UNT Monday night Coaching Update

JC could be named our HC and UNT90 would complain about the length of the contract.

Exactly. We get it already. You don't like RV.

Harry I think you hit the nail on the head. UNT90 is not going to be happy unless RV is gone - no matter who we hire.

Does he run the triple option?

[El Paso Eagle]

Does he run the triple option?

Not sure, but I hear he has one hell of a Hail Mary

[MeanGreenZen]

Another nail in the coffin for Meacham:

 

Somebody needs to lock Craig James in an electrical closet with his son and nine dead hookers.

[outoftown]

Does he run the triple option?

Not sure, but I hear he' managed some amazing comeback in only 3 days after everybody left him for dead.

Put Rudy in charge of securing the crime scene.

Another nail in the coffin for Meacham:

 

Craig James is prove that Football players indeed DO suffer brain damaging hits when playing.

This is all driving me to drink!!!!

Everything I have heard from people close to this said RV has nothing to do with this hire, he is a figure head AD only making only the press statements that Smatresk gives him to announce. 

I won't be completely happy either until RV is gone at this point. Knowing that RV did not have his hand in this makes me happier though.

Littrell is more of a recruiter than Meacham. He has also recruited from all over the country, including Texas, which is never a bad thing. He brought some rather impressive names to Indiana during his time there.

I like Littrell, but I think I'd still prefer Meacham.

Littrell probably is a better national recruiter, but we all know UNT isn't known for racking up airline miles to recruit players from across the country. Meacham would be better connected to the coaches and schools in DFW where we focus most of our recruiting efforts. Both have produced great offenses, but I like that Meacham has also done it at the lower levels in college football, where Power 5 talent is scarce.

Just my opinion on the hire.

[UNT Mean Green]

Littrell is an absolute slam dunk! 

[rws69]

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. 

+1's have been suspended for UNT90 until a new coach signs a contract

[greenit]

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 doing the things he needs to do to get things on track, all while building a file of examples of issues.  RV seems smart enough that he would get the message.  

In the past, I don't think RV's boss ever took as much of an interest in sports as Smatresk seems to take.  

[UTSA Fan]

I don't want this to end up a John Walsh hire and it sold as a proven winner with impeccable recruiting inroads.

[EagleMBA]

Not sure, but I hear he' managed some amazing comeback in only 3 days after everybody left him for dead.

[PerryG2480]

Unlikely, but I wonder if Littrell could lure Nathan Elliott back home?

not if he had some FCS experience.. all great coaches have that allegedly  

[eulessismore]

No, but the Holy Trinity wouldn't be the same without him.

Just my opinion on the hire.

I can definitely see the argument for Meacham.

No, but the Holy Trinity wouldn't be the same without him.

Don't we play them at Apogee in a couple of years?

[TheTastyGreek]

Not sure, but I hear he' managed some amazing comeback in only 3 days after everybody left him for dead.

OVERRATED. You said it yourself... JC was the original retread hire. If he was so great, he wouldn't have needed a 2nd chance to make that comeback. 

Granted... We need a miracle worker here. But can we really count on someone who needed maximum divine intervention to make his plan work? He wouldn't get those sort of resources here. 

Now, if you give me a prophet that's had to make do with less? THEN we can talk. We need a Zoroaster, a Nestorius, or possibly a Mahavira. But has RV so much as called a single one of them? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. 

[Mean_Green09]

Meacham does have DFW coaching connections, but he isn't the recruiting guru that some think he is. His success would be largely tied to what type of staff he can bring in. He'd have to bring in an ace staff.

Both Littrell and Meacham are great Xs and Os guys. Littrell is the better recruiter and has a higher upside. 

I'll take the guy calling plays for the most explosive offense in the country. Littrell

Glad you're starting to see this. He'll do just fine recruiting over here, even if his last job was multiple states away.

I'll be keeping an eye on that

[eulessismore]

I can think of another UNC coach who came to Texas and did pretty well recruiting further south on IH35.  I don't recall his having much history in Texas until then.

Didn't know much about him but the more I researched the more it seems like he's been the guy hitting the road recruiting for North Carolina. Nothing I've read indicates Meacham was a recruiter, but I was hopeful he could get Luper to come with him which may have been a long shot anyways. I wouldn't undderate the Oklahoma connections either, that's a largely untapped area for us that I think has been neglected by prior coaching staffs. What's your thoughts on that?
