Here is a clip from The Athletic article that I thought apropos. (It's not behind a paywall.) So maybe he just needs a better DC. I know that feeling well. *Mods: I assume a short clip and linking to an article is okay under fair-use, but if not please delete it.

Oof. Litrell went 0-5 in his six bowl games at North Texas....I'm not sure how that happens but that's what the Athletic article said. They qualified for two of the six bowl games with five wins. He was 44-44 overall. His best years were the two years Choice was there (2017, 2018). Hmmm

Here's a comment on the next HC for NT from the President. I suppose he us saying that Littrell lacked "the vision, energy, commitment and organizational skills" to get them to a championship...although they were just in the Championship game. Weird.

Where's he going to get a HC job? Louisville? I doubt it. He could land an OC job with another school with openings, like NC State. I could see him go to Bama for a credentials boost. It's sad to say, but I'm guessing being an analyst there might be a bigger bump to some resumes than an OC role...

I mean, I really don't want to know. But I kinda do.

That's hard to believe that a grown man making that much money with that much on the line would make those kind of mistakes. Certainly not something that recommends him, if true. Sounds like he needs to go to Liberty for cleansing first! ;)

First post! Welcome. You'll find that never disagree here. And never, ever get into personal back-and-forth kerfuffle's. Feel free to criticize our new coach on the day he's announced and predict his failure. We support that type of negativism here because of free speech! And it helps us land...

Girls? Boys? Nearby weed in CO? Nebraska corn licker? What's the scoop? :)

Seems like you are presuming the student athlete's well-being is better served by transferring regularly rather than learning to win when things are hard.

Yeah, I thought the question was a bit of a 'gotcha'. I think it was Ken doing that. Dude seemed to be having a bad day. What's up, Ken? Anyway, Key struggled to articulate it, but the idea is simple: You hate losing sooo much that you prepare well. Then you don't look at the results of the...

He didn't overlap at UCF with Key at all did he? That would be interesting. I have no idea what type of offense he prefers. Being from Oregon, I would expect one that maximizes high speed athletes more than ground and pound. But I'm just guessing.

If he wins we'll figure out how to pay him. As long as we pay him competitively I think he'll stay as long as we want him. I could be wrong, and don't fault him if he doesn't stay, but he just seems to be that kind of person. I fully believe he wants to make GT the desired destination, not go...

Exactly. Things change. Few teams stay dominant long, as their coordinators and position coaches get poached. Clempson is a prime example. I think if we'd played them late in the season we'd have had a better than puncher's chance of beating them.

100% There's a point where you can make more money, but you've got enough to live the life you want. Not everyone wants more, more, more. Wealth is more than just $, despite what some would have you believe. I've made decisions that made me monetarily poorer and, at the same time, so much wealthier.

Assuming this is a regular 12-game season, no post-season. It would be better to throw out the high and low seasons first...as weird exception seasons always happen (injuries, hurricanes, forest fires that burn down opposing schools, etc.) If you did that I would say the floor is 5 and the...

Doesn't Ball run a gym in downtown? ;)

Being honest is fine. Doing in front of the nation, effectively embarrassing those young men in front of everyone, was unnecessary and shows a lack of compassion and wisdom.

Great idea! We should hire him as a Professor of Practice for $20MM a year and have him donate back $15MM per year to the GTAA. Brilliant way to move money across the boundary :)

I think part of it is on purpose and a good idea, but there's a con as well. I want managers who are free to make decisions without personal fear. So some level of financial independence is warranted so that they don't just play defensively to keep their job. We don't want leaders playing to not...

Me too. But for that to happen we need one to two great teams, two or three more good teams and a bunch of bad teams who play weak schedules outside the conference for them to beat up. That's the SEC-way, because it just means more.
