North Texas’ search for a new head coach took a turn over the last day with TCU assistant coach Doug Meacham going from appearing to be on the verge of landing the job back to be just a candidate for the position.

Meacham is still in the running for the job, according to sources at UNT, but at this point it appears as if the school is turning its attention to its other finalist — North Carolina assistant Seth Littrell.

A source close to Littrell suggested that the sides have already discussed parameters of a contract, one that could be ready to be finalized.

UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal would only say that the school is still in the process of finalizing its decision while denying a report Monday that the school had settled on Meacham as its next coach.

Smatresk seems extremely politically savvy.  I think he is toying with RV.  When he is done having fun, he will do what needs doing if RV hasn't already left.  All he has to do is start making RV doin

I may be gullible because I believed the Meacham report, but I believe this report just based on the fact that there is no reason not to announce Meacham now if we were to hire him and we haven't done it.  Littrell is the right guy for the job the more I think about it.

I am betting the "source close to Littrell" is Littrell's agent. I am f'ing pumped about this hire!!! It is a new day. Can't wait to watch an exciting brand of football!

I can't wait to see if he can recruit a QB immediately. 

If not, I won't be excited.

Ar all.

For some reason the website won't give me +1's tonight but I would give you one if I could.  I am so ready to have someone at quarterback who can give us hope.

Littrell fits the profile for the type of coach UNT is seeking because of his background as an offensively oriented coach. He joined North Carolina’s staff in 2014 and helped the Tar Heels set records for most passing yards, passing touchdowns and first downs in a season. North Carolina averaged 429.8 yards per game.

Littrell coached at Indiana prior to his time at North Carolina and helped the Hoosiers rank ninth in the nation in total offense in 2013 at 508.5 yards per game.

 

2015 NC

  • Total Offense 16th
  • Passing Offense 15th
  • Rushing Offense 33rd

2014 NC

  • TO 43rd
  • Pass 27th
  • Rush 73rd

2013 Indiana

  • TO 25th
  • Pass 25th
  • Rush 44th

2012 Indiana

  • TO 51st
  • Pass 25th
  • Rush 99

2011 Arizona

  • TO 31st
  • Pass 6th
  • Rush 81st

2010 Arizona

  • TO 25th
  • Pass 8th
  • Rush 81st

 

Has been an OC six years, Top 25 Passing or Total Offense in five of those years, top ten twice.

Avg for those six years:

Seth Littrell (2010-2015)

  • TO 31st
  • Pass 17th
  • Rush 68th

 

North Texas (2010-2015)

  • TO 93rd
  • PASS 95th
  • Rush 62nd

 

Littrell's offenses have performed on average about 62 places above North Texas' offenses from 2010-2016.

You and Me both.  I LOVE this hire if it turns out true.  

Ditto, I might just have to bump up to Club level to watch some of this.

Call me an optimist, but I don't think this will take as long as some people think to turn around.  After watching Rice, UTEP, and UTSA this year, we can move up to the middle of the CUSA pack with an average quarterback and a new mindset.  Our side of the division is weak except for LaTech who loses their stud QB after this season.

I went looking for a UNC message board and found several but most had low traffic.  Only one really mentioned this (the others are too busy talking about the upcoming game) and didn't give any insights into Seth.  They only talking about how they would replace Seth if he left.
