Tech's board is saying both will be announced as new members of Tech's staff.  Harrell as OC and Mainord as WR coach.  

 

My friend from Tech says no one that is usually in the know has confirmed.

I think if it was going to happen it would have already. Not to mention I'd stay put if I were him. Their head coach was a few points away from walking papers. I'd hate to move out there just to start looking for a new job.

Would be surprised if he made the jump to Tech since Kings could be gone after the year

The move would make sense though if he thought that Kingsbury would be gone after this season and Littrell would be the HC there.

If they fire Kingsbury then that is likely because this season went badly for Tech. That is likely to reflect on everybody who is present. If they lose 6 games again, that is unlikely to convince convince folks at Tech that the OC who lost those 6 games is great and has what it take to be the new HC. If they have a rebound season, Kingsbury will stay.

On top of that, hiring Harrell would certainly remind people extremely of the failed Kingsbury hire (alumn, hot shot OC with an otherwise somewhat short cv when it comes to becoming a P5 head coach). Usually programs overcorrect after firing a HC.

I agree with several here: Replacing Mainord may actually be a bigger problem for UNT.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      I said this before, regarding football, but the transfer portal is just killing my joy for college sports. I quit CFB a few years ago--it just cost too much and it took too long. CBB isn't long for my fandom even though it's my favorite sport to follow. I could handle the fact that coaches could leave they wanted-it made sense. I don't like NIL but I understand why its there, but its easy to exploit and declare it "legal" to pay. But the portal is the ender. A brand new team every year, basically, if you have any success from the season before...its just impossible to support it with any kind of logical approach as a UNT fan. And this isn't even counting the ways the university actually acts about our teams, as well.

      NBA benches are also filled with...checks notes...10 NBA basketball players. there's a pretty big difference in calling down Dwight Powell and trusting he can contribute after a string of DNPs than asking the same of Brock Vice

      I think it was pretty telling that when Massie was out only Stone got the spare minutes. Stone was a trusted part of the '23-'24 rotation (30 GP, 14 minutes/game) and then completely fell out of the rotation last season (16 GP, 5 minutes/game)...so it didn't appear Hodge had much "senior-loyalty" to get him minutes... maybe, just maybe Mason wasn't actually ready to contribute last season.

      1. I understood your point, that's why I noted that you were making a valid argument in regards to having players ready to play. 2. Definitely cherry picking. Let's go to Google so everyone is working off of the same definition: A basketball team's "rotation" is the group of players who are most likely to be on the court during a game, as opposed to those who are primarily bench players 3. I feel like that is rarely, if ever, seen in college. 4. When you win your NCAA tournament games by an average of over 23 points per game, you probably had a lot of games that bench players got extended minutes.

      Players changing every season is the part that hurts programs that need to build fan bases. Fans “buying into” a program takes excitement over seasons of watching the same players. You follow the Mavs to see Luka. It’s an investment as far as buying tickets and donating and getting friends to come, etc.
