I've seen videos of Graham addressing the team and he does not come off as a leader.  He may be a good head coach one day but I'd rather UNT not be the first to test that.  I agree that we need someone with more experience.

I thought Graham would be a good fit simply for his QB coaching ability. Although at this point I'm thinking more about him coasting in the second half so many times after being up 3 scores.

He could be great, but I'd like to see him get some HC experience first.

I get the argument about lack of HC experience, but I don't dislike it as much as many of you seem to. I think he'll do a fine job recruiting, he'll be better at QB development and he knows what this place is and isn't.

What QB’s has he “developed” since Mason Fine? While at USC he had the pick of virtually every QB in the country they had the 66th ranked offense in the country. They bring in Lincoln Riley this year an actual offensive genius and they make the jump to 3rd.

They brought in Caleb Williams too

Oddly enough, this could all help us bring in Graham Harrell back as our Offensive Coordinator.

Wren Bakers first challenge at WVU will be limiting the financial losses involved with terminating coach Neal Brown including reducing his guaranteed $16 million buyout.

Additionally, Harrell has a guaranteed $800K  contract for next year and $850K for 2024.

Wren will likely negotiate to have WKU assume a large portion of Graham's contract if he accepts a position elsewhere. That could be with us, at least for the first two years of Graham's service in Denton.

Would our new head coach want him? Would Graham want to return to North Texas? This was the site of his greatest success, and it could wind up being a really good financial win both for him and the Mean Green.

And, if all goes well, Graham may be a candidate in the future for our head coach position.

And, keep an eye on this ESPN story  He will have two years eligibility remaining as will former North Texas recruit Chase Griffin who has graduated at UCLA.

I don’t disagree that we need an experienced head coach but North Texas is exactly the team that is likely to give Graham  Harrell his first HC gig.

True, but likely after he's returned here as an offensive coordinator.

The writer knows about what is happening as we do.  Pure speculation on his/her part.   Probably needed to write a story and this is what he/she came up with.

That was the same first impression I had when I read it.  Seemed like he was just writing an article because he needed to.

No to JT Daniels.  Having watched a few of their games, he's an interception waiting to happen.  Especially in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.

Well does that mean Graham is not a quality recruited? I would think at a school like USC you would have your pick of QBs.

 

Not at all, I'm just saying that working with Kaden Slovis and JT Daniels is not even in the same stratosphere as working with Caleb Williams. Nothing more, nothing less.

Shouldn't be a deal breaker.  Sometimes these guys just need a change of scenery.

If there’s a player who’s had plenty changes of scenery it’s JT Daniels.  But I guess his fourth college could be the one where everything finally clicks.

      That was the key to each of the past 6 years, a clutch go-to player. We don't have that yet defined on this team. Players are starting to show their true abilities, and I hope Ross doles out minutes proportional to that. Lorient, Walker, and Massie are studs and should get max minutes. Others have been hot and cold.

      The offense is definitely still a work in progress. Our guards get stuck passing it around the 3-point arc to themselves and then launch a desperation 3. We set picks only to end up 5 feet away with the same guard dribbling covered by the same defender. What's the point? We drive the paint but become out of control and throw it up hoping to draw a foul. Sissoko backs down his guy in the paint several times and then misses a 3-foot shot. It gets old. Points off breakaways were our only offense last night. Better opponents won't allow that to happen. I get trying to drive the paint to draw fouls to go to the free throw line. McNeese did it to us and won the game on free throws because we are too handsy on defense sometimes. We built a 10-4 foul advantage on Oregon State in the 2nd half...then gave up 5 fouls in under 2 minutes as they drove the paint on us too.

      Exactly, unless we are going to pay unrivaled G5 coaches salaries for proven coaches this is the way to go. Most people aren't in depth knowledgeable college football fans. And I sincerely believe that none of the coaches besides the top 20% really provide more value to the program than they are paid in salary. The Mean Green Football brand doesn't recruit well by itself. So either we need to get into a P4 conference or do something substantial over a 3 year period to change that. The extensions for Littrell was just stupid and we kept him an extra year to hire a clone just with some FCS head coaching experience. This program just does dumb stuff which makes all the losing insufferable. I know if were this bad at my job with clearly bad decisions creating these kinds of results year by year not only would I like lose my job. The company I am high up in the chain of command of would probably have massive layoffs. I do think if we could get a coach that has done something significant at P4 program South of Mason Dixon line in the past decade-15 year it might would worth paying 10%-20% more than what we normally pay. The opposite direction would be lowering ticket prices and playing just one "money game" a year and just hiring a "good coach" with "decent resume" like a Morris or Littrell.
