THE JUNE JONES CURSE

[meangreenbob]

..........or for you Religious buffs, “The Pride comes before the fall”

I’m pretty sure Seth Littrell has ruined his chances of real success at UNT.

Yes.  Also can someone tell me why do we always crap the bed in front of a huge crowd?  Pathetic.

We are, North.......never mind

When you start looking at the hot piece on the other side of the dance floor that’s giving you the eye and your long time GF is right next to you, you’re asking for trouble....

Interestingly, I talked with a former NT coach a couple weeks ago and he mentioned exactly this scenario. We were talking about how we expected the UNT-SMU game to be much closer than it was. He drew parallels between how after June Jones thought he was going to Arizona he was no longer fully invested and believes the same thing is going on with Seth Littrell after K-State.

This is spot on. SL made the decision to follow Mason Fine one more year and then ride off into the sunset. He knows that his future concerns for UNT are contained to the next few months and nothing more.

I wish AD's would grow a pair and flush this down the drain with concrete proof or hand out pink slips on the spot when it's sniffed out. It can't be tolerated by anyone at any place. But they schmooze and continue to play the game the way they were trained to play it...All in the intent of propping themselves up higher in the future. Bunch of nobodies.

FIRST OF ALL YOU NEVER NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS FROM A POSITION OF WEAKNESS LEST YOU PANIC WITH FEAR AND REWARD SOMEONE BEFORE THEY’VE EARNED IT.

Total speculation.  You all are also assuming that Jones and Littrell have the same character.  I don't believe this one bit.

Before the Houston game we were

15-5

in Apogee's top 20 attended games. Top 10 was 7-3

Honest question: Has Littrell been offered a position somewhere? 

I'd be shocked if he hasn't been contacted by someone, but actually offered?

How's June's inner city ministry coming along.  I recall he wanted to spend more time on that endeavor.  Just curious how that worked out for him.

[Got5onIt]

I think he’s got one foot out the door. Started during Bowl Week last season. NT goes to another Bowl game this year and he’s going to a lower rung P5 program....

If it's going as well as his recruiting plan did then Dallas is recovering from a city wide crack epidemic right about now.

Seth doesn’t get an offer if he’s not successful this yr, so if all this theorizing is accurate he’d be entirely invested in success this yr.  That’s all nonesense anyway.  What’s hurting us most is: loss of Rico/Jalen, loss of GH (a security blanket for Mason), newer faces on defense (who are coming around by the way), and as of last week, special teams play.  And yes, I agree early Seth recruiting struggled - but why wouldn’t it when you go 5-7 after going 1-11 and not having an IPF, etc.  Hes put together solid classes lately, in spite of KState type rumors all the time.  We will be ok.

So, all three phases of the game?
