Tech's defense will be awful for as long as they run their "Air Raid."  They don't get the best athletes in their conference - never have, never will. 

So, their defense will always be filled with the fourth or fifth or sixth best recruits behind Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, LSU, and just about every other regional P5...and, Alabama when they damn well want to come in and take the best.  And, they will stick them out on the field too long.

Kevin Patrick was nice here, but no miracle worker.  As pissy as Tech's defensive recruiting situation has always been, ours is worse.  The guy is going maybe a step or two up the ladder.  But...that weaselfart of a head coach at Texas Tech will never take defense into account enough to be serious.

When weaselfart is fired after next season, Patrick will be on the streets again.  Then, maybe he'll finally get back to Miami now that they have a real head coach again.

Good. His productivity sucked anyway. Unfortunately, that's fact.

That past still controls this athletic department. Its like being diagnosed with cancer and refusing treatment and just pretending you were never diagnosed.  You just die a quicker death. Il

Yep, grew up playing baseball together. We both seem to eventually end up in the same place.

I don't blame him. Two days till dead period. No HC in place. New HC may have a dl coach he wants. So no job security in SA. Also football ops has already jumped ship to UNT. Also he fits two needs of UNT. Great recruiter specializing in DL coaching. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Seriously he wasn't anything special so let's stop getting butt hurt over this and move on.

Come on man, were talking about the defensive line coaching job. KP wasn't God to this program.

I think you are missing the point. I never said he was a God to the program. I think a big issue is that this has left us without a DL coach at a time when the candidate pool is less then it would have been if Littrell had chosen one in mid December. There may be DL coaches that Littrell would have asked a month ago that now have jobs. If you don't think that ALL of the assistant coaching positions are important then I can't help you. But hey, eff it, let's just pick a random name out of a hat it's just a DLine coach.

When did I EVER say that or are you assuming?

Start having some confidence in you're new coach for once.

I'm not sure we're having the same conversation. 

You said; " Come on man, we're talking about the defensive line coaching job" I assumed that this meant to you that it wasn't very important. If that was not your intent, cool, my bad. I have plenty of confidence in Littrell. When have I ever said that I don't.

I just get annoyed that our topics on the forums are about the past and never about the future. Right now we just don't have time for that if we want to move forward.

You do realize this is the offense UNT will be running next year, correct?

Ignoring the past assures the same mistakes will be made over and over again.

But I guess that is the biggest tradition at UNT, after all.

I guess these two are ok with being mediocre.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      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 Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) 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.
