Reeder and Reffett Fired

[TheColonyEagle]

This gives me hope for Littrell....

[MeanGreenTexan]

Crank up the coordinator pay and nab 'lil Briles (who will soon be looking for a job) and recently-released Todd Orlando from UT.

Words can not express the joy I'm feeling right now.  I'm so glad to be ahead of the coaching hiring instead of so far behind it like we were last year.

I can live another year with Mumbles, but these next hires have got to be out of the park to get me back on his side.

I'm still not sold on him, but this does give me hope that he's got the brass cheerios to do what is necessary.

Are we ready to combine this thread with the "Reeder and Reffett Fired" thread yet? 😋

[MeanGreenTexan]

Hopefully a $0 raise and 0 year extension for Littrell as well.   Gotta earn those Seth!

To be fair, this is likely the first time he's had to fire someone.  His previous staff replacements were from staff being hired away.

This is where it gets tricky doesn’t it?

My first reaction is Kendal Briles for OC,..and David Braun at NDSU for DC..

But whoever we get as DC has to understand what he’s dealing with in regard to our offensive philosophy.

Whoever it is I hope they all can get it turned around and I wish them the best.

I hear you.

But he doesn't seem to be messing around. As the leader of the program, this is what you want to see....

He's saying, "this isn't good enough....I'm making changes"

He didn't say "hey...this is just a blip, I've won 9 games here twice...and that's really good for UNT. We'll be fine...status quo."

I have always wished fired coaches or those that quit would have a "Mean Green Garage Sale" to rid themselves of un-needed polo shirts and sweatshirts.  I wonder how many of those items get put in the trash.

Gotta think Briles' offensive woes at FSU will cast a shadow on him regarding P5 interest.   
Briles needs to stay in or near Texas to ensure he gets the types of players that will work in his system, since the combination of Art Briles' and Mike Leach's offenses drive Texas High School Football now.
Of course, I bet Lane Kiffin wouldn't mind re-uniting with him either, so who knows?

As for Braun, I've gotta think Littrell probably wont go back to the "hotshot FCS coordinator" well again.   He got burned pretty terribly last time he did that.

I hope everyone who was complaining about the coordinators is now willing to up their ticket purchases/MGSF donations by 10%. 

If you want a big boy program you better help out with the big boy prices.

Big eye roll. Wren keeps upping the donations automatically. 

[untbowler]

now when can we expect Langston to be shown the door, his OLines have been horrible

Hey man, you wouldn't have to buy some many tickets if you weren't part of the quiverfull movement.

Any chance Harrell comes back if he's gone from USC?

Why?  More money has never meant better quality.

If you bring in Orlando quickly, you possibly have inside tracks on some of the recruits he had in at UT that aren't 5* guys, that he can maybe flip to come here to sign before early signing day.

He wants the the UT OC job.

A lot of people demand accountability from everyone except themselves.

I am cool with donations ... just not the used car salesman tactics of parking $600 per game when the lot will be empty anyhow. That is all. I don't think that white lot parking is going directly to a coaching hire. 😉 But the use car sales style tactics does turn people off.

Did NT get some sort of bargain taking Reffett and Reeder ?  I was not aware that lack of money for assistant coaches and coordinators was an issue.  We got a late start last season because the head coach was distracted.  Waiting may have caused a lack of choices but I never heard that lack of money made us settle for second best.
