the guy has been a coach for 2 seasons and that's it?   Yeah his history is impressive but I have to think that an OC would have a bit more under his belt than 2 whole seasons....    I like the qb coach.  Maybe asst oc or co oc.   But I don't think I trust handing the reins over to someone who has seen so little coaching experience so far. 

I would expect Littrell to remain very heavy-handed in the team's offense, at least for the first year.  If Harrell is here, he'll basically be using it as a learning experience from one of the best offensive coordinators in the NCAA for the first year.  The second year, I bet he would take more control and bloom.

DC is the more critical hire.

our head coach is one of the best oc's in the country... its just a title 

 

Flawed thinking.

He isn't an OC anymore. He is a head coach. 

Hire an OC with some experience. Bring Harrell in as QB coach and an understudy, if you must. Give him a Co title if you must. 

But hire an OC with some OC experience.

Regardless of who we bring in as OC, we're going to be running Littrell's offense. So why not bring in someone who already knows the system? Plus, Harrell will be great for developing young QBs.

I don't buy this whole "experience" thing as a hiring criteria anymore. Most of Mac's crew was experienced, but they were just guys picking up paychecks and not looking to climb the ladder such as Cosh. Take a look at most of the offensive coordinators at P5's in Texas right now.. all guys in their 30's with no prior OC experience but trying to work their way up to head coach some day. Sonny Cumbie, Eric Morris, Kendal Briles, Spavital, etc. I believe it was Billy who said in a previous topic that experience/age shouldn't necessarily matter, it's about finding the best fits for each position. If we don't land Harrell he will be looked at by much bigger programs than us as an OC.

6 years in mike leachs system.  And in between those years he was backing up an mvp Qb. Not to mention he is a Texas high school football legend and would help major in recruiting. I love our last oc  don't get me wrong. But he had 33 years in coaching, and our team finished in the bottom in NCAA. So I think experience is a little overrated..

      Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

      Todd Whitten Before he was hired three times to coach Tarleton State, Whitten led the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks to a 42-12 drubbing of the Alcorn State Braves on Sept. 28, 1985. He ran for one touchdown and threw for two more, one to future NFL wide receiver Floyd Dixon. After the game I stopped walking back to the dorms and got to first base on a hill near the stadium. She and I never spoke of it again. In hindsight I shouldn't have eaten Corn Nuts at the game.

      Grand Canyon and Seattle to WCC

      In the back of my mind whenever I see these types of conference moves, I wonder if the conference is preparing for/expecting one or more current members to leave.

      Kansas to the SEC?

      I'd hate to be responsible for changing the light bulbs! Back on topic, I thought Kansas to the B1G was the talk of the town a couple years ago.

      Early 2024 Football Record Prediction

      Army? Here’s a reason from this latest article: “North Texas had a host of issues to address following a 5-7 season in Eric Morris' debut campaign as the Mean Green's coach. Improving against the run was among the biggest. UNT ranked last nationally in rushing defense with an average of 255.2 yards allowed per game and gave up more rushing touchdowns than any other team in the country at 37.” https://dentonrc.com/rush-to-defense/article_d2743e45-5063-5360-a8e7-cca7a8dbdd9a.html?utm_source=dentonrc.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletters%2Flists%2Fmean-green%2F%3F-dc%3D1715792412&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline Seems like stopping Army would be a challenge for the worst rushing defense in the country

      Kansas to the SEC?

      No school is going to willingly leave the SEC. I think the far more likely scenario is schools like Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern will be "kicked down" to the ACC while FSU/Clemson go to the Big 10/SEC at some point in the 2030's.
