6 touchdowns?  Hmmm, but what was his facial expression on the sidelines??

I dunno. But unlv was looking very north texas like on defense. When a unlv defender would accidently find himself in frame of my 75inch TV then bean would throw a pick. Otherwise, it was like 7v7 without the other 7.

I love how this thread has gone from "he might be dead" to "was he any good?" in like a half-dozen posts.

I love how the board went from Barry Odom is a very good defensive coach and we should have hired him to Bean only threw for 449 yards and 6 touchdowns because Barry Odom's defense was very bad and North Texas like from one thread to another. We just hate to see former North Texas players succeed elsewhere.

Disagree. I think many on here love to see former players do well so they can bash North Texas for not keeping them.

You know, you're not wrong. Not a ton of supporting for the sake of supporting

Hope he makes the roster. Would be fun to watch him sling it in the NFL.

So in his time here, Seth Littrell signed a CFL quarterback, and two quarterbacks who were signed to the NFL as UDFA’s. Not bad.

He doesn't get credit for Fine, Harrell does, and he let Bean slip through his fingers because he couldn't develop a QB to save his life. Stop simping for that man.

I had to look up the term “simping”.  I don’t think it means what you think it means.

From urban dictionary:

"simping

v. to simp. Tricking, groveling, or basically just letting females walk all over you for no apparent reason other than your own bitch-made-ness."

The term does not just apply to females in this case. And sucking up to a long-gone mediocre coach is definitely simp behavior.

Who gets credit for Harrell then?

Also, you may want to revisit this article.

"Coach Littrell and Coach Harrell...out of all these coaches, they had faith in me to play at the next level," Fine said. "For them to take that shot on me, I'm forever in their debt. I'm going to continue working hard for them and for the University of North Texas."

 

Hennesy has a good relationship with Littrell, and the two had been in contact about Fine and what he could bring to the program. Fine is hoping he can help turn around the culture at North Texas—similar to how he helped turn things around at Locust Grove.

 

"I think I can learn a lot from Coach Harrell," Fine said. "He was so successful at Texas Tech running the Air Raid. I feel like he's the next big thing coming up with Coach Littrell. They are two of the best offensive-minded people in the country.

"It's going to be a lot of fun learning from them. I'm going to be there soaking everything up and listening to everything they have to say."

 

You’ll probably point to how he mentions learning from Harrell and how he will be the next big thing. Well, when you have WSU’s outside receivers coaching coming to be your quarterbacks coach and OC, you can only point to his career as a player which any quarterback coming out of high school would want to emulate. The point is, Littrell had the relationship with the coach, Littrell had the scholarship to give, and Littrell convinced Harrell to come to North Texas in the first place. Without Littrell there is no Mason Fine at North Texas and you can take that to the bank.

Bean looked to be as fast as any college player I've seen.

I always thought he would have been great at another position, like wr, cb or kick-punt returner.  My guess that will be were he makes it if he does in the pros.

That's a lot of text, all I hear is a lot of gargling.

The amount of time/energy you spend not only defending SL, but actively pursuing opportunities to praise him when is isn't really needed, is seen.

This is beyond just good-old-days nostalgia and in the realm of weird.
