Now i'm envisioning worse case scenarios where we hold out for Littrell, lose Meacham, and then Littrell spurns us for a bigger program after an upset against Clemson. I must be a North Texas fan.

So, the consensus is that it will definitely be Meacham unless it's someone else.

This is why RV's ass should have been canned after Portland St. Good Lord. 50/50 odds we screw this up and end up with neither of the top candidates.  And those odds may be low.

Its not easy to cover a coach search. There is so much crap being floated out there. Its hard to tell what real and not real. 

I think its pretty safe to assume its either Meacham or Littrell.

I think its safe to say Littrell must have had one helluva interview, because he is giving them some pause on offering Meacham the job.

I like vito. But I wished he would just admit he is throwing darts just like half on this board ha. Do we even know if its between Littrell and Meacham? Shit it could be Jinks and Chambers for all we know!! 

Stop it. 

Its between those 2.

Meacham is the first leaked "confirmed" name when we heard the list of finalists and yesterday, when Vito said that the hire is confirmed, then when whatever people related to players started tweeting hints that it was absolutely, irrevocably, without a shadow of a doubt, Meacham.

This mean that our new head coach is absolutely, irrevocably, without a shadow of a doubt, NOT Meacham.

I hope you are right. Some one coming out of no where scares the crap out of me. Littrell or Meacham will be good hires.

Seems like UNT made a decision on who it WANTS.  Might not be able to get that 1st choice or there is some issues with finalizing a deal.  Might be money, might be staff...first choice may be waiting for other openings.

Meacham would be a solid pick. Jinks and Littrell have more upside and downside, IMO, than Meacham, at this point.

Chambers shouldn't even be mentioned with the other three--but the schadenfreude that the CUSA West foes would have if RV hired him would be off the charts. There's a reason that the UTSA poster on here suggested that our win over UTSA this season might be worth it for them, in the end, since it means that RV gets to stay. Its never a good thing whan a rival openly asks that you keep your AD or head coach during dismal seasons...

I think we should just go with Meacham... it will be easier for us to hire Mcconaughey to eventually play him in the movie about our rebuild later in a few years

If I correctly recall from the McCarney hire, his name was not even in the discussion. Then someone came on the board, who had never posted before, and told us our new HC was a position coach from Florida! 

Obviously, the poster was correct.

If it's Littrell, something has to be done about recruiting pronto. Especially if North Carolina "upsets" Clemson and the Tar Heels get into the playoff.  

Again, we appear to be in good hands either way.  I think both a equally capable.  My desire is to have someone recruiting yesterday, given what we have on the roster at QB and DL. 

The longer we wait, the shorter the early JUCO signee window becomes as well.

LOL to you sir.

 

I will say I do hate these leaks because if another team has been sitting on the fence with these guys they certainly are not now.

Is it reasonable to think that, if an announcement is not made today, it is because they are primarily pursuing Litrell and we very well may not get a final answer until after Saturday?

Or that everything is set in principal but they just haven't crossed the t's and dotted the i's yet. Too many variables, I'm still holding out hope that they will have a press conference today. We needed the guy to get in here and start recruiting like yesterday.

Good point but let us not pull the trigger prematurely on a minimum four year proposition for a couple weeks of recruiting time.

Rumor #107.... Word is we want Litrell but don't want to wait till after he coaches their conference championship next Saturday,...so Meacham it is.

That rumor would be a stretch...if at any other school.  But for North Texas....yeah, I could believe it.

I understand we want boots on the ground recruiting, but a week is nothing when it comes to landing the best available candidate. This class is going to be strung together at the last minute anyways and there is still PLENTY of time to do that.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
