My dream scenario if Seth has to leave. Eric Morris HC/Play caller Colby Carthal DC/assistant head coach Tommy Mainord OC Marty Biagi St Choice RB If you can hang on to those 3. You hang on to 95% of f19htclub guaranteed. I think baby briles is a genious. He has fine a guaranteed hiesman canidate and pushes over the top. But I don't think UNT has rep to over come Baylor enigma. Not that baby briles had any part. I think eric Morris is a very close behind briles in terms of offensive genius.

I love baby briles. I think he is the best offensive mind in the country. Briles plus this offense is freaking scary. To many won't over look the past. Which is sad because other than asking a kid if he like white women (which is a legit question). His slate is clean. Someone will give Briles a shot eventually. I just hope it's not CUSA because he will be successful. Now I don't think briles will be one place for long. Think he is climbing the ladder.

 before you read this: I am one of the biggest Seth Littrell homers ever and have been that way since day one. I would hate to see him go as much as anybody. One of the main reasons is it would almost automatically mean that the # 1 Recruiting Class in Conference-USA (according to 247sports) would dissolve in Thanos-like fashion. Also, it would be a gut punch to the momentum and culture Seth and Co. has built from the ground up. That said, with virtually the entire offense returning next season I must pose the following question: Is now the best time for both parties Seth and UNT to part ways? I know many of you are shaking your head right about now. Seth has built something here that has rarely been seen in North Texas football’s 100-year history. Even so, would it not be better to have a new coach in place to hit the ground running next year with what looks like could be a top G5 roster as opposed to 2020 when the cupboard could be bare and you lose your all-conference QB, 2 WR, 2 TE, 2 OL, Hambone, Khari and English on the defensive side? We know 2 things for sure. North Texas is a much more attractive job today than it was when Seth was hired for several reasons. The coaching compensation has improved, as have the facilities with the indoor practice facility now being built. Most of all, the roster is miles ahead of where it was after McCarney left. There will be plenty of quality candidates that will apply for the position. And Wren has proven to us with the hiring of Grant Mccasland he is not afraid to go and getting a sitting D1 head coach. Does Wren go back to Jonesboro and go after their excellent football head coach Blake Anderson? It might be a hard sell since Blake’s hometown is Jonesboro. Or does Wren go a different route and get a proven winner that is a retread? Finally, does he go the Seth route and get a P5 OC and hope he learns on the job as fast as Seth did (I don’t think this happens, I think with this roster you get a guy who has been a head coach before because this roster is ready to win). If he goes with G5 head coach two names come to mind, Neal Brown at Troy and earlier mentioned Blake Anderson at Arkansas State. I don’t think this happening just due to both are at schools they are winning at and the increase in salary alone will not be enough to justify moving to another G5 school. With Neal you could argue it was a step back if you watched him dismantle us in the New Orleans bowl last year. Blake would be am even harder sale in my opinion due to the fact Jonesboro is his hometown. He is also struggling this year, so I don’t know how hot of a hire he would be. There could be other options but those are two that come to mind that meet the young, Texas Ties and successful Head criteria that I think will be required. (please comment with your names you would like to see considered). An option that I think could be considered is hiring a retread along the lines of Sonny Dykes and Skip Holtz when they were hired at SMU and La Tech respectfully. Both had had success at G5 level but were relieved of duties at the jobs they held prior. Skip has turned La Tech into a CUSA contender year in and year out. And he has now won 4 straight bowl games. Sonny looks like he has turned a corner at SMU after beating a ranked Houston team this weekend. One name that sticks out to me is a DFW local in Todd Graham. He was relieved of his duties at Arizona State and has taken this season off. But he has had great success in his career. In 12 years of being a Head Coach he led his team to bowl games in 10 of the 12 years and winning 5 of the bowl games. He also has got to the 10-win plateau 5 times in the 12 years. Side note, he has won more C-USA west titles (three) than North Texas (one) has as a program. I think the year away from the game could help. Graham certainly has his critics and it may be that Wren does not have a good personal connection with him. Two names that have been brought up a lot here lately on the board are Colby Carthel (Texas A&M Commerce HC) and Eric Morris (Incarnate Word HC) and they are probably my two favorite choices. Here’s my question -- why can we not have them both? Now hear me out here. Eric Morris has proven this season he can lead a program as a head coach and can also put up some points. He took over Incarnate Word that won one game last season. He won his 5th game this weekend with 3 games left to play. He has also said that he likes the defense that Colby Carthel coaches as he hired the Texas A & M Commerce Defensive Coordinator after Carthel led the Lions to a National Championship last season. Questions have been raised about Carthel making the Jump from D2 all the way to FBS. But questions have never been raised about his ability to coach defense. So, my proposal is to Hire Eric as the HC/OC to replace Seth. Then hire Coach Carthel as the DC/ Coach in waiting so he can get some experience at the FBS level. Because he has proven he and lead and win games. It will also give him a shot to get FBS experience. I think this is doable financially. You are currently paying Seth in the 1.5 million dollar range and Graham 300K+ range. I don’t have the numbers for Eric but I bet he could be got for around 1.2. Colby is making 200k at Commerce so you could easily double his money and have your HC and both coordinators filled with 2 top notch options. I hope Seth stays for the next 20 Years becomes our Bill Snyder, we rename the stadium, “Seth Littrell Stadium” and we are playing in the new Big 12 with 50k+ in attendance. The truth is I doubt that happens and the news of the new agent hired by Littrell throws up a lot of red flags for me. I am just saying it would be nice to be ahead of the curve instead being behind. Ill hang up and listen. #GMG Reminder Dirk Koetter started Boise run not Chris Peterson. Life doesn't end after Seth.

