Reeder and Reffett Fired

Pull the other trigger now...

Love it. I was afraid he would be here at-least another year!  I bet we spend some $$$ on co ordinators!

Kinda surprised on this one. I was not a Reeder fan, but I thought first year FBS jitters would get him a pass. 

Wonder if he was released by us or opted to go. He's virtually guaranteed a spot int he FCS circle

Seems like the board is going to get their wish. Feels like this is the start of cutting dead weight.

A change needed to be made given such a huge drop in production.

"Renfo cited his relationship with UNT offensive coordinator Bodie Reeder and how he would fit in UNT’s offense under coach Seth Littrell for his decision to commit to the Mean Green."  from the DRC, Brett Vito

Seems like Renfo knew last week... 

 

[TheColonyEagle]

something seemed off all year...

We didn't run the offense Reeder ran before...

Don't know why. Pure speculation on my part, but it sure seemed to be a dysfunctional match: Littrell and Reeder.

Our offense was never locked in this year

I thought for sure the hammer would drop on Reffett first.  I didn't expect this for Reeder since it was only his first year and he was a late season hire.  But I like the aggressiveness and that it seems like they aren't playing around.

Lol and everybody wanted Harrell gone....karma

@ipd054 great find.  I think you are spot on with this.  He knew.

Reeder in hindsight was a TERRIBLE hire.

It makes sense for our potentially next 4 year starter build the right relationship from the front with a good coordinator.  Reeder might have been good and just had a weird chemistry with Mason.  We won't ever know.  You can't have that talent and only coach him to 4 wins.  Man, chemistry is fickle.  I see a young up and comer joining Seth's team to lead this vital side of the ball.  It is after all the face of Mean Green football.  This will be good for Seth too.  He needs freshness on the staff like the players do.  I saw a lot of happy faces on the sideline this Saturday.  The coaching staff was having to get them riled up to match UAB's emotion on the other sideline.  They immediately went from having socializing having fun to being back dialed into the game.  Strange.  We almost derailed the West Champs.

Short timing routes were our bread and butter on first and second down and those disappeared with the Reeder hire. We were always facing 3rd and long, and we didn't exactly have a dominating OL that could block efficiently for that. Mason was trying his darndest and getting killed for it.

Hell yeah, great news. He will land on feet again at the FCS level. We need to make a splash hire, or just let Littrell call plays next year.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Wow so he’s gone before Reffett? Interesting.

Well I hope we don’t lose anyone, but it’s interesting that Renfro left and then Reeder

It doesn't take 'knowing' to see that life under that OC would be terrible. Even with the 'relationship.' 

Renfro knew we were a dog this year. We are not reloading - we are rebuilding. He can go elsewhere and have a easier time with it.

He wouldn’t be starting here for several years at best anyway, so a rebuilding year or 2 wouldn’t affect him.  

[TheReal_jayD]

Both have been let go.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yup. I hated all the window dressing we did. It was detrimental. Double fake handoffs 8 yards behind the LOS was fooling no one and all it did was give the pass rush more time to disrupt the play and so many times it seemed like Mason was throwing from 10 yards or more behind the LOS. Just a hard product to watch all year.

Unfortunate that people had to lose their job....BUT....it clearly wasn’t working.
