Harrell and Mainord

[Green Crazy]

Tech's board is saying both will be announced as new members of Tech's staff.  Harrell as OC and Mainord as WR coach.  

 

My friend from Tech says no one that is usually in the know has confirmed.

Dont see this happening with the uncertainty of  coach hair gel! Harrell is far from being a head coach in waiting!

Seems to make sense.  Harrell is like a god in Lubbock.

Nothing on twitter about it..

Can someone provide the link to the board that’s claiming this?

[H-towngreen]

Would be surprised if he made the jump to Tech since Kings could be gone after the year

it's the tech rivals board.

I think if it was going to happen it would have already. Not to mention I'd stay put if I were him. Their head coach was a few points away from walking papers. I'd hate to move out there just to start looking for a new job.

The move would make sense though if he thought that Kingsbury would be gone after this season and Littrell would be the HC there.

This would be another bad decision by Tech's AD. He can be replaced and SL knows it.......

I'd honestly be more concerned about losing Mainord than Harrell.

Seems odd.  Why Mainord and not Filani?

Because Mainord also has a history at Tech, with MANY MORE skins on the wall.

If they fire Kingsbury then that is likely because this season went badly for Tech. That is likely to reflect on everybody who is present. If they lose 6 games again, that is unlikely to convince convince folks at Tech that the OC who lost those 6 games is great and has what it take to be the new HC. If they have a rebound season, Kingsbury will stay.

On top of that, hiring Harrell would certainly remind people extremely of the failed Kingsbury hire (alumn, hot shot OC with an otherwise somewhat short cv when it comes to becoming a P5 head coach). Usually programs overcorrect after firing a HC.

I agree with several here: Replacing Mainord may actually be a bigger problem for UNT.

If we lost Harrell, I'd be very confident with Mainord stepping into the OC role

Hope Littrell would give this guy a call.  They know each other from their time at Tech.
