Complete let down after Meacham. 

UNTexas

No one is asking for that. RV had the athletic department start issuing nonsense about the decision coming down and then balked. This hiring is not being run professionally by RV. RV is terrible at al

Carlos Mendez is really covering himself in glory today. I like how he talks about there being a "rise of confusing reports" without mentioning that his original story was the source of that confusion. Smooth.

The Star-Telegram has dropped that original story in the memory hole, as if Mendez never reported it.

Would make sense based on what RV said about a schedule that they are following. 

Damn, and I was so looking forward to Matthew McConaughey playing Meach in our Lifetime movie!

Guess we will have to settle on Seth McFarlane as Littrell with Ted as a cameo.

Position coach.  Disappointing.

Littrell is OC.

All the FWST is doing is reporting on Vito's reports, and doing it pretty slowly.

That dude needs to hit refresh more often...

So if Littrell and Meacham both get away, does that leave Bruce Chambers as the front runner at that point, based on the list that was posted a few days back?

He calls the plays for them, give him whatever title you want, but he is the play caller.

I was confused about that at first too, but take my word for it -- he calls the plays and has for awhile.  To me that is OC.  The rest is just semantics.

Either is a solid hire, but essentially this really means that Meacham is staying at TCU for a big raise and Cumbie is moving to UT

So UNT got outbid by UT/TCU...

 

not necessarily littrell could be the first choice. Since it was reported meach never got offered

Fair enough - I humbly stand corrected.

These guys are really close and a big step-ups from where McCarney was when he was hired IMO. Both are play callers for two top-10 offenses in all of FBS. Their teams offensive statistics are really close. TCU is #11 in the country and UNC is #8. Meacham had the edge for me because he is a local guy but looks like that's not in the cards.

I really don't understand the angst out there about this.  It sounds like Littrell is our top choice so we have to wait a week.  We've known this would happen since the finalists were leaked.  It could be that Meacham was the first choice and turned us down but that goes against this latest report and against what his nephew twitted.  Of course, "not offered the job" could just be semantics.  Either way, we have to wait a week for Littrell.  I'm sure we have an "agreement" with him if not a contract all but signed.  I'm not worried about someone snatching him away in the last week.  It could happen but doubtful in my opinion.  In this week he should be giving UNC his all but he'll also be making calls to potiential assistant coaches so it's not a totally wasted week.

For all the RV haters (myself included), he's actually playing this as well as he can.  There's no harm in waiting a week to get the right guy.  Besides, think of all the additional press coverage we're getting.  

Do you prefer Meacham over Littrell?  I don't blame you.  I think I would have prefered Meacham for his extensive experience and Texas contacts, but I love Littrell's youth and energy.  Either is a great hire for us.  As BillSee pointed out, being young gives Littrell an advantage Meacham doesn't have.  

Disclaimer:  what if next week comes and Littrell isn't the hire?  What if there really is a secret candidate?  GMG board might melt down. :)

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
