Dumb move by ECU.   Wonder if they'll go after Lincoln.

If South Carolina doesn't get Riley then ECU would be an obvious choice for him and probably a great fit.

Now this makes me a little nervous. 

The thing that makes me nervous is if we have a "handshake" deal with Littrell, it's not binding at all and he could he can go to ECU if he wants. Ask Mark Cuban how his handshake deal with Deandre Jordan worked out.

From @zach_barnett of footballscoop.com:

"The ECU news makes me think a certain school in north Texas may want to go ahead and lock down a certain candidate. Just to be safe."

I'm sure Littrell has inked his NT contract. Otherwise, Meaches would've been announced last weekend.

This is why we need to shit or get off the pot on Littrell. I fear that he is going to go somewhere else and I know there are a bunch of you that say calm down but For the longest time that I have been a UNT die Hard, what can go wrong, will go wrong.

Dumb question here: If Littrell is still under contract to UNC, can he even sign a contract with UNT or are we talking about a "handshake" deal?

Littrell probably requested it out of respect for UNC & his peers & players. No distractions for a huge game come Saturday. Could you imagine the local fire Littrell would be under if the coaching hire came out and UNC gets blasted by Clemson? That's a huge bridge burned. I'm sure we'll hear an announcement post-game.

We knew the risks involved in waiting on someone... This is what you get. He may have already signed something, but honestly none of us know that. I said a couple days ago I'd give the president the benefit of the doubt on this one and I really, really hope I'm right. ECU im sure would love to have him.

A sentiment I expressed on Tuesday...

I am sure ECU would go hard after Lincoln. They would be dumb not to.  ECU is a fantastic program. And I am sure Lincoln would heavily consider it.  ECU fans love the guy.

he wouldnt go there after the just fired a very close friend. JMO

      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?
