It’s safe to say that Southern Methodist University head coach Chad Morris sees the potential in coaches on the high school level. After all, he was a high school football coach himself.

After being named SMU’s coach, Morris plucked Claude Mathis away from DeSoto to serve as his running backs coach, and Morris has just selected another coach from the college ranks, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Mark Smith, coach at Hurst L.D. Bell since 2009, will join Morris’ staff as the Director of Recruiting and an offensive analyst.

Agree on one front, he's adding these guys and putting them in more or less irrelevant positions, RB coach, well hey, here's (typically) your best athletes. Which is a position the o-line coach can take too if RB coach isn't the best, so they know pass pro and run game checks and calls. Director of recruiting and office site analyst, meh spots that can be absorbed by other coaches.

The thing about the hires that benefits Smu is the connections these guys have and how quickly they can get ahold of friends and check on names they have. Interesting hires for sure.

SMU's approach- "Hey coach of 4 star DFW athlete, have you ever played against Desoto or L.D. Bell and do you know their coaches?"

NT's approach- "Hey coach of 4 star DFW athlete, have you met the old defensive co-ordinator from Buffalo?"

Yes, and why he is visiting here next.

He made the not at all ambiguous claim that because of Patrick the kid would be at UNT...I'm just pointing out that this is far from a done deal by our awesome recruiting team.

Yes, and in the same article where it states that he will visit Cincinnati, North Texas, etc... He wants to take his visit, but we are his leading school because of the relationship he has developed with Patrick.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
