He's my main target when Littrell leaves.

If Littrell gets hired away while Brown toils at Troy, the writing will be on the wall: "I can't get out of here despite what I've accomplished... time to 'move up'."
And North Texas will provide that type of opportunity for him, while more than doubling his salary.

You think Brown would leave Troy for UNT?

Yes.  If he sees a guy he whipped 50-30 get hired away while he's stuck at Troy with no similar opportunities.

His buyout would be $2.5M after this season.

Great!  So we'd turn around and take Seth's $3M buyout and pay that for him and still have $.5M left over to throw at his assistants.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Brown currently makes $810k/yr.
With the "$2mil/yr" mark being thrown around here quite a bit, I certainly don't think doubling his salary to $1.62mil/yr would be too far-fetched ($200K/yr more than what Seth currently makes) & certainly wouldn't hinder him from coming.

[Wag Tag]

The only positive of Seth leaving would be to see what upgraded candidates would be interested in the job. If you look st the Grant hire it was P5 experience with head coaching experience! I think that is a great model for UNT. Brown stay in Troy Ala or increase salary and be in DFW! Phil Longo at Ol Miss from Sam Houston would need a look!

What Neal Brown has done at Troy is arguably more impressive than what Seth has done here. If we can swing the buyout that would be a great replacement for Seth. Surely Brown will go P5 after this year though. He’s only 38.

Listened to Sirius XM radio channel 84 today while they spoke about Tech dropping that game vs Kstate. Conversation quickly shifted to Kingsbury being on the hot seat. Then the convo shifted to his replacement. One name named: Seth Littrell.

If Seth leaves look at the coaches that are quickly becoming available.......😱

I love Seth. Hope he stays forever. But serious question here, why hire Seth over Neal Brown?

Seth isn't mentioned for the Colorado gig

Seth has done miracles at UNT. But guys there is a good list of got HC this year. I like our chances of hanging on to him 

 

Matt Wells Utah State is a hot name

Scott satterfield app state

Bryan harsin Boise 

Neal Brown all look above Seth in. Pecking order.

Oh I think all in all Brown probably has the better resume. Close. But probably a little better.

Exactly.   So if Seth gets plucked by someone before him, he'll know what he has to do...

[TheReal_jayD]

I am 100% confident in saying this. Neal Brown will be p5 head coach before Seth.

SL is as solid as Tom Herman (see #89).  #15 and #29 are interesting...

Lol @ Willie Fritz’s entry...  Almost a contender coach!  Maybe next year!

Everyone that thinks Littrell is a shoe in for Texas Tech need to understand what Tech did to Leach. Those kinds of actions can have long term effects on future hires if a prospective coach feels another coach was wronged.

[southsideguy]

If he calls the Pirate about the job, the Pirate will say don't do it they still owe me money and Lubbock sucks. The only thing Tech has over us is the conference they are in.

...or none.

theres always someone looking for a job. 

I don’t believe for a second that people will shy away from a coaching position.  Anywhere, ever. Not looking at this situation.  Not after watching how easily PSU kept their program going. They’ll all just huddle together and agree to “do it the right way.”

The Texas Tech AD has a weekly radio show on Lubbock's 97.3 stain.

Based on Wednesday's show... It sure sounds like KK isn't coming back. Season isn't over yet but he was really down playing defensive improvements and the injury situation.

So let’s just start a whole new fresh round of all this “Seth Is Moving On” tommyrot, ❄️GreenFlakes. 😱

Wow — Bohls is pretty legit.  This could change things.  

[PlummMeanGreen]

Seth may need to haul in 2 or 3 more 3 stars-inundated recruiting classes for his resume. If he does that in Denton folks in Manhattan & similar college towns will take notice.

GMG!
