His dream job! ....oh wait

Good for him!  His salary offsets what we owe him, right?

I'm taking a break from Twitter but I saw this on Reddit earlier. I'm sure he's happy to have a laid back role at OU this fall. Best of luck to Seth with his new gig.

Great hire by Venables.  I'm happy for Coach Littrell.

Jeff Lebby's chin is going to be bruised by mid-October from constantly looking over his shoulder at Littrell (especially if they lose to Texas).   Littrell understands Lebby's offense already for the most part (thanks to Bloesch), and will pick up Lebby's nuances rather quickly.  Plus, he has a deep bag of Air Raid knowledge of his own to infuse into it if Lebby's offense stalls. 

Not to mention, Littrell already has a better relationship with Venables than Lebby does.

Sucks that NT doesn't get a bigger portion of Littrell's buyout knocked off by him going somewhere else in an official on-field role making more money.   Oh well, I'm sure Wren, Jared & Neal all knew that possibility going into the decision.

Best of luck to Coach Littrell in the future.

Good for him.  I wish him well and hope he is happy up there.

FYI, Skalski's Dad that passed away in 2016 was from Argyle and played at Lewisville HS.

Happy for Littrell. He left us better off than he found us. I have no ill will towards the man. He wasn’t the one to get us to the top but he got us out of the cellar without question.

I wouldn't expect much returned to us for that role. A lot of analyst take the job for near free since they are still on buyout money

[Jonnyeagle]

Good for him.  I think given time he can rebuild his career if he chooses to be an assistant or in a supporting role.  

[meangreenfaninno]

He finally got back to his dream school.  Not exactly the position he wanted but maybe given time he could reinvent himself.

That’s understandable. He’s paid the same regardless, so there’s no real incentive. 

[Cooley]

It’s hard for most head coach’s of North Texas football to move up the ranks when they leave.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Well… I absolutely called this one

[Tom McKrackin]

Great, dude can't get a real job, and now we the taxpayers get stuck with paying out his full 2 million dollar annual salary for many many years to come.  Thanks for making my day.

 

[southsideguy]

Happy he is coaching where he wanted to be all along.

Fun fact. Jeff Lebby was in aggreement to come to North Texas after UCF. Ole Miss came in right before the deal was announced.

So Bloesch was just "We have Jeff Lebby at home"?

Glad we avoided that PR disaster.

"After Baylor fired then-head coach Art Briles — his daughter Staley is married to Lebby — Lebby became one of Briles’ most vocal supporters. Lebby was involved in getting T-shirts made with #CAB on the front, which stood for Coach Art Briles and was used to rally support on social media."

We aren’t stuck paying him because he can’t get a real job. We are stuck paying him because we gave him a contract and fired him before the contract ended. Most people don’t care to help out the place that fired them. In fact, many would do everything they could to stick it to their old boss the most.

Good post that is another indictment of the contract extension decision.  

[aztecskin]

Giving a dude a contract and then having to eat it is all part of the risk analysis of offering the contract in the first place. Good for Seth. Here's hoping he enjoys the rest of his time. 

[rcade]

Maybe now that he has a new job he has time to write a goodbye statement to the UNT community.
