MGB: In a side note, Texas pursuing TCU's other co-offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie, could have an impact on UNT

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a power struggle, with Fly and his gang  firmly in RVs corner, as always. 

This should be interesting.

been my biggest fear for a week or so now

Maybe we can have Chris Thomsen on speed dial in case Meachem and/or Littrell get hired away elsewhere which I see very possible with the current job market (Memphis, Tulane, Maryland, etc...)

That's why the quicker this thing wraps up the better. Some may scoff at not letting time be an issue if we do choose Littrell, but is is. Our options are more limited the longer we wait and the more likely other bigger programs get desperate and go after their plan B or C, which could be one of our guys. Hence why so many programs got their coaches wrapped up yesterday.

It would be so UNT

God, so depressing/true...

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I can almost guarantee if North Carolina beat Clemson it won't be an issue of not having a coach until after playoffs, it will be an issue of not having that coach anymore. Especially if they win because of his offense, which they have been.

Looks like someone has been reading this board.

This does not surprise me at all. We knew this would be a power struggle between those two. Let's just hope it doesn't cost us both coaches in the time it takes for them to sort it out. But if the President is leaning Littrell that may change my mind on who my first choice is.

God we are in some kind of crazy Star Trekkian time circle thingy. GMG post of rumor or desire turns into media or twitter post picked up by other media or twitter users turns into GMG post turns into media or twitter post...

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.

Who is that guy and why would he have any clue about such things?  If the committee is made up of RV and Neal then one would be the source of the leak.  Seems highly suspect to me.

So, the president seeing the direction that the AD wants to go and then choosing the opposite path?  Can't argue with that logic.

RV may have gotten excited and told some players/parents he trusted but Smastresk hadn't signed off on it yet. He's a producer for The Ticket & UNT grad, don't know if he has any inside info or anything.

I don't think this is accurate because RV's guy is littrell

[Eagle-96]

Sidway is stating that:

 

Litrell's camp think Littrell is the favorite.

Meacham's camp thinks Meacham is the favorite.

 

IMO: We could very well have a tentative yes from both and RV and Neal are ironing out $$$ and who fits better. If we don't strike however, we may be left with neither. GET THIS DONE

He is an alum and works for the Ticket radio.

What makes Littrell RVs guy?

What makes Littrell RVs guy?

Because Real was a student employee in the AD 5 years ago...

wonder where the gang of 17 stand?

[oldguystudent]

Well, coach A wanted $X per year, but we just didn't have that.  So we called coach B on the phone, but he'd already left for INSERTSTATEHERE U.  So We give you, with great fanfare, your new University of North Texas head football coach!\

 

[UNT90]

Where they always stand. Firmly behind RV. 

They are having dinner later...

[HoustonEagle]

These candidates will not allow themselves to be yanked around for too long.  There are 20+ positions available correct?
