Man, there's a lot of football to be played before this kind of scenario can be taken seriously

But it's in Lubbock!  LUBBOCK!  What's there to do in Lubbock beside sit around and wait to die?

Neal Brown...former offensive coordinator at Texas Tech and is 1-0 against Seth Littrell. You can also add a signature win against LSU in there as well. How is he not the front runner in this case? So

I feel a little bit better about this, given SL's new salary and buyout clause.

KK makes 3.5 mil.  Littrell is making about 1.4, with a large buyout.    It could happen.  But, I am not sure Tech will be willing to make that move if they have other options.

Hopefully Tech will have a good year and KK will stay anyway.

What happens when a failed regime is booted?     
You go after someone EXTREMELY similar (former Leach guy, former same-system QB/WR) correct?

No, in most cases, people knee-jerk & go a different direction.  A defensive guy.  A balanced attack instead of spread. etc...

Kingsbury is way too close to Littrell in terms of who they are as coaches.   And Kingsbury/Harrell... virtually the same dude.   Something tells me the boosters would not go for it.

I would honestly be MUCH MORE concerned about Kansas than I am about Tech.
That is, unless Littrell just blows the lid off of this season & if that's the case, he'll have more than just Tech wanting him.

He would have to take that Tech job if offered.  That's just the bottom line in my mind.  They would double his money and the buy-out is chickenfeed still for a program with their resources.  I think our better hope is that Tech decides they want to focus more on defense after Coach Bro and hires a more defensive minded coach...

What would be a bigger job for Littrell?  Is Kansas a better gig?  I don't think so.  His dream job would probably be OU but Riley could stay there for decades.

I hate that we will have to deal with interest in him all season but you know what, it is much better than McCarney and Dodge who had zero interest from other schools.  Such is the life of a G5!

I believe this to be more true than Lawrence, KS.   
At least in Lawrence you can always go to Allen Fieldhouse to watch future NBA All-stars play during the winter/spring.

 While I would hate to see him leave I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that with this athletic director and the administrations support behind him he will make something good happen if this was to come about. Is GH ready for the HC job? If Wren offered it to him you would think he would take it over the OC at TT.

As long as we keep Wren and Smastrek I am confident that we will not have that big a let down,  should Seth leave.

"Look out for these names if Texas Tech decides to fire Kliff Kingsbury after the season" via @SportsDayDFW http://p.d-news.co/t4dh

The worry here is that Tech gets SL, GH, and Joel Filani all at once since the last two are Tech alums...

Would GH be our next head coach or would we want to do better?  TT needs to break out if the typical coach search and go for Kiffin!

No chance in hell Coach Littrell would go to Tx Tech!

Coach Littrell is a much smarter guy than to choose something like Kansas or Tx Tech to hire on at. Geez! I will be seeing  the Littrell speculation all year!

If Coach Littrell wants to leave North Texas he will pick his own  choice of a program

instead of what the talking sports guys dream up.

I think TX Tech would be better served to go after Sonny Dykes.  Son of the great Spike, grew up out there, been successful away from the cotton fields, etc...  The DMN article is just to throw shade at UNT and get you all up in arms since the DMN loves all things smuT.  Sonny Dykes makes more sense, and he is an alumni of TT.

I see three automatic wins for them (Baylor, Kansas, Lamar). Coach Bro is going to have to win 8 to keep his job I would think. I dont see where he is going to find the other 5 wins at. 

Toss up Games: Ole Miss (Neutral Field, Houston), Houston(Lubbock), Texas (Lubbock), Iowa State (Ames). If Texas still hasnt figured it out, Tech could very well steal this one and the Iowa State game in Iowa is always a tough away game.

 

Coach Bro is gone unless he can pull a Rabbit out of a hat and win some games.

With the amount of money we're giving Littrell, if he were to leave, I'm fairly certain if we kept that same kind of salary up for a new guy, we could have the pick of just about any P5 coordinator.

Agreed. This is why I can’t understand the dissenters faction related to Seth’s new salary. It’s as much for Littrell as it is announcing to the football community at large that UNT is serious as a program. We comp $1.2 - $1.6 for a head coach at our level and you’re going to consistently have an amazing candidate pool.

Another reason to not worry about losing him if he bolts.   
Even though our hearts don't want him to & come up with every possible excuse as to why he would NEVER take a job at KU or some other lowly P5 that would fire their coach.   
Newsflash folks, if the program is in good shape/"desirable", they're likely not firing their coach!

Agree! After seeing this subject come up from several directions and posted in a few threads, my involuntary reaction just kicked in...

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      When The Portal Opens

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
