Good that @Brett Vito confirmed this for everyone but as per the usual it was posted on GMG yesterday.

more good news this week🤨

[MGNation92]

Mike Bloesch, a former O-Line player, who's only coached O-Line at the collegiate level, is now our QB coach.

Absolute joke of a head coach. Who in their right mind does this?

"Hey Coach, I know you're really good at teaching kickslides and hand placement for blocking. Now you're gonna teach high-low progressions and how to throw the football from various angles"

wow, SL defenders good job, you get what you get. 

Maybe he can hit 6 next year with an easy schedule.

If this coming season is not a total disaster we should count ourselves extremely lucky.

Seth is a joke. I’m sure he had a chance to get a quality qb Coach but here he go with another lazy hire. I don’t even think he interview . He just goes by connections

My bad, I was wrong and I admit that, I hoped he would actually make the effort to save his job with a high profile qb coach hire but he is clearly mailing it in. What quality quarterback with any sense would commit to be coached by an offensive line coach? This news is f’ing disgusting.

Clements is another Briles guy. At first I was excited at the prospect of running the Briles offense. Now I'm just beaten down by the thought of watching it done poorly

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

It's amazing. For a coach on the hot seat, I expected Seth to try and knock it out of the park with a homerun QB coach hire and blaze a recruiting trail. Yet here he is, making lazy hires, losing our best talent and replacing them with non-D1 quality players, and acting like a coach that doesn't care. The state of our program is embarrassing.  Bet we got 1-3 in our OOC schedule next year.

FIRE SETH. ALSO FIRE WREN! THIS IS HIS CLUSTER F

This program is turning into a freaking joke!

[southsideguy]

Just hire Briles and get it over with,  I don't think it would hurt our attendance any and sure we get flak but who cares anymore.  NCAA football is the new Wild West.  Hire the gun slinger and send the dude packing.

This is disappointing. I get the feeiing Bloesch doesns't want to coach OL! This was the chance to hire a younger coach that had played ball at the higher level with streets cred. A Choice type hire had to be out there. Clements is solid for OL.

This is not against Clements. It would be one thing if we had strong QB play and development - WE HAVE NONE!
What, by any stretch qualifies MB to be a QB coach? Tired of Seth's arrogance - You can tell he fees untouchable by his actions. But hey, Seth and Wren are getting paid - Screw the fans.

Former DE Jareid Combs sounds off on the decision:

Unless you are currently unemployed why a quality QB Coach take a one year challenge to work wonders with talent poor QB room and an unknown commodity as the OC?   Because if you don’t work wonders you won’t get to year 2.   This is akin to taking the Texans HC job last year.

Clements was at UNT all last season.

This is just so perfectly North Texas...

Smoke and mirrors by Seth and Wren - Keeps the fans thinking you are doing something because you think they are to dumb to know different

*whispers* I don’t HATE it. 
 

Here’s the deal, any QB coach worth a damn was not going to come here without assurances that Seth would be here long term. And I think we all agree barring a miracle, he won’t. Have to imagine that Quinn (if he returns) will be heavy involved in QB coaching.

Agreed.  It's almost as if we have become the Argentina for the prior Baylor regime.
