goodbyes.

we dont know the mystery canidates

Mike Jackson · November 30, 2015

Unfortunately I have to agree. RV doesn't grasp how important it is to do everything in your power to manipulate the local media that has so many sports stories to cover. Well I am guessing he doesn't grasp it, he may not care. Either way just another example of... I will let you complete the thought.

Mean_Green09 · November 30, 2015

There is only 2. Meacham & Littrell. Players are saying Meacham.

MeanMag · November 30, 2015

this isn't about class. It's about recruiting and making over a mil a year... He and anyone else will start asap.

Mean_Green09 · November 30, 2015

Meacham can start right away bc TCU has Cumbie to call plays.

THat's assuming a very competent Athletic Department. We barely can fill our revenue sports venues so I doubt we'd be able to deftly handle this announcement to get maximum publicity.

Correct. Littrell is not going to leave his team before a conference championship game, but it is the standard in coaching that if you take a promotion, you leave after the regular season and conference championship has been decided. No bowl game coaching.

See Justin Fuentes leaving Memphis before their bowl. I think he should have held out for a better P5 job, by the way.
