I think as fan we need to get behind the new coach and know things won't  change much in one season.  However I hope he can do better than 1-11 his first season.

They play at 7 tonight , why couldn't be an early game>>>>>>>>>>>>

A great hire for this University.  I've been impressed with Coach Littrell since his name came up.  The only ones who won't like this hire will be other C-USA coaches and programs.  Thanks go out to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it happen.  GMG!

Was Coach Littrell on the press box / sideline when NT beat Indiana ?

No.  Kevin Wilson brought him in the following year, when IU jumped from the 97th-ranked offense to 51st (the following year they would jump to 25th under Littrell).

If it's true, welcome Coach Littrell.

 

GO MEAN GREEN

We beat them in '11. We lost to them in '14. He was there for '12 and '13 so he never faced us there.

Not true, Harry.

There are several of us who wanted a proven head coach who has won in challenging circumstances.

I am glad we got our first choice, but I question if the first choice is the right choice. 

As do several others.

I hope he was our first choice. Mac was a somewhat proven headcoach who had won in a difficult place and that didn't help. We got a proven offensive mind who will attract solid recruits. This is a good thing.

^ This. Coaches and philosophies can change the entire face of the program.

Well let me put it like this... the C-USA coaches hoped and prayed we would keep with Mac.  His philosophy and recruiting made their lives very easy.

Now we can hopefully move most of the discussion to the assistance hire thread and the recruiting forum! I am so excited! 

I just graduated last year, and didn't have a chance to join MGC, but I will be this year and seriously considering season tickets!

Harry, there will always be people that say "we should have hired the other coach".

I was hoping for that, too, but Seth Littrell is a step up from the coaches we've hired in the past in terms of his résumé. He has built exciting offenses at each stop in his career and has four years of Texas coaching experience (as a Texas Tech assistant) and an Oklahoma background that may help us bring some players across the Red River. It's a risk to go with someone young who has never been a head coach, but he's been an OC for five years and the numbers his teams have produced on that side of the ball are impressive. I won't say I'm 100% on board, but I like enough to stick around for next season despite the ass-whip of an AD who's still running the show.

Fans should be concerned that Littrell won't have the best chance to succeed with RV around. He's got a way of doing things that has not produced success on the field and has not built a strong base of fan support. I think the best course of action is to pair the new leadership in football with new leadership at the AD position.

      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?
