Breaking ---Third Coach P5 Poached (update: Derrick LeBlanc)

[TheReal_jayD]

I am hearing there is an additional coach that has been poached from UNT by a Power 5 school along with Brad Davis and Mike Ekeler.

 

More to come

Wow...3 to P5 in one cycle?  Has it ever happened?

Offense or Defense? I'm guessing Reff would be safe with getting the promotion to DC?

This proves Seth can not only find talent on the field. But also in the coaching ranks

Has to be Mainord, has to be.

I'm guessing the coaches left its really only down to Brooks, Mainord, or LeBanc.. Not sure that GH did enough on the offense side, and Fillani seeming unlikely

Crossing my fingers for Benford.

This is the position we WANT to be in. I'd much rather be looking for new coaches each off-season than wondering why we hired scrub coaches in the first place under previous regimes. This means that.

1. We are having some success.

2. Littrell is hiring good coaches that P5 schools recognize as good coaches as well.

 

ETA: Mainord was with Littrell at the NTX Football Coaches Clinic yesterday so if he is gone then he was snatched up today.

Yes very good but I think the worry should be now is about how does this affect the players in terms of development? With us losing coaches, has UTSA lost any coaches?

Looks like LeBlanc per Football Scoop

[MeanGreen13]

I assumed it would be LeBlanc... I hadn't heard about Ekeler leaving... say it aint so!

[B225]

this is getting crazy.

WELL F!!

Now with a potential 3rd spot opening up, who is going to fill them in? HS Coach from a prominent school?

[UNT Mean Green]

When is the last time UNT lost 3 coaches to Power 5 leagues?

LeBlanc's kid is a Senior at Denton Ryan. It would really suck for him to move a third time in his High School career. I know he had some ambition to play at UNT. He's a defensive lineman.

I pointed this out on the Twitter, but Mainord is getting paid $275 from 2 schools.

He has a $75K salary from UNT, while Kentucky pays out the rest of his contract ($200K) through June 2017.

And 3 Power 5 Bowl teams at that. I think this should be def viewed as a positive for Seth

Never happened to my knowledge.

[MeanGreen13]

This is insane... I believe it will inevitably hurt us should we have a better year next year because lord knows they will come running to the well once more. 

[Aldo]

Ok so we have to find awesome coaches for two of the most important position groups.

[BTG_Fan1]

Well I will say this... Having English and Ham-bone on the DLine and the # of OL recruits, these spots should be attractive to coaches
