Bill Elliott, the head coach at Celina, has gotten to know Littrell, who helped recruit his son to North Carolina, over the last few months. Nathan Elliott is a freshman with the Tar Heels.

"He likes coach Littrell," Bill Elliott said of his son. "He thinks he is a great coach and a lot of fun. They run a wide-open offense with a fast tempo. They are so productive. There is a lot of excitement to it."

UNT is close to finalizing its decision that could bring Littrell -- and that excitement -- to UNT.

If UNT settles on Littrell, he would likely not be available to have an introductory press conference until Sunday at the earliest. North Carolina plays Clemson on Saturday night in the ACC title game.

I don't know how much more of this back and forth I can take or unknown. I'm finally at a good places with Littrell or Meachum.The only problem is im half waiting for the other shoe to drop or something to go wrong. I'm going  to blame my Only at North Texas bunker mentality for this.

I feel surprisingly good about all of it.   I feel this entire process is totally in Smatresk's hands and it's calming.  I am expecting announcement to be made Sunday.  For all we know Litrrell is already putting his staff together.

I wonder if daddy Bill Elliot would encourage his son Nathan, to transfer to UNT?

Nathan would be close to home, and would be coached by Seth Littrell !

A better question to ask:  would Bill Elliot want to coach his son at the college level?

Something feels wrong you just don't know what it is.

The fact that RV is anywhere near this hire?

The fact that we are North Texas and rarely get anything right when it comes to athletics? 

The fact that the last major hire (I don't count girls Bball as major) was Benford! 

There are hundreds more...

Not to be negative but my faith in our athletic director is limited although I hope the reports are true that Smastrek is leading the search and hiring I am stil on tip toes. I think most of us can agree if we screw this up as a university and don't hire Littrell or Meachum or someone similar pitchforks and torches aren't out of the question nevermind our MGC memberships.

Conversely, get it right and I'll be on the phone day-of, upping my contribution.

it's the smallest of the major sports, and probably doesn't even pay for itself at UNT.

The hires still count, and count more than Olympic sports. I just don't consider them on the same level as Football and Men's Bball.

Probably has something to do with the way I feel about women's basketball...

I'm good with that. Carry on.

Perhaps. Then again, for all we know the AD is just pulling his staff.

Dude if you get my hopes up even .001% only to be crushed.  I won't be able to help you.  It will be your job man.  :Zap:

      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?
