Littrell's neighbor is currently selling their house. According to the listing agent, about a month ago Seth's wife asked her for realtor recommendations in Lubbock

So I'm reading other fan forums....reference TTech fan forums......talk about Seth Littrell

If there is fire with this smoke - at least he has a huge buyout this early in his new contract. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[MGNation92]

Remember his buyout decreases every year after this one, so if someone were to poach him after the season, we'd get the max buyout amount this year.

Unfortunately, this thread is going to crescendo throughout the year.

UNLESS - we tank intentionally to keep him. Thus defeating his genius and paying a lot for a losing record. 

We can do it! 

[TheColonyEagle]

I still say, when Mason Fine runs out on the field next year during senior day....Seth Littrell will be out there to greet him

Sucks.. But Seth is going to be poached from us at some point. Just keep winnig and promote Graham Harrell to HC.

I heard someone say that their neighbor's cousin friend acquaintance said something about something.

I just want to enjoy this year and worry about this should it come up later.

If history has shown anything....it's that when the house hunting starts...that's when it gets real

I think George Seifert just couldn't find one in Dallas with a kitchen he liked and Nick Saban may still be looking in Austin

Yeah, this stuff always starts with the "wife was house hunting" posts. 

[DeepGreen]

So maybe the wife is looking for a Summer home in Lubbock to escape the Dallas heat.  Oh, wait......

Is Harrell the automatic choice? I would think so.

[TheColonyEagle]

I like Graham Harrell. This is not a shot at him.

But why is he seen as such a no brainer candidate for our HC position if Littrell leaves?

Agreed.  I've always thought Mainord would be a logical choice if Littrell ever leaves, which I doubt.

[Withers940]

Here a brain scew:

Would Harrell go with Littrell to what ever school he goes too? Does Littrell pull a Jerry Maguire and...........

You doubt Littrell ever leaves?

Maybe when he retires.  

Power of Positive Thinking.

[HoustonEagle]

If I was the Littrell's my thought process would go like this:

The kids are are getting old enough that constantly moving them is more and more difficult.  

Would you rather raise a family in the DFW Metroplex and or in Lubbock? 

Lubbock is 7 1/2 hours away from Muskogee while Denton is 3 1/2 hours away.

Turning down 3 million dollars seems asinine but everything is in place to stay in Denton for as long as they want and current salary trajectory would have base at 2 million in the next few years.  

Now that it is proven that recruits and fans will come to Denton.  There is no reason to worry about waiting for a dream job to come up. Texas Tech is not a dream job.  


My intuition tells me if the Tech job is offered he will take it but for the reasons I stated above it is not a given.  

 

 

 

 

[UNTLifer]

I honestly don't know if he would take it.  Tech is a good school with a lot of cash, but what is there potential?  Will they ever overtake UT, OU, or TCU in the Big XII?  If there is a conference shake up down the road and UT and OU bolt the Big XII, is there a chance UNT gets invited should we continue our upward trajectory?  I know the tendency is to expect coaches to jump at jobs that pay more, etc... but SL strikes me differently.  There is something to be said about working for a supportive administration, BOR, AD, etc...  In fact, I think he has stated as much.  Why wouldn't he just stay and become our Patterson?

[Green Mean]

Clearly TT can money whip Seth compared to us so that is more than enough to get him out of Denton but couple of things to consider...if NT really wanted to up their game how high could we go to pay him to keep him a few more years more?  That and I would have to think there will be much better jobs he can pick from instead of going to Tech.  I don't think Tech will ever be much more than what they are now and will top out what Mike Leach did there which was really good but hardly a true threat to the big boys.  And you're going to Lubbock...no offense.  If Seth is a little more patient I have to think he'll get far better opportunities to choose from instead of TT.
