Not trying to compare RB's, but the quality of the O-line has a lot to do with how successful the RB's are. Wilson ran behind a better line coached by Brad Davis, who left to take the same position at Florida after Wilson final year in Denton. Overall, I think Cobb's RB's have not had as high a caliber line to run behind. The O-line wasn't bad last season, but under Langston the unit was not very good. I think Cobbs is a solid RB coach, and one of the better coaches on our staff. I do not want to lose him.

Thanks, I hope you post an update if some news breaks about this.

Can you share some details?

I've been saying these things since before last season. I'm glad others around here are seeing this too. Do you have a time frame for Littrell's dismissal?

Interesting. So, Mike Stoops turned us down?

Right now, no news is bad news. ULM is making somewhat splashy hires with Bowden and Rodreguez. LA Tech just landed three SEC defensive back transfers. https://twitter.com/brettvito/status/1349460615023251465 And, SMU has added an OU TE to go with their OU QB. https://twitter.com/brettvito/status/1349454986497961992 Like I stated before... while recruiting is improving we are continuing to struggle against the better G5 programs. These kinds of moves will show up on the field next season. Littrell needed a home run DC hire. Now, as other programs continue to put the pieces in place for improvement, Littrell really needs a grand slam at the DC position. We need someone soon that can persuade a few high caliber immediate impact players to transfer or sign with UNT. If thing don't start falling into place soon, we will be facing another losing season before we ever even get to fall camp.

Very happy for Lance. Congratulations #5!

That my point. Nothing has come out publicly. That is why people get nervous and speculate.

HOF? Absolutely. Fast track him. Retire #1? I think there is a better option.... Here is an idea. We could place a higher standard on issuing the #1 jersey to a player. Don't just let players claim it. Only award the jersey to the top WR on our roster, when the consensus of the coaches agree the WR has achieved the same level of work ethic, leadership, and success that Darden exhibited. This means the #1 jersey may not be issued every season, but when it is, it will go to a very special "team captain". It could be a good recruiting tool too. At some point, if the list of WR's that wear #1 were to grow even more distinguished, than maybe a space on the wall at field level can feature the #1 and list the names of those that were awarded the jersey. Just a thought.

Sure we know what is going on.... Littrell is trying to land the best DC he can find for the money he has available. The problem is that Seth has not addressed the characteristics he is looking for in our next DC, and patience is in short supply around this board. When there is no official information from the athletic department, people tend to fear the worst...

UTSA has a bad RPI. I was not expecting this road loss. It seems to me that this team is missing Geu. I think he was a spark plug in games like these last season. Simmon's is a good strong big, but Geu was a quick athletic big that could attack the rim on both sides of the court.

That steal could be big. The Mo seems to be shifting back our way. 11-1 run for UNT.

Ha! I got to go back and watch that one again. It always makes me laugh. I sure miss those days.

It was going to be on ESPN+. Couldn't they just stream the UTSA feed? No one was expecting broadcast quality anyway. While not ideal, it would be better than nothing.

I wasted a lot of time searching ever obscure channel on Dish and combing through espn+ and Youtube. C-USA is a joke. How some on this board can continue to defend MacLeod is beyond me. Just more evidence of her failure as a commissioner.

I don't know who Littrell was targeting for our DC opening, but with Doc getting the axe, Brad Lambert is now available. That dude built a top 5 defense this past season, and it was just his second year in as their DC. We need this guy.... if Marshall doesn't hand him the keys to their car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Lambert_(American_football)

Patrick Toney at ULL checks all but one of the boxes, but will probably get snatched by a P5 this off season. https://ragincajuns.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/patrick-toney/1255

Ha! No, but I had it for 10 years on a computer running Microsoft XP that many people had used. I thought a new account would help keep this computer more secure.

Missed that comment. Thanks.

Mike Stoops seems to check every box on your list. Am I warm?

I like all of these points, and hope it works out for us. Thanks for sharing.

My old computer finally crapped out. I had been posting on my wife's, but have a new computer now. So, I decided to end my old account and start fresh this year. Just wanted to y'all to know I'm not a new poster. It's just me. Go Mean Green!!!
