Hahaha! 

 

I remember those twins. They couldn’t step foot on the field without drawing a personal foul.

I'm happy the Murphy twins got the chance to move on to a place they wanted to be. I hope they are as thankful for the place that gave Littrell and Murphy's the opportunity to get to where they wanted to go. That is, after all, the purpose of the University...

I bet if you go to the Sooners fan forum they are calling for new coach after the season they had.

Well, let 'em hire SL if they think he's so great.

Talk about sour grapes.  He works for CUSA the conference we are leaving.

Yeah, maybe ask him to work on getting some decent refs for CUSA games.

It's easy for them to tell UNT how to spend money.

My wife (an OU grad, die hard OU football fan, SL fan, has family members that played for OU) said to me just the other night, "He's been there 7 years? That's a long time for not having accomplished much."

I’ve been saying this needed to happen….but I’m not going to jump up and down and celebrate. I’ve always said I seriously liked Littrell personally. He got us out of the mess we were in. He showed us what our potential is, he just couldn’t get us to the next level. He is an honorable man, ran a clean program, and our players were true student athletes. I honestly wish he COULD have got us to the next level. But at the end of the day, he just couldn’t. I hope he finds success and I think he’ll have no problem getting a good job somewhere.

The really good part about this though is the administration has decided to raise the bar and just being better than we always have been is not good enough anymore.

Couldn't have said it any better than this.  Good luck to SL.

If we get someone with the same integrity but better at coaching then we'll be headed in the right direction.

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. 

It’s honestly hilarious how many UNT and non-UNT fans are calling us out for this. They see that we “made the conference championship game this year” and think we are stupid for making this move without even looking at the numbers.

[MeanGreen4Life1998]

I just saw that the OU Offensive Line coach said its a joke that UNT fired Littrell and then all the OU fans agree and said they hope we don’t win for a long time and act like we treated him horribly or that we should just accept mediocrity as its better than we’ve ever been before. Screw them

[MeanGreenTexan]

Wonder if all those OU fans would like to hire him if it was so stupid for UNT to fire him?  They’re all chomping to get rid of Venables…  Come get your guy!

Of course, Lil’ ol’ UNT should just be thankful someone who wore crimson & cream would take on such an inferior job, right?  I hate OU fans, & I hate the perception of NTs place in CFB.

It’s time for NT to move up the ladder.   Littrell did his part.  I’m grateful for that.   Onward & upward!

Amen what a joke!  They never sent Seth one player or gave 2 shots about him until now.

It’s a common thought. A week ago I can tell you people who have graduated from archer programs laughed when I shared that people thought we should fire Seth. 
- To be fair who will we get who can do any better next season… a 50/50 record and bowl games and fired is a bit odd for a smaller school to do for bigger schools fans.

So thankful our President is actually paying attention.

They're idiots and they want us to remain where we are in the pecking order. See if these moronic fans would be mad about their administration firing their coach after 7 years of exactly .500 ball.

Absolutely agree. Neal just went way up in my book for this

Seth Littrell "not a good coach"?  C'mon, man.  I understand and share the desire for a better head coach, but Seth is a good coach.

He's a good coach. Poor game manager. Poor recruiter. Poor face of a program.

I guess it depends on your definition of good? I guess you’re right he wasn’t bad his ceiling was average…which is reflected in his coaching record here.

To be fair, Katniss Everdeen and her ilk never wanted to wake up such a sleeping giant. The jump to District 12 is going to be even more competitive.

Please stop saying this because it is not true.  We have 25 conference titles and that is 13th   in all of FBS.  That to me is not indicative of a program that just wants to win homecoming, an FCS game and 2 to 3 other games a year.  Pre-2005 bowl game standard his teams would might have  gotten bowl invitations twice.  Third place G5 conference finishers and teams with losing records against FBS did not go to bowl regularly before 2005.  Seth was a class act, hard working coach who did everything he thought was right to be successful.

I'll be increasing my Mean Green Fund contributions for next year. I hope others will too.

 

I'm ready to increase my level of giving also. 

[Tom McKrackin]

I truly see this as a huge opportunity and I really hope we get the best guy not just who makes things easy.  Winning is hard.  I vote Gary Patterson.

[South Texas Green]

Add me to the list of those wishing Seth the best. 

Record aside, he always represented the university with class and by all accounts, he was also a good guy off the field. 

Wasn't personal, just business.

On to the next chapter.

There've been about 10 players on twitter that have tweeted negative reactions to this move...

I will say this and this should probably have a pinned thread dedicated to this...

We're going to have a lot of 'I told you so's' next year due to the probable record that UNT will have. We probably want be .500 and we won't be bowling. But make no mistake, that will not mean we aren't a better team. Just note that. Fold it up and put it in your pocket and remember this.
