Interesting thing at 12:30...not surprising at all that Cosh would be gone, but I still found it interesting that he says what he wants from the DC that he brings in.  He might boost some peoples' confidence up another notch with that statement without even realizing it.
EDIT:  The DC he brings in at the end of the day, of course.

Littrell keeps talking about the team being a family and having fun. He will be a players coach all the way. The issue will be where the "having fun" line blurs into "goofing off" and "losing control and accountability". If Littrell can manage that line then he should be fine.

I would too, but more important right now for me would be to get some videos for the players he has had commit.

I'd also love for Vito to get his cell phone, go stand by the Reddy Ice machine and interview some current guys to get a feel from the existing locker room.

I was excited originally about when Mac got hired several years ago but I dont think I was this giddy. I love hearing this guy talk and listening to how much he appreciates football. I think special things are about to come to this university

Recalling my initial reactions to McCarney VS my reaction to Littrell...  McCarney got me much more excited at first.  

He exuded confidence every time he opened his mouth.  I loved hearing about his time at Iowa,  I loved hearing about his time at Wisconsin.  I loved hearing him talk about his turnaround at IASt & his National Championship at Florida.   Little did I know, 4 years later, that same stuff that got me very excited about him was going to continually be brought up to the point of ad nauseam.

Littrell only has a fraction of McCarney's enthusiasm (at least, from what I've seen so far).  But I have a feeling I'm not going to be hearing him hang his hat on his past accomplishments nearly as much as McCarney.  Dude just seems very genuine and in-the-moment, which is absolutely a breath of fresh air.

The impression I get from Littrell is that he feels uncomfortable in this spot light.  Considering his age and being a first time head coach we should not expect anything else.  Even the suit he is wearing looks like it was bought before the plane ride to Denton.  The man is most comfortable on the practice field. The media attention is something he will get better at over time or he wont.  Win and he can personally ring my phone and call me a MFer and I will stil write another check.

what I took from those comments was the fun part was going to be the way they way and winning.

      Let’s start with Odom as our interim DC. I heard he was also interim DC for USC not long ago? Anyone know what’s his story?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!
