He just sent in his resume. His dad is his boss. He doesn't have to worry about facing repercussions for looking around. It's not like he sent in the application this past week, either.

People are reading way too much into the resume submittal.

Bc he applied way back at the beginning before bigger schools came sniffing around. He hasn't been interested for a long time. Certainly not interested in working for RV. 

P5s aren't interested in a 33 year old with 9 games experience as an OC. 

He is just saying what he has to say. This may be his attempt to get a raise at Baylor or practice going through the interview process, but to say bigger schools want him is a bit ridiculous. Maybe in a year or two.

Agreed. Hell, we'd be taking a significant risk with a hire like this. He may turn out to be a great head coach, but I can't see a major conference team giving him a shot without a more significant body of work as an OC.

I think that is a good example of the risks of youth. Most of the other coaches on Vitos list probably saw sending in their resumes as the best way to bring their name into the conversation since that was not particularly likely to happen by itself. Briles doing it might have had to do with him not expecting for that to get FOIA'd (and I doubt he got good advice on that one). It is an experience I am sure he'll learn from....but I think it is better if he does it on Baylors dime than UNTs.

Baylor offensive coordinator Kendal Briles has told John Werner of the Waco Tribune-Herald that "publicly", he is not interested in UNT job.

Fixed!

Well, it's a full season different. And I believe I said P5s won't be interested for a year or 2. 

And to whom exactly are you referring?

Baylor just beat previously unbeaten OkSt using a second and then third string QB. Who do you think will get most of the credit for that? I believe that would be the OC. Which raises young Coach Briles' stock considerably with the big schools. Looks like he just moved way out of our price range.

I think we still have a shot at Lincoln Riley but definitely not Briles. His dad is going to make his path for him starting with at least 2 more years basking in that glorious offensive system.

And still isn't a head coach. He's most likely referring to Kingsbury, who was an extremely special circumstance hire

Either way, UNT gets screwed by quarterback play!

And none would... but we should.  UNT needs to become a springboard job for the top coaches of the future.

Other than his last name, why is everyone up in arms for this guy to come here? He's proven nothing. He has very little experience as the head of anything. Call me crazy, but if we're going to go the young OC route, I'd rather have someone who didn't piggy back off their father's success.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
