Looking back, the real sign of how Littrell runs the team was the blowout at FAU where the team took it as a Florida vacation and the coaches wives were posting stuff all over social media.  Poorly handled and the program is a reflection of that lack of focus.  Time to move on, win out or not.

Yes, the coach’s wives social media posts is what is hurting our QB development and depth in the secondary.

This may depend on how much I-35 construction is going on

In case another school wants him -

New $7.5 million buyout per CBS Sports

UTSA protecting their interest 

For context, the Lane Kiffin deal was a 2 mil buyout. I think the UTSA buyout drops a little each year, but it's substantially more than the Lane deal.

[TCU fires Patterson]

Wow. Busy night for coaching in Texas. Hope we follow suit.

 

Good luck to Patterson on his emerging music career. I'm sure it'll bring him far in this new chapter of his life.

 

[Your Preference - Background of a new HC]

"Rising Coordinator" is maybe a bit specific - I'd like a very talented Coordinator who has an established career as a coordinator, or associate head coach experience. Someone who is getting groomed to be a head coach. I'm sure our leadership could sift through candidates to see if they have what Littrell was missing.

[Specific Top Candidates for Next UNT HC]

Joey McGuire or Doc Holiday are my two top candidates for this next season. Let's not even entertain coaches with a shaky past, that will never happen here, and I'm not sure why we're still having a conversation about it. Much better coaches available without all the baggage. 

[UTSA Extends Traylor]

I don't think he'll leave this year based on this video - definitely don't think he'll be there for his entire contract, but he for sure isn't going to Tech this offseason imo.

[UTSA Extends Traylor]

That's insane. A real wake-up call to what we should be paying. I'm sure our next coach will have to be in the same area as that. 

[TCU fires Patterson]

No way. He’s too focused on his musicianship. Why’d we want a coach who was gone half the year headlining world tours?

[Strength and Conditioning Program]

I’m tied to Baylor pretty close, and one reason that they were so successful in the Rhule era is because they had such a strong S&C department that really built up the players in the times that the coaches couldn’t.

Half our roster is juniors or seniors. 

Maybe 'young' is a strong word, but Jones is a sophmore, Perry is a Junior, Ousmane is a Sophmore... A lot of time left for these already impact players to get better and better. This isn't last year where it kinda felt like our 'big shot' year because we had a senior laden team,

[Exhibition vs Arkansas October 30th]

Not to freak out or anything but we have a VERY good young team

[Exhibition vs Arkansas October 30th]

been trying to keep up on my computer. Does anyone listening to the game know if we are just bricking shots, or making bad shots under defensive pressure?

25 plays. Ridiculous. 

25 plays with two unsportsmanlike plays from the defense! Most wild drive!

[North Texas - Rice Official Game Thread]

Rice’s insane 25 play 12 yard drive making The rounds on Twitter

 

[Just thinking out loud]

Lol we just ran a run play similar to this in the red zone

talk about bush league, those rice helmets are ugly. 

[Ronnie Tutt RIP]

Notable albums that he recorded on were Billy Joel’s Piano Man and Streetlife Serenade, The Jerry Garcia Band’s Compliments, Reflections, and Cats Under the Stars, and Run for the Roses. He then after Jerry Garcia Band disbanded, became Neil Diamond’s permanent concert and recording session drummer. He’s well recognized for his live drum work on ‘Holly Holy’ live. His biggest impact was his drumming for the TCB Band for Elvis from ’69-’77. Worked on all those albums and did all those tours with him. Did some fantastic work that drum fanatics all over still talk about.

 

Here’s a clip of one of his more famous drum colors for Elvis in ’77.

Hell of a career for a hell of a drummer. Going to listen to a few of his albums in memory of him!

[Newly Freed-up OOC Schedule]

We have to raise our OOC games if we really want to prove ourselves at the next level. Would love good G5 teams, and bad P5 teams to play. Games that people would be interested in seeing, even if they weren't a fan. Teams like Costal, Boise, K-State, Houston. I'd prefer that we got as far away from the teams in our current C-USA to really break away from that association. 

[DRC: UNT press conference notebook -- Mean Green could end up using using players on both offense and defense]

New coach needs to bring in new S&C. This is insane that we’re running out of players on defense.

i just don't understand, we went from a dynamic passing offense to the 96th passing yardage offense in the country... in a short amount of time

we regressed with the same QB as last year

 

We lost an NFL caliber WR that made 19 touchdowns in his last season. All our other ‘all star’ WR core is injured.

[My Coaching Wish List at the Moment]

There's been a lot of very successful football teams built with Texas ties. Kinda hard though to break through and win a natty when it's been the same 4 teams for 10 years though.
