I can tell you many of the people i know who played there aren’t gonna be happy about the hire. But I mean its kind of unique and outside the box. Plus the guy is from Texas and should know where to recruit but will need to put together a good staff to help him early on atleast

I strongly believe Riley is either headed to UNT as HC or A&M as OC

Its gotta happen before Monday of next week. The potential to lose players, recruits and miss out on the Transfer Portal could really hurt UNT. So a decision on a HC must be made ASAP

Many in the press and recruiting services also tamper as they want certain schools to succeed. So why talk about it?

Hard pass on any HC we get being like Deion

Good luck to them

I mean apparently every coach makes too much sense lol. But I do like Keeler a lot and I’d hooe UNT would atleast consider him as hes proven he can win everywhere. Just wonder if he even wants to move up to FBS as hes yet and I’d think hes been offered jobs before but who knows.

Patrick Cobbs, Matt Passwaters and Adrian Mayes

Jeff Grimes

Lol thats an interesting first post. Id like UNT to atleast reach out to Patterson just to see if there is absolutely any chance hes interested. Then, when he inevitably says no, you immediately move to your next target

I get that. But him being burnt out I don’t see

We do? I don’t. Id take him over any other option thats been previously named in a heartbeat. He’s significantly better than every other candidate listed and has had sustained success. If hes a dud then yeah it sucks big time but his upside is much higher than everyone else

Better have already called up Patterson and made sure he says no before you move on to anyone else

You must be younger than me lol. I was a kid when he was hired and I remember it being talked about nationally as a game changing hire and how UNT was the first school to pull a HC straight from HS and were starting a trend. It was praised by virtually everyone but ended up being probably the worst decision imaginable by UNT

If UNT is smart then they already have their man and will formally announce it in the next couple days. Otherwise they better hurry the hell up

Need to get a Head Coach ASAP with the portal open and to get the ball rolling for next season and then get an AD. I would normally say AD first but UNT is in a bad spot with a HC

Hes the safe option id get if you absolutely cant get Patterson, Riley, Grimes or Keeler

Seths downfall can be attributed to a few things: 1. Lack of wins in big games including Conference Championships and Bowl games 2. Lack of any serious care about defense until Year 6 3. Lack of QB development outside of Fine 4. Poor offensive line play until Year 6 5. Poor hires in the middle of his tenure 6. Being paid like one of the best coaches in the G5 without having the results to be one. He started off hot and set the bar high enough for him to get paid but he could never get back to where he set it thus he was fired

While ive seen that he wants to return to CFB, i think it will be in a OC capacity or something along those lines. Ive seen him suggested as an OC candidate for A&M and a potentially very highly paid WR coach at Texas. Not sure he’d be interested in being the HC at UNT and on top of that, not sure UNT wants someone without HC experience

I think he was a good guy who helped elevate UNT and put hs on the National stage a few times and I’m thankful for that. The sad part is that he couldn’t get past mediocrity which is why hes no longer the UNT HC

I just saw that the OU Offensive Line coach said its a joke that UNT fired Littrell and then all the OU fans agree and said they hope we don’t win for a long time and act like we treated him horribly or that we should just accept mediocrity as its better than we’ve ever been before. Screw them

Definitely one of my top options but you NEED to call Patterson first just to see what he says

Hard pass. Hes a good offensive mind who hasn’t proven enough to be a HC yet and i see him simply being another Littrell. UNT needs to hire someone with HC experience

Yeah i mean its true. Defense was never great but he made them significantly better and helped Littrell develop some as a HC. Sadly it wasn’t enough to fix all of the issues

You mean the the best coach UNT has had during the 21 and 22 seasons?
