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? Sounds like DMN is trolling the North Texas fan base again. 

Exactly.  Can we focus on SMU!

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?

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

Littrell has an excellent gig in Denton, and is really just starting to see the fruits of his labor since being hired in December 2015. Those who know he and his family, it’s not all about the money with them. He has a certain quality of life, his family is closer than at any point in his career, and he’s a rockstar at UNT. He’s stated all along that this place can be a monster, and has yet to win a bowl game or championship.

There’s plenty of work left to do, and this guy is not leaving for a lower-middle of the pack Big XII job. He will stay here until the right job opens, and Texas Tech is not the right job.

IMHO......SL needs to win ethier the conference championship or win a bowl to get that checked off his to do list. TT and Kansas want the full package not just a up a coming high profile name.

From a Tech alum at my office...apparently Brown did not leave Lubbock on good terms and would be a stretch to heal/make work.

Didn't stop Arkansas from giving Morris $3.3M a year.  I'd argue SL has been more successful than Morris

that's actually a good point...

Don't know if I've ever seen a G5 coach turn less accomplishment into more...

I'd guess it was as much based on his OC history at Clemson.

Littrell has had more success as Head Coach, but Morris made more headlines as OC

His job as the Clemson OC and his rebuilding of SMU into a bowl team from being the worst team in the country in three years is very similar to SL being the UNC OC and rebuilding things here from the ashes in what amounts to be three years, as well.

I think SL is gone after this year if we win 8+ games. He doesn't have to win a bowl game or even a divisional championship to accomplish this. But if he does beat Arkansas, FAU, win CUSA West and/or a bowl opponent in 2018, the line forms to the left on who will want him at a power school. And I believe that Tech, Kansas, and UNC are all going to be calling him if we have the type of season that we all think we can have.

I will say this, though,--we have 4 wins on our schedule that are as close to automatic as you can get--Incarnate Word, Liberty, Rice, and UTEP. Wins over SMU, ODU, LT, USM, UAB, and UTSA aren't going to make the rest of the college football world go crazy for him if we get blasted by Arkansas and FAU and mix in a few bad losses to the group above and only get to 8 wins, the choices might only be a Kansas type opportunity. And this isn't out of the question at all if Mason gets hurt, if our defense remains a sieve against good passing teams, or we just don't close out wins late in games like we did last season.

I don’t get the call for Harrell to take over. He has two years experience as an OC and only 4-5 years coaching experience period. I think we can bring someone in with more experience.

How about we bring in Brown from Troy?

I agree on GH. I love him but if we are willing to pay $1 million plus we can probably get a proven head coach.

Agree on the GH opinion

No knock on GH, but I sure hope our list of replacements is much more qualified than he is at this point....

Lets say Litrell does what he wants to this year...wins a Conference Championship, Bowl Game, 10 Wins, you name it...Where do we think the salary ceiling is for us right now?  Could we go to 2mil? 2.5?   or do we even try at that point and let him go with a big damn thank you and start again at the 1mil range?

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!

And Dickey, and Simon, and Parker, and every other NT coach since Fry and Rust.

There will be some significant losses the year Mason graduates but we also have some highly regarded replacements, particularly at quarterback.  Heck, maybe Seth might want to stick around a little longer.

Word... Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mason stick around an extra year if the talent keeps building. He could just glue on a fake mustache

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.

Spot on. Arkansas went from an air raid guy to a power running guy and now to a spread option guy.
In a conference loaded with fling-a-ding offenses where you aren't going to be a recruit's favorite you really want to be like the rest of the league or do you want something that calls for a different type of player and different preparation?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
