Two years ago who would of thought UNT would fire a coach mid way in the season and eat 2 years worth of salary? Two years ago who would of thought UNT would be hiring an OC from a top 12 ranked team and not a position coach?

The change that has taken place is Prez. Smac!

Why not North Texas~

Yes he call their plays, but there are two OCs at UNC and he is not one of them. 

He is the play caller and manager of the two OCs... this is discussed all over the board.

You must be an RV supporter.

He is above the Co-Offensive Coordinators, Assistant Head Coach for Offense. In business terms he is the VP of Operations overseeing 2 Operations Managers.

Ha! Yes, I furnished the plane that is carrying the "I Love RV banner!"

If you would like to learn more about Seth Littrell, click on the link, or possibly consult your local library (the more you know logo flying over my head at this time)

As you can see by reading his profile, he's the assistant head coach for offense, which means he is calling the plays. Additionally, he was responsible for the offense which kicked ass. If you reference his 2011 Arizona teams where he was either Co-Offensive coordinator and full coordinator, Gronk and Nick Foles, both NFL players, were putting up ridiculous numbers under his guidance. This guy is legit, and you're wrong.

Until I see a signed contract and an official press release, I believe nothing, and therefore have no opinion on this person whatsoever.  History dictates so many twists, turns, and last minute changes that I still believe anybody could be the ultimate hire.  For all I know at this point, it could be Karen Aston.

Not to demean him, but Littrell is not the OC at UNC. He is a position coach.

Yes he call their plays, but there are two OCs at UNC and he is not one of them. 

At Texas Charlie Strong hired Joe Wickline as Offensive coordinator and o-line coach because he had a buyout in his OSU contract for lateral moves. The promotion in-name-only allowed Texas to hire Wickline without paying OSU the buyout. Subsequently, it has gone to court because it is common knowledge that Wickline does not call the offense and never has. The original head of the offense was Shawn Watson. His title? Assistant Head Coach for Offense.

It doesn't matter but Jay Norvell, the wide receivers coach is calling the plays now because Strong took that responsibility away from Watson after their dismal performance against Notre Dame.

Point of the story is, Littrell is in charge of the offense at UNC.

Why exactly?

He is clearly the better candidate between himself and Littrell.  These arguments that the Texas ties are irrelevant do not make any sense.  He is a DFW guy to the bone and is being saught after by plenty other schools as well.  His name has been dropped in Missouri opening, Houston as a contingency in case they didn't get the Herman deal done, etc, etc....

Look, Littrell has done impressive things...but he is nowhere near the fit that Meach would have been.

littrell has more experience than meacham at the P5 level. Teams have been more impressive. And being from Oklahoma and recruited texas at all his stops I still think he has texas ties and more impressive recruiting record than Meacham.. and being younger and energetic and a ton of connections he will be fine. Let try and be positive

Those ties are much more dried up at this point than Meach's...I have nothing against Littrell, I just can't believe we didn't get it done with Meacham....I really can't.  I'd love to be positive but this is just crazy to me.

Seth's resume is awesome. He was obviously more impressive with the interview than Meach. I think this was Meach's job to loose and he did.

After Mac I think youth is also a big pluse.

Watch the videos and he says over and over again about  changing and adapting the scheme to his players talents.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
