Athlon Sport reporting on impending yet amicable Littrell Separation

Coach Andy Mac · September 20, 2022

North Texas: Both the Mean Green and head coach Seth Littrell have a lot of respect for each other, which is why this long-term relationship might end gracefully. UNT was whipped by a moribund UNLV program last weekend, and it’s unlikely they’ll create the bounce-back season the end of 2021 seemed to hint at. Now a significant step behind C-USA/American transition programs like UTSA and UAB, this marriage is likely over. If UNT moved now, they’d only owe Littrell around $1.9 million, although that number could go down if they fired him at season’s end or later. UNT is aspiring to Houston-levels as they enter the American, and this will be a sought-after job.

I am confused by why the media keeps saying UNT owes Littrell money if he's fired after the season.

Seth Littrell's contract ends on Jan. 31, 2023, according to this copy I found online (and saved on my server):

https://workbench.cadenhead.org/media/seth-littrell-contract.pdf

The extension agreement begins on page 42 and extends the term as follows:

Quote

Effective March 1, 2018, the term of this Agreement is extended to January 31, 2023, subject to Section 2.02 and to prior termination as provided in this Agreement.

The title of this thread is not what they said in the article. They are not reporting anything other than we had a bad loss Saturday, they are speculating on the rest.

See below. Over here getting people’s hopes up for no reason.

Who’s Next?

Here are three schools that suffered significant enough losses on Saturday to start movement internally to make a change

Yeah, Steven Godfrey is really good on this stuff.

I’ve said it before, there just does not appear to be an appetite on either side to extend this thing any further.

someone give a million dollars to leave it would be very amicable. I probably hug them on the way out. Especially since performance was not so good.

I'm good at my job, and if my boss was like "you're great, but we're gonna fire you because we hate your stupid face, and also your mom is stupid and your wife is ugly and stupid" and then gave me $1m, I'd give them a hug and say "I love you, too," on my way out the door, because money speaks louder than words.
