He may not take the KSU job because he knows there will be a better gig later if he’s only patient now.  

He also knows he’s the only coach North Texas has had with a university’s divine trinity of ✅1) the President, ✅(2) BOR’s &   ✅(3) the AD all simultaneously functioning in a most positive way with the ✅ added bonus of having recently developed major donors the last 10 or so years fully supporting him. All of that may cause him to stay in Denton.  

🙄Minutes ago GMG.com had almost 500 visiting guests. Wonder if they are all personal friends of Dorothy & Todo?🌪

If he did not want the job he would have said something by now.   I think things are in the works for KSU. I hope we can keep the recruits here and other players. Seth buyout is about $3 million?  Sad that is chump change to the P-5 group.  KSU does not turn over coaches so it may be a career move for him. He will be the next Bill Synder in 35 years.  Good luck to him and the next topic who is up next for us.

i tend to agree that i think there is something in the works, but i also can't blame Seth for not saying anything since the job is technically not open.

Well, he wouldn’t technically have to mention Kansas State to put an end to it.

Of course, it ain't great when an alternate version of this graphic suddenly appears... and yes, we're all overthinking.

For years we’ve wished and wished for a coach that did so well that he was/is eventually hired away from us.....rather than us having to can him and struggle to buy out the rest of his contract.  

Well........we’re here now.  We have arrived.  This is EXACTLY what we want and I couldn’t be happier for North Texas and Coach Littrell.  I want him to move up.  I want him to take his next team to the play offs.  I want to see him beat Alabama or Clemson in a National Championship someday....as we ALL should want for him because it directly reflects the most positively on North Texas.  

Then hopefully the saying will become:  “Want to become the next Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher....Seth Littrell?  Then coach your ass off and become the next coach at North Texas and you just might get your chance someday.”

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I had heard one opinion that players is eligibility ran out and are no longer in schools could have a recourse to try to regain some eligibility. This is freaking ridiculous.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      On the surface, this seems bad for HS grads. Really good for P4s. If you are a HS senior, your chances of playing D1...baseball especially, out of HS is severely diminished. A D1 baseball coach has way better options now than taking a chance on a HS kid. The whole model has changed and it effects all sports. Think about football. The days of recruiting a kid and developing him are over. Saw in another thread about our incoming QB from Miami. Someone asked (and it's a good question): "if he was the back up, the Heisman candidate starter just left. Isn't it his job? Why would he leave?" Because that coach doesn't care about him. He's scouring the transfer portal looking for his next Cam Ward. (just like he did with the real Cam Ward). Chances are the Miami staff is looking for a bigger, better deal. If you're a D1 baseball or basketball coach, the talent pool of 21 year old, developed, experienced players just opened up. HS kids are going to get pushed out. The transfer portal is going to get crazier to. College players are going to be used, moved, basically traded... With NIL, players are going to stay in college longer too. Saw something the other day: Every SEC starting QB makes more $$ than Brock Purdy, a Superbowl starting 3rd year NFL QB.
