It's a bit of a stretch but I am afraid this is a comfortable hire for Rick V. Fedora was at S Miss and thus has ties to Rick. I mean really how did Luttrell even get on the radar????  

 

I keep hearing this is the presidents hire but any ties to current ad scare me. 

 

Luttrell is not a coordinator. He's not associate head coach. He's the "assistant head coach for offense" everyone on the UNC has a blown up title.

Matt, you do realize your post could throw this board into total chaos.

He calls the plays, that is all that matters. You can label anybody you want OC, but who actually calls the plays, because that is what matters. He runs the offense, please stop.

No, it is who designs the plays and creates the offensive game plan that matters.  Hopefully, whoever NT hires can do that; not many HC's call plays.

This has already been discussed, check out Cerebrus's thread on the matter. Regardless, he was the "official" offensive coordinator for some prolific offenses at Indiana. 

Hopefully he wasn't at IU when we beat them...

Every time you hire a coach who has never been a head coach at your level before you are taking a risk.  That is why my first choice was and still is Willie Fritz, he has built programs and recruited at every level from JUCO to FBS.  

Littrell has never been "The Man" before, we will find out if he can hire a staff and direct them well enough to build a great program.  Thing is, neither had Meacham.   It may be residual Mike Leach love that makes me give Littrell a higher grade that Meacham, but I do think he would be a good hire.

He runs the offense, he is over the two co-coordinators. They assist with the game plan.

He was also the OC at Indiana and Arizona. I'm sure it's heavily influenced by Leach and Fedora, but it's HIS offense.

Hopefully he wasn't at IU when we beat them...

He wasn't.

Since you can't spell the guys name right, I am not sure how seriously I can take your post.

I see no reason why a new poster like Matt deserves 10 negatives for expressing his concern. It isn't like he started bashing anyone. I don't share this concern about Littrell, but I also don't see any reason to slap him with a negative either. Welcome to the board Matt.

Spend 15 minutes searching this board and you'll have your answers.  This would be an OUTSTANDING hire.

Wow it's amazing how quickly some people forget our past. We could use 5 more Matts in the trenches right now. Guys these are valid concerns from someone who has been through the process and knows a thing or two about being recruited. I think the Littrell will be a great hire and his offensive prowess will speak for itself with recruits.

Wow!   18 -1's for a former letterman.  I'm sure every one of them came from people who did not know that.

Though I don't agree with his concerns, I welcome any former player's opinions.

Hopefully he wasn't at IU when we beat them...

Nope.  He was in his final season as OC at Arizona.  Joined the Indiana staff in 2012.  He was gone to UNC by the time we got rolled up there last season, so we haven't seen him before.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
