Breaking News Seth Littrell has been fired.

[Cooke County Kid]

This shows a commitment by the administration to maintaining a quality athletic program in all sports, I am a little surprised but I believe Wren leaving sped up the timetable and I believe they already have a short list and I would not be surprised if SL’s replacement is announced Monday or Tuesday.   If not they might have really jumped the gun.

Gotta wonder how this will play right before the bowl game. Does firing him right before this help our chances? Can't be so sure... 

It doesn't really matter. The last game was the one we needed/wanted. The bowl games are a vacation, if it isn't one for the playoff. The big game was the conference championship.

Welp…. Maybe this was all Neal? This is gonna be quite a tale

Who else was on GoMeanGreen at the moment this news broke?

Addiction to this board has its perks.

Why did they have to do this on Sunday night?  
 

This news makes me want to go drink and celebrate new beginnings for UNT football but I have to work tomorrow. 😓

[Aquila_Viridis]

I have hope again! Suggest PC for interim.

It was time. SL will be fine.

I'm shocked. I was dead wrong on this. We don't have an AD... I can't believe we'd hire another HFC and saddle a new AD with him, but I guess we've done it before... though at least RV was still AD when he hired Seth. Hiring season is already on the back end though, so I can't imagine we hire the AD first, right? Does this mean it's Mosley then? Lots and lots of questions. 

It could be that Wren, Jared and Neil have agreed that Jared will be promoted and have already agreed on a coach.

That seems to be the only thing that makes any logical sense in the timing here

I have go to work at 7. I poured a glass of scotch to celebrate.  This is good news.  We are progressing as a program

That would be an interesting situation.

I am stunned by this given we have no AD. I thought for sure they would ride this out with Littrell.

I'd like to second what others are saying. Thank you, Seth. 

A very good coach, and in my estimation he will get a chance at a P5 job one day. But it was time to try something new. 

[zenhuddy]

Well the Leadership has made a statement today ! 
Finally 😎

[NorthTexasWeLove]

The absolute disrespect on Twitter from non-UNT people...

As if, how dare we fire a .500 coach at North Texas. 

But, then again, we have freaking alumni that will read this post that genuinely believe the same thing. 

[MeanMag]

I wish we could have gotten him hired away. Feels strange having to fire one of the best overall record coaches we've ever had.

[Pellom]

I wonder if we'll see Seth land at Tulsa now that they struck out with Barry Odom...

[CaribbeanGreen]

Is Bennett gonna wear pants now?

[dml7007]

Looks like it was the Pres!!!

If this is true, I genuinely wish him the best. 
 

He was no longer the answer for moving us forward, but he was a good man and I thank him for his efforts while here.  

Classy post Emmitt!

It's real!

Seth did a lot of good and elevated us to a program that is no longer satisfied to just get to bowls. In a way, his success partially caused his failure if that makes sense...

Well I hope the first thing the new coach says that “Hit 6” is no longer acceptable around here!

[Marty]

Best of luck to him in the future. Seth seems like a good guy, someone you'd like to have a beer with & talk ball. He did some good things here but it was definitely time for a change.
