Congrats Coach! Wish you great success! 

Brad Hardcastle (@Brad_Hardcastle) tweeted at 11:06 PM on Sun, Nov 29, 2015:
Looks like #TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham is taking the #UNT job, according to reports by @brettvito. Nothing official yet.

Patterson's head coaching tree expands, never a bad thing when attracting new assistant coaches.

Congrats to Coach Meach.

Meacham is the right hire. First and foremost, we need a recruiter with Texas ties. He's proven he can put a very effective offense on the field. His choice of DC will be important, but recruiting trumps all else.

For a team that didn't start consistently having .500+ seasons until Patterson came along, they sure have a strange outlook on how pivotal a good coach can be for a Texas football program...

Gotta love that people think he deserves "better," though.  Makes me think we got something good coming our way for sure. Also, good on the folks wishing him well.  Hopefully some of them will keep following his career if he lands here!  *crossing fingers*

Nice sentiments by most. Still some strong butt hurt by others. I hope Meach poaches whoever he can out the door. Bunch of douche bags over on that site. 

That's how everyone who isn't a hard core fan views this program, young Ben, if they view it at all.

That thread should be required reading for a whole bunch of AD insiders. 

Right now this program is rightfully viewed as the worst in the nation. In the 15th year of the current AD...

As mentioned elsewhere, I guess RV really doesn't leave many friends anywhere:

"Assuming this proceeds, I hope Coach Meacham lays down the law that AD Villareal needs to stay the hell off the sidelines, and keep clear of his coaching business."

From that thread...

Never happen, but they know our AD well...

Talked to some of my TCU peeps, not a favorable response from any of them when asked about Meacham to UNT, and for all of them it was for one reason. RV.

Apparently everyone in this part of the country who is involved in college football knows the problem, except for 17 people at UNT...

Why?  Is RV not involved?

Yeah, he's involved. He's holding Smatty's jockstrap. And will launder it later.

It looks like he's been sidelined or figureheaded for this coaching search. I also feel like the president will understand that our new HC's wall of skins and more importantly, wall of recent skins means the coach knows more about running a football program than RV.

Did you notice in that whole 8 pages worth of postings, that not one person mentioned NTSU ?  Perhaps those TCU folks just keep up with the goings on in college football in the last 20 or so years than some other alleged college football fans.

Is this confirmed?  I really hope not.  I know everyone here wants RV gone, but if he's not going to be gone then he's going to have to be able to work with our new coach and his staff.

quote from one of the TCU board posts.... "He's taking at least both of our best 2 grad assistants, an insanely important one in Oliver. Assuming he goes"

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
