Official - Eric Morris to be named next OSU Coach!

Anyone questioning the timing of the Gundy firing after the Tulsa game looks silly now. To have a coach in contention for a conference championship and the playoff locked down before the end of the season doesn’t happen if that doesn’t take place.

So much for RA’s “could be a cold dark winter”…LOL
The questio is, will he cry for this hire? :ROFLMAO:
 
The guy is from Shallowwater, TX; I don’t think he’s the type to turn his nose up to Stillwater, OK after coaching in Lubbock, Pullman, & Denton
 
Morris was my top choice--really pumped about him taking over. When it comes to QB's and offense, he's the anti-Gundy. Amazing to me that a guy with Gundy's experience could be that bad at recruiting and evaluating QB's.
 
It’s good to have some excitement for the future in the wake of these last two seasons!🙏🏻

I think it’s worth noting that he lost Chandler Morris to Virginia last year, & identified Mestemaker (who didn’t even play varsity FB in HS) and has them 10-1 this year.

Living in a world where when a player shows talent someone is making them an offer, we’ve got to have a guy who can excel in this environment.
 

“The real challenge was defense. In years one-and-two the defense was the worst in the nation. Of all the decisions made by the head man, the first defensive coordinator was the worst. North Texas built up a huge Cal matchup as the debut and it landed with a thud. North Texas was blown out the water, and getting fans into the stands was a difficult lift for the next two seasons. Long time observers know it was a series of false-starts, and wilting in the spotlight that had done it — dating back to Seth Littrell’s first year. North Texas is still on a bowl losing streak. In there were also two terrible losses in league championship games and some other Big Matchup games that saw North Texas fall flat.

We wrote recently that just one year ago, Eric Morris made the decision that would ultimately change his career trajectory. Firing Matt Caponi, and hiring Skyler Cassity moved Morris into position ahead of a light schedule to take full advantage of the opportunity. MGN has written often about how good the offense under Eric Morris has been, and simply getting an average defense would do wonders. Combine that with a light schedule — no Tulane, no Memphis on the regular season schedule — and UNT would have a chance to reach 9-and-10 wins. Well, that all happened. North Texas won 10 games — something not done in over 60+ years. North Texas is currently ranked in the top 25 of the AP poll. That hasn’t been done since 1959.”
 
The proof is not in the pudding yet with Eric Morris, but I think this is a terrific hire.

Say what you like about Chad Weiberg, but I think he's done a helluva job with hires to our basketball, wrestling, and football programs.
