  1. Surprised by the hire, although at least you can see what inspired it. Morris is a name we brought up in the 2023 coaching thread all year long. 
     

    He’s a Leach/Kingsbury guy. That obviously goes a long way in Texas. 
     

    it’s been fun talking North Texas ball with you gents. As I transfer schools, I’ll be here posting less, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my year with the Mean Green. 
     

    Good luck!

    For sure.  I know it has been a tough couple of weeks for you guys for sure.  We had Coach Lashlee all set up and contracted in a very short period of time so it was a little smoother sailing for us.  Looks like you guys are still trying to identify someone who is interested.  One good thing is I like seeing that you are interested in Garrett Riley.  He was just an assistant for us but seemed to be a nice guy.  Not sure he would be interested in the UNT job but it doesn't hurt to try.

    Come on, man. If you’re going to trash talk, you can do better than this. 
     

    For example, you could talk about how a program that bragged about having “more money than God” all summer finished fourth in their conference. 
     

    Or, perhaps, you could even point out how a coach left the same school with all those resources to join the cross town rival and took his new squad to the playoff in year one.

  3. So, running all the posts in this thread through my message board filter, I would say Fuente looks to be the guy. Or at least he's in the running enough to send someone here to advocate on his behalf. I suppose it could also be the AD floating a trial balloon to see how it would go over. 

    Would be a good hire, I think. And more importantly, I think it would send a message to the nation that North Texas can get a big name AND that North Texas is serious about competing in the AAC.

    Okay, but that's how a lot (if not most) of programs operate. Just the other week a story broke that Chris Del Conte wanted to bring Sonny Dykes to UT, but was overruled by donors. 

    I'd love for our donors to step away and let the AD do his job, but sadly, that's not realistic. 

    Totally agree with you. It’s not uncommon. 
     

    That’s why I believe the decision will be made to give Littrell an extension. He’s not been an unmitigated disaster. We’re in the conference title game (I know CUSA sucks). They won’t fire him with all of this uncertainty in the administration.

    "Everything we've heard" ...you mean what some uniformed GMG posters say?

    I don't think this changes anything for Littrell. Lose Friday night and he's gone. 

    Take it for what you want, I’m just a guy talking on a message board. But I spoke with a well known college football reporter about Wren a month ago (or more) and he is the one who told me Wren wanted out of Denton and had been interviewing for every open AD job. I posted about it here when I was told that information. 
     

    Part of the reason was the uncertainty around the football program. The exact verbiage I was told was “I’m not sure the AD makes that call in Denton.”

    Why do you say this? Seems fitting to let the new AD hire his new football coach heading into our new conference. 

    An AD transition likely means our boosters and school president will make the call on Littrell. Everything we’ve heard suggests both camps are pro-Littrell. 
     

    He’s going to be extended. They won’t want the new AD to make the call immediately just like Wren in WVU with Neal Brown.

    0 marketing. 0 before or after game marketing strategies as done in the past. Terrible game day atmosphere/setup. Terrible logistics 0 communication from the AD when the fanbase is clearly in a frenzy or close to one. 

    My guess is that he's been putting his ear to the pavement for sometime. And, he clearly has. 

    I’m not sure about the stuff you posted, but it’s definitely why we haven’t heard anything definitive on the Littrell front. 
     

    Wren has been focused on getting out, not determining the future in Denton.

    Interested as to why you would want to keep Bloesch on? I would think much of our gripes about offense would fall on him; QB play, play calling, schemes, execution, recruiting, etc. 

    Our offense has been really good. I believe a lot of the issues are built around the fact they don’t necessarily trust Aune to do what they want him to do. 
     

    Too early to say on the recruiting front. He hasn’t been here that long, and it’s hard to get a gauge on how hard we’re trying to actually recruit high school players.
