In one of Tony Dungees books he talks about his thoughts on drafting to the NFL. He said they didn't worry too much about the combine. Their main thoughts were how did the athlete perform in college. If they were studs in college that transferred into the pros. I think a lot of kids get over looked because of size.
On the other hand. NT can make them a lot stronger but speed is VERY difficult to develop.

This. We obviously all respect and value his on the field contributions. But it is uniformed, inaccurate, and anyone else and we'd all be torching him for not reading any of the other posts on the board that have already discussed all these same points...
I have read the majority of the BS on here. Most of which is crap. I have more invested in this football program than 90% of the couch potatoes on here. Sit behind your screen name, in your cubicle, read and post all you want. My opinion is just my opinion
However my perspective is much more informed than most. Having played at UNT, been recruited at UNT, having been through some of the tough times and the glory days.
There are people on this board I consider friends because of their unwavering support of UNT. I have coached high school for 12+ years and seen it from that side as well.
So you just sit there and look at things through your little peephole at the program and criticize away.

Good times and good days. At least that's how it ended. It wasn't always bowl games and conference championships.
Chemistry is a huge thing with a head coach. He maybe the greatest thing since Dickey. As a former coach I can tell you I have seen it time and time again head coaches who "HAVE IT", have it. They can walk into any program and turn it around.
One thing that I heard a while back is that successful D-1 head coaches look and act like politicians, they sell their program and give off a vibe that everyone loves. I see that in Littrell more so that Meachum or Briles.

Reason I can't spell his name is because I have never heard of him. Much like most high school kids in Texas, who we will be recruiting.

It's a bit of a stretch but I am afraid this is a comfortable hire for Rick V. Fedora was at S Miss and thus has ties to Rick. I mean really how did Luttrell even get on the radar????
I keep hearing this is the presidents hire but any ties to current ad scare me.
Luttrell is not a coordinator. He's not associate head coach. He's the "assistant head coach for offense" everyone on the UNC has a blown up title.

He's the kind of guy who would love a grass roots rebuilding job. I think it is DEFINATELY worth a call. I LOVE THIS COACH!!!

"I don't know if it's the right decision to have Greer in there". Even the commentators know better.
Good bye Canales.

I think he should top the list. He not only has experience but has it within the conference. He is a Texas boy with ties deep in the state. He will bring a phenomenal OC and a great staff. He also has big name recognition.

I once read that back in Bear Bryants hay day, one reason he was so successful was because he recruited all high school qbs. Knowing in that time that the best athlete on the team played Qb it made sense. He would then use these kids to play all the skill positions on his teams.
Well ill that's happening again to a degree at Mississippi State and I think we should strongly consider going after one of their coaches. I'd say coordinator but I am not sure either would jump ship to come to UNT. Take a look at:
Manny Diaz - likely too high profile
Tony Hughes - establish & excellent recruiter
Greg Knox - Sp Tm Coord Texas ties also (rosebud)
All
All in all a long shot but their recruiting philosophy is one we should lean to

Didn't know he was from Muleshoe. The gem of West Texas
in deed he is. Home town of yours truely and Lincoln. He graduated with my brother and is top notch. Guy has a photographic memory and was on my original list. I actually tried to pull any strings I had to get dodge to hire him when they were all let go at Tech. I'll promise you this, if we don't hire him, we will look back at him like we do harbaugh one day.

I'm with Houston Ealge. As an added must-fire the DC and bring in someone who's a great recruiter. There would have to be a certain number of staff changes made.

Prior to his appointment at Tulsa, Gilbert was the co-offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for one season at Bowling Green State University. In his only year, the Falcons gained 432.9 yards to rank 42nd nationally for total yards, while gaining 173 yards on the ground and 259 yards passing. He helped coach BGSU to a victory over South Alabama in the 2014 Camellia Bowl.
Before his stint at Bowling Green, Gilbert served as the offensive coordinator at Eastern Illinois for two seasons, where in his second year was named FootballScoopFCS Coordinator of the Year in 2013. The Panthers led the nation in yards (589.5) and points per game (48.2) in 2013. In addition, EIU averaged 372.4 passing yards and 217.1 yards on the ground.
In his first season, Gilbert directed the Panthers up-tempo offense that ranked sixth in the nation in passing, eighth in total offense and 12th in scoring. EIU averaged 470.9 yards per game, 36.5 points and set several school records, including touchdown passes with 34.
Under the guidance of Gilbert, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was named the Walter Payton Award winner, the FCS equivalent of the Heisman Trophy – given to the nation's best player Garoppolo threw for 5,050 yards and 53 touchdowns in 2013 and during his two seasons under Gilbert’s guidance passed for 8,873 yards and 84 scores. Garoppolo was a second round draft choice by the New England Patriots in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Gilbert enjoyed a successful career as a high school coach in Texas before moving to Eastern Illinois. Prior to his EIU stint, Gilbert was the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Temple High School, where the team advanced to the Texas Class 5A playoffs.
Prior to joining the coaching staff at Temple High School, Gilbert was the head coach at San Angelo Lake View High School for three seasons (2008-10). Gilbert rebuilt a program that had won only three games in three years prior to his arrival to a team that won the 2008 Bi-District Championship and the school’s first playoff game in 12 years. He was named the West Texas High School Coach of the Year in 2008.
Gilbert developed a name for himself as a prolific offensive coach at Abilene Cooper High School during the 2006 and 2007 seasons when he served as the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. In 2006, Cooper was the state’s top passing offense in Class 3-5A with 3,172 yards, while in 2007 the team to the state playoffs.
Gilbert’s first collegiate coaching experience was as a graduate assistant at the University of Houston in 2005 when the Cougars earned a trip to the Fort Worth Bowl. Gilbert assisted with coaching the quarterbacks and running backs. His first job was on the prep level as the quarterback and running back coach at Springtown (Texas) High School from 2003-04.
A Texas native, Gilbert was a two-time All-Lone Star Conference quarterback at Angelo State in 2000 and 2001, while serving as team captain both seasons. Gilbert earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology with a minor in history from Angelo State in 2002.

Recruiting is the name of the game. Kids want to play for someone they have heard of. They want to play for a name or some one who's trendy. That's how we start this thing.
lets be honest dodge had the best recruiting class at north Texas but screwed it up hiring all high school coaches. Mack went 9-4 with that talent. Those kids knew dodge. Same thing is happening at SMU.

Mean Green 13, that's the BS metality that got us in this situation in the first place. There is a way to get some one who has a bright future and can bring a culture change. If UNT wants to.
Might give Jim Tressel a call he may want back in D-1.

DRC: A look back on the top five coaches in UNT history
in Mean Green Football
Posted
Sad to say we lost to ULM in 2001 17-19. Then beat at 5-0 MUTS team 24-21. This starting the conference winning streak. I vividly remember getting on the bus to the air port and hearing rumors Coach Dickey would be fired. That's when he rallied the troops.
