Seth to Mississippi State?

[Wag Tag]

To Mississippi State as OC? He is considered a top contender. Coming from the Leach tree.

My Mississippi State buddy told me that over a week ago.  Don't know where he gets his info.

Could be a great fit for both. Wish him the best!

Good for him. Would that lower what we owe him?

I think so.   Thought I read where we would still be responsible for whatever balance was left over.   So here’s to him getting a big pay day from somebody.

Yep, I believe they would need to pay him what's considered a normal wage for that position, and then we would only be responsible for the difference.

That is in a way good for him. Looking at the language in the contract concerning offset, it would definitely be good for UNT. Only thing I am thinking: that means he has to face off with Kiffen again. That didn't go so well when Kiffen was at FAU. Although, if SL is not responsible for the defense -who knows - maybe it ll work better.

Seth is a nice guy, elevated the program but didn’t get where we needed to go. He is a good person and I hope he lands quickly- for his sake and our buyout contract

Littrell will have to decide to take a coordinators job or a lower level head coaching gig.

I think he is better suited to be an assistant, but would be happy if he proved me wrong.

I know I spent 3 years railing against Seth being our coach, but I never had anything personal against the guy. By all accounts he is a decent man, and I wish him and his family all the best. I hope he has great success at Mississippi State, and I hope when he gets another shot at being a head coach, he will be successful. Congratulation Seth.

Great point. You can have differences and not agree that someone's the right person on the field, but that doesn't mean you can't wish them well in other ventures.

Exactly. I have no doubt that Seth loved being our coach and cared about his players. I wish the results on the field had been different because I did like Littrell.

As a coordinator (and now equipped with the Briles offensive knowledge on top of his extensive Air Raid knowledge), he’ll kick Kiffin’s OC’s a** up & down the field.   His hybrid offense is going to be incredible.   If he ends up taking the MSSt OC job, I look forward to keeping an eye on them this year.

Were Jerry Moore and Hayden Fry the last head coaches to leave Denton with a promotion?

 

[Udomann]

I think this would be a fantastic landing spot for him. I may have rooted for him to leave but I'll also be a fan of whatever team he joins.

Seth was just an odd duck.  I've never known a head coach of a sport so aloof and detached from fans and media.  He never touted his program or engaged with anyone outside the team that I saw.

Same.

 

Best to Seth, I hope he does well.

I think he was just introverted and shy.  The camera, the bright lights, and the microphone were not his friends.  He was so different on Tuesdays at Rudy’s than he was on Saturday…win or lose.  Glad he’s gone…wish him the best.  I think he gave UNT all he had.

Yes.  On a side note. Rod Rust, Fry’s predecessor, went to the New England Patriots after he was fired here.

Yes this!! Seth left us in a better place than he found us. Its been a while since a UNT coach could say that. 

 

As far as Seth next landing spot this is pure speculation but I think he and his family love the area. With his and Sonny Dykes connection I wouldn't be surprised to see him added as a Sr analyst/assistant role at TCU. Give baby Riley one more year to make the jump to HC ranks or another school. Then Seth is an in house promotion to OC.
