You see it in other football programs that become average, lifeless, and know it' time for that Head Coaching change. 

You can "Sense it in the air tonight".  "The Trill is Gone".   Make it happen Wren!

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. If football is a results oriented endeavor then why should we expect anything different from Littrell?

RV would’ve fired Seth after the Marshall game. Wren is not RV, take that for what it is worth.

I expect Seth to be fired Monday morning.

I don't know if you know anyone with a mind that never stops churning, with 15 different things going at once, but I'm that way and this comment about Monday morning turned into this "poem" --- there were a few twists and turns before it got to this but it was this post you made that kicked it off and inspired it.

The Night Before Christmas (UNT Football 2021 Version 1.0)

 

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the land

Football coaches were recruiting players high in demand;

The tweets and the snaps showed commitments so strong

Yet one school was wondering, “How did it all go so wrong?”

The truth could be seen but they hadn’t a clue, 

Keeping one coach too long, all the hell it would do.

From high in the perch a mighty Eagle did soar,

A blind one at that, though he could hear the roar;

“It’s over! It’s done!” mighty warriors did type,

Some began to wonder, “what’s he got in his pipe?”

But that Eagle was daring, courageous, and brave

Once known as Wren, he had a program to save.

With the sun now set on a season so poor,

Some wondered aloud “how much more, how much more?”

With the hopes built so high on a campus renewed,

Their patience with loosing was swiftly subdued.

For the coaches and promises didn’t last very long

Come Sumlin, Come Sanders, Come Morris or Strong

“We’re tired of loosing and singing this song.”

But as night fell on Denton, no answer was found,

The mighty Eagle was grounded, nowhere around.

“Monday morning, afternoon, evening or night”

The mighty warriors proclaimed with so much delight

“That coach will be gone and our faith be renewed”

As all through the weekend they toiled and stewed.

A new dawn would come but how long would they wait?

As one man alone would determine their fate.

For Eagles are mighty and never outnumbered

Except for the ones who recoil and slumber.

With expectations so high, there’s only one way to lose,

Take a week to decide, prod, and choose;

Who the new coach will be must soon be decided,

For In only one man can our faith be confided.

From Eagle to Wren is a long way to fall,

Merry Christmas and Wren, don’t drop the ball.

Guys we were in the middle of a national search for a volleyball coach.  How much can you expect one person to do?

Wren's "TO DO" list:

1. Hire new volleyball head coach. ✔️

2. Fire football head coach.

3. Hire new football head coach.

Seth is staying through 2023, so get used to mumbles.

I wanted him gone in the middle of the year, but there was no way he got fired at the end of the year, if we went 1-11. 

The fact he got a bonus for showing up in the bowl proves my point 
 

The bonus was in his contract

Nick Saben is the highest paid at &9.7mil

Could it be that Littrell and Baker are good friends?  Close in age and both with young families. How do you fire a friend? 

Screw your friend or screw the fans? That’s a tough spot to be in.

Keeping him another year is directly on Wren. This is the least excited I'll have been going into a season in a long time 

I would have had at least a bit of excitement for Littrell coming back if he had won the bowl game because it would have showed that maybe he had finally figured something out and we would have some momentum going into the new season, but he couldn't even do that.

2015 was really bad for me. This next season may be worse