La Tech is 4 for 4 with 4 wins..

Dan never hit 10 wins. And had an overall losing record by a Mile. Todd and Dan are polar opposites

Can you blame him? He was like Sonny Dykes heading for greenier pastures. But once you realluze job security is more important I think he is changed. With his winning ways I would take a chance.

I am not arguing I understand your points. Not being a smart ass or trying to pick a fight. Just asking an honest question. You say we can do better than Eric Morris. What are some of those names I am just curious. I have some other names as well. Just seeing if they match up.

Carthel not ready????? He has been a head coach for 6 years. He has more national championships than losing seasons... I would sign him up in a heart beat. He has also proved at commerce he wants to build something and won't jump at the first pay raise...

I understand your point. But since there was zero evidence he was apart of anything. Beside him asking a recruit do you like white women 🤣🤣 I am not saying he is my first choice. Just saying the briles version of leachs air raid I believe is the best. My top choices are Skip Holtz, Eric Morris or Colby Carthel.

Briles is one of the brightest young minds in the game. He will be a HC very soon. Could be Houston. I wouldn't be opposed. Look how different FAU looks without him. Look how much Houston has improved with him.

i dont think so. and i think baylor and tcu keep smu out.

YES!!! Baylor TCU TECH Houston LA Tech Oklahoma State Tulsa North Texas Kansas State Kansas

I dont think the goal of Wren and co is to join the AAC. But yet to be in the front of the line when the Big 12 dissolves. The Baylors, TCU and Tech are going to be looking to create a new conference. If thing continue with new denton the way things are headed. I believe UNT will be a choice before SMU. If football conitues to win and we can keep 28k plus at every game. Basketball men and womens continue to be near the top. I think that is where Wren and co are sitting sights on. instead of just joining the AAC. Because major shake up is coming and i believe we will be in good shape.

Frank Wilson pretends like he is reading a bed time story to his kids during his press conference. Then tries to compare his head coaching start to Dabo Swinney. The used car salesman is so full of shit I think he believes his crap.

I think DL will be alright. Novil is great. But Rod has been a beast. Big shoes to fill. But I think EJ will be the biggest shoes to fill. He is a P5 talent flying around. Right behind him is losing Hall and Brooks. They could be the top CB duo in G5 currently This is why I took the losses to La Tech and UAB so hard. This was our year. we are losing 6 Starters on Defense and everyone of them is going to be tough shoes to fill. My biggest fear. Very rare to have the top QB and Defense in Conference. You have to take advantage when you have it. I don't think we take a huge step back. But i definitely think there will be some regression. Replacing Rod, EJ, Kemon, Tj, BG and Nate will be tough. I think if we can hang on to them. Several true freshman will crack the 2 deep next year. Which is exciting and equally scary.

Bill Clark is a great coach don't get me wrong. But the was he was able to rebuild this roster would be like playing Madden with no salary cap while all the others team have it. He was able to wave academic requirements take borderline guys and had an unlimited amount of schollys to do it. Seth would have liked that when he took over a 1 win team.

Aaron Colvin of the Houston Texans formerly of the Oklahoma Sooners was repping the Mean Green Sunday. He is also the brother of Caleb Colvin who has been a great addition to the Mean Green DL and is only a sophomore.

Been trying to tell people this. I have got asked about 10 times this week. I think it has to be a perfect situation for him to up and leave.

Very very very low chance. The staff has been working for 3 years to mend relationships across #TXHSFB.. they aren't going to risk tarnishing that. They will blue shirt before they pull a scholly.
