and a tough place to win at since 98'

And we aren't? 

I have no doubt that Littrell is a done deal.  I'll be shocked (and extremely disappointed) if he is not our next head coach.

I have no more information than anyone on this board.  In my opinion all signs point to him being the guy.

Just because you have a Magic 8 Ball doesn't mean you have more information than anyone else...

You're right, we're lucky we went with Benford...

The board is going to be busier when North Carolina plays than it was for any UNT games this season

Yes I have.  It won't be Georgia, Maryland, Miami, Mizzou or Virginia. Those teams want current head coaches. He won't get a P5 job. Tom Herman was the best OC last year and only got a G5 job   Memphi

Toledo isn't a rebuild job and is in a similiar conference. Tulane is a better job in a better conference. 

Don't forget we have the worst talent in FBS right now, and a host of locker room and AD problems. We truly are the largest train wreck in college football right now. 

For that reason, I think just about any job outside of ULM could be considered a better job, especially for a first time head coach. 

You better hope he is already locked up. 

So Littrell helps beat Clemson you think he jumps over a lot of those names I threw out?

I just don't see it. 

Yes Toledo is a better job but he has no ties up there and they probably won't pay like us

 

Tulane may pay like us but it's only a slightly better situation and probably tougher to win

Wow, how we have fallen. Good season for them or not, I would never consider a job in Denton below Toledo.

The past 2 coaches there have ended up at P5 schools. 

This. It's built as a stepping stone job.

We aren't and never have been.

Plus, they are just getting into the hunt.

Apparently he jumped over a lot of those names with UNT...

His name is now out there as a head coach candidate. If he drops 45 on Clemson, you never know who could come calling. 

But the main point was never offend your #2 candidate until #1 is safely under contract. Maybe that's what happened and Meacham was told yesterday and we just let him withdraw his name to save face. If not, it's a misstep, and possibly a very major one.

LOL.  I just didn't want anyone to think I had some inside scoop that was contributing to my confidence that Littrell is a done deal.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say chambers was the guy all along and all this dog& pony show was to get our name out there during the Baylor-tcu game and the Clemson-NC game. It's the kind of crack pot idea you would expect from here and this AD

Can't believe you all are missing the "win-win" of the ACC Champiomship Game.  Clemson wins, we get Littrell.  UNC wins, we get Sweeney.

The only way I see that happening is if it's a VERY CLOSE shootout game and he orchestrates a 2-minute-or-less offense for a last-second comeback win.

Something like UNC: 56, Clem: 55

I think that would open a ton of eyes.

UNC with 35 points and 350 yards of offense ... at the half.  That would open some eyes.

I really can't see Fedora forcing anyone to stat past the conference championship game.  He already has two OC's who report to Littrell, good time to see if either will be THE OC next year.

I would think a national championship would not really be the time you want to audition a new OC though.

i will assume this was done right since the smatresk was involved.  No way they announce a final 2, then sit and allow one to remove his name without a deal signed.  I would hope smastresk and a committee would be better than that.  A deal has to be done at this point.  Looks like meacham had a chance to steal the job, but it was Littrell's to lose.  

Just to clarify, I am pretty sure UNT has never mentioned any names at all, much less announced anything. Everything is "sources" and rumors.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

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

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
