Well, whatever. Onto the next. It will be interesting to see if we do better in the second half of games next year or not.

All those who feared Harrell would be Littrell's replacement can rest easy now.

Who's to say he couldn't come back

Hope Graham is ready for the culture shock.

Marty · January 28, 2019

Best of luck to him!

Yea a past OC at Alabama probably wouldn’t cut it. Along with his past achievements at UH! GMG

Do any recruits decommit because he’s leaving?

all our recruits have already signed. They can't decommit.

Releases from NLIs due to head coaching changes are becoming pretty common now. Not sure about coordinator changes.

NCAA COULD SEE RECORD NUMBER OF NLI RELEASE REQUESTS WITH MAJOR COACHES LEAVING THEIR SCHOOLS

The drool coming off good coaches has to be substantial looking at what’s coming back next year.

“I can go to Denton and coach Mason Fine?”

We will have our choice of OCs

Moobs · January 28, 2019

Good job for GH! Hope he does well there.

The sky is definitely the limit for him there. Especially when you consider the last USC OC made the jump to NFL head coach. 😂

Major Applewhite?

If that's who Seth chooses then I'm happy ... but I doubt he chooses Major.

Having Applewhite as an OC would be an absolute coup, and a serious upgrade over Harrell.

untjim1995 · January 28, 2019

I'm just laughing at the fact that USC went from getting Kliff Kingsbury as their OC to now getting Graham Harrell. That's a rather steep drop, IMO.

NorthTexasWeLove · January 28, 2019

This is a blessing in disguise as a blessing. Good luck at USC.

KG was USC’s head coach in waiting at $3m a year. This will not be the case for Graham! With the Texas connections and experience as a USC OC I could definitely see him as a candidate for the future HC job at UNT! Is it important for us to hire an OC that has HC potential?

Wouldn't it be smart of us to be looking at OC's that may have HC potential? We will more than likely be going through all the Seth Littrell poaching drama towards the end of the 2019 season again (granted if we are ranked on top/towards the top, like we should be) - I could see Mainord being HC (I think), who I like, however, if SL does leave, the chances of him taking at least some of the coaches with him are probably pretty high. It would be ill-advised if we weren't already thinking ahead to the 2020 season. But, like others have said back towards the end of the 2018 season, Wren and Associates are probably already thinking ahead this way as well, as they should be.

Something to keep in mind if we do in fact hire Meacham as OC, was that he was a frontrunner(at least for RV) for the HC job when we hired Littrell.

Could be a potential succession plan there

I'm hearing Seth may go younger OC. And just be more involved in offense
