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.

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
