OC wish list

My pick for OC is Tim Beck. He check a lot of boxes.

Seth Connection- Check. Was with Mangino at Kansas. Was with Ed Warinner at Ohio State and Kansas.

Play Calling Experience- Check. Has called plays at Nebraska, Ohio State and Texas

Success - Check. He has has offensive success at every stop. If you watched Texas this year offense wasn't the problem.

TXHSFB connection - Check. He has spent over half a decade as a TXHSFB head coach

Why would he come to North Texas? To get out of the dumpster fire that is currently UT football. He and Orlando were the scapegoats for the season that was on the 40 acres. His contract runs out after Texas bowl game. He has been removed a play caller. I believe coaches are prideful creatures and he would rather have an OC job than take demotion as QB coach. Even thought we are down on Seth at the moment I still believe in the NCAA coaching community Seth is still viewed as a rising star and on the up and coming. Tim could turn the OC job into another P5 OC job or potentially a HC job.

Welp back to the drawing board

Fedora not an option?

[agw0038]

did we actually have a chance at landing Beck? I just want to know, based on our pay range, who do we actually have a shot at landing?

[Cr1028]

Would hiring both Cumbie and Meacham be possible? I mean they did great things together at TCU and then they both kinda went down hill when they split.

I thought we had a shot if he wanted to stay in Texas and be an OC. Knew he would have to take a pay cut

I agree on Cumbie. At one point Texas was trying to hire him away as Oc. He got a big bump to stay. Proven OC and knows the area.

Since Air Force and Navy both just completed 11-2 season’s maybe go a little outside-the-box approach to success and go after one of their assistants?

I don't think their offensive systems match what Littrell is going to run.

Wtf are we doing... we take forever to hire people. Recruiting is still happening and the OC matters. Also most help needs to be the line and cant hire their replacements until the OC

[UNTLifer]

Just a thought/question:

Mainord has been listed as the Co-OC.  Any chance he is elevated to the OC along with SL calling plays and we just hire a QB coach?

I read somewhere that we are waiting for the bowl season is over, and it was posted as if it was the wise thing to do?

Then why are so others (TCU, FAU) not waiting?

Makes me wonder if we zeroed in on a preferred guy and are just waiting for the right moment, which also makes me think we didn't consider other options.

I really HOPE that the reason we havent heard anything is bc they already know who they are getting and are letting them finish out what they need to do at their current school.

Now that early signing is over... this needs to be priority number one to me. 

Want to make your on the fence fans jump off the wrong side... keep us in the dark on this and drag your feet.

At this point all the bowl games are pretty much done unless we’re getting someone from LSU or Clemson(doubtful). So to me that means that we are still interviewing. I’m surprised there hasn’t even been a leak in who has interviewed 

[southsideguy]

are  we still looking?   I don't know what is left to pick up.

[Wag Tag]

Is a QB passing game coach the best option as a position coach goes for an OC? Some have mentioned an OL coach as an OC.

[Graddean]

What about Moorhead from Mississippi State.  He had a very good reputation at Penn State?

So what was the deal with Simon. Was he that bad of a coach at NT, or did he loudly complain too much about the no-win schedule he was presented with every year?

This question deserves it's own thread.

We're going to let Cobbs be OC and run a combination of the old buick (Dickey) and wildcat (2008 Dolphins) offense. Think about it. We don't have a qb, but do have some talented RBs and WRs. It all makes sense now.

How do we know we don't have a qb, didn't see our backup guys play much but I am not sold on Bean as the starting qb at all.
