3 best candidates to replace UNT head coach Seth Littrell

[jbrown34]

 

We all know the current situation Seth Littrell and the UNT Football team are in, currently sitting at 1-6 the Mean Green would have to win out to qualify for a bowl game. This puts UNT in a weird position, because Littrell's big contract, firing him means a 2 million dollar buyout. With a looming conference change, UNT is probably wanting a fresh start. Down below I've listed 3 strong candidates that UNT should go after to replace Littrell, to start the American Conference era on the right foot. 

 

 

 

Doc Hudson 

 

The Hudson Hornet knows one or two things about winning. Doc won the Piston Cup three times in his lengthy Racing Career, he also holds the most wins in a single season (16). My favorite thing about Doc is his leadership ability, in Lighting McQueen's 2015 final race for the Piston Cup he put together a group of cars with no experience. They almost won but McQueen opted for sportsmanship over winning the big race. Doc can bring a winning attitude to the athletic department and the Mean Green football team. His track record is flawless and reminds me a lot of Tom Landry. 

 

 

Jon Gruden 

I know you are probably thinking "why would we want a guy facing so many allegations" well two words.... Super Bowl. Imagine the next person to coach the Mean Green has won a Super Bowl. Bringing a NFL level coach to the American conference would give UNT such a great advantage. Gruden probably has no interest from any NFL or D1 athletic program, so this is our time to pounce. People will forget about what happened in the past month with Gruden by the time the season finishes. Ride Littrell out for the rest of the season then snag Gruden. 

 

 

George Dunham

Former Mean Green play by play voice for 20 years and morning show host at the Ticket needs to make a change from the brodcast booth to down on the field. Dunham screams UNT, donors would have no problem paying him a contract like Littrell. The one thing that separates Dunham from the other two candidates on this post is his ability to keep a listener. With that ability he could change the culture and gravitate the players towards him. Dunham is a no brainer for this job.

HAHA LOVE IT!!!!!!

Here's one to add to your list, just have someone on ESPN say "I'm not sure Deion is ready for the jump to the FBS or has what it takes to run an FBS program right now" and he might be banging down the door to take the job!

Would take him in a second. He would bring in great coaches and within a couple of years we would have Top 40 recruiting classes.

If we could snag Doc Hudson that’d be crazy. Really created a winning atmosphere in Lightning McQueen.

Yeah...but no.  He didn't want anything to do with Lightning McQueen.  We need a coach strong in the talent evaluation department.

Although he was pretty good at fixing McQueen's mechanics.  So a plus on the development side.

Let's see. his 2021 recruiting class was 55, our CUSA best class was 78. Guess their parents know him and had enough influence

One of the few players that can be in the same convo as Joe Greene.

I think when/if he leaves Jackson he will have his choice of many P 5 jobs

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Gruden as Strength and Conditioning, and Jub as HC. Sounds like we will have a legit staff

How could you not put this guy on your list???:
