I hold Patrick Cobbs in very high regard. I have yet to post this story, so now seems like a good time.

This season near the end of the Incarnate Word game, and with a 2 and half hours drive in front of us, my wife and I headed out. While putting our seats in the trunk of the car, I realized the canvas back of my seat had fallen off somewhere along the way. These North Texas stadium chairs are no longer available, so I was intent on finding the backing. After tracing my step and not finding the item, I found myself at the entrance to Apogee. The ladies at the gate were very understanding of my situation, but couldn't let me back in the stadium with my ticket that had already been scanned. Out of nowhere, Patrick and his wife stepped up and handed me one of their club level tickets. What wonderful people that truly love and support our athletics. They are great representatives of our university and Patrick certainly has the credentials to coach our running backs. I would be beyond enthusiastic if Littrell were to hire Cobbs.

Does he want to? Isn't being a D1 football coach way more time demanding than a high school coach?

Depends who you work for in HS.  But pay is much more for position coaches... it’d be worth it for him

Only if you see him as an OC here if Graham leaves after next season and Seth stays.

How do you figure??? Some of the most well paid asst Hs coaches dont make 70 a year.... he’d be close to doubling his pay as RB coach here.

Job security.  The bump in pay is great but it could be just for one year if Seth leaves. And what is the over under on how long Seth stays, three to four years or less?

If SL has a successful enough year with PC on staff to land a top P5 gig, it will almost certainly be good for PC.  Either (1) SL takes PC with him to new gig (most likely, based on how things went with K-State), (2) PC gets hired by a new UNT HC, or (3) PC gets a coaching gig somewhere else.  Once he's been admitted to the college coaching fraternity and continues to have success, he'll stay at that level until he decides he doesn't want to do it anymore.

That said, if he wants to stay in Denton long-term, staying where he is might be the better option.

I don't think he is ready to be a head coach in the next few years.  Since he is coaching high school players know I bet he will be a great recruiter for us and his NFL creds will work in our favor.  I could see him being our HC down the road.  He seems to be a great guy but we will see if he even applies for the job.

I think Herschel Sims would be the perfect hire for the RB position. Hes already on staff as a GA and knows the game well. I followed his career and we are lucky to have him. Players love him.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
