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?🌪

I'm at the Celina vs Argyle game tonight.  If I happen to see SL, maybe I'll bring this up.  GO BOBCATS!

Maybe we will hire Doug Meacham after he leaves and your 3 yr old report will finally be true!

Don't you mean "Brett" and "Whipsaw"?

SL if he stays another year or 2 will grow so many more fans due to his loyalty

If he turns down KSU to stay with us he will be a legend here forever. Even after he leaves for OU.

Also, did @Cerebus get tired of merging threads. This could easily be in the mega thread.

Vito's threads don't get merged, he has connections.

Haha I’ll take Whipsaw. Still like Bert Veto better than Brett.

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. 

[CaribbeanGreen]

He's still actively tweeting and recruiting, and Snyder hasn't officially retired yet. Right now it's all rumor. Far as I'm concerned, Seth Littrell is our HC well into the future until he isn't.

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

Not sure what you mean by suddenly...both were from yesterday posted right around the same time

If someone has bought a purple tie in any Denton men's shop within the last few days, we have our answer.

Vito get on that!

I know very little about any of this but......is it possible Littrell plans to stay here but won't say so because it keeps UNT in the news?

[FirefightnRick]

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.”
