Since we're all just throwing darts, here's this guy:

Matt Moore, current Troy OL coach and Co-OC.

  • Troy runs Air Raid.
  • Played for Leach in the 90s
  • Coached with Leach when Graham Harrell was a player
  • Coached at LT and MTSU

So he's got plenty of mid major and P5 experience.

I'm down, but I think we are in need of someone with ties to recruiting in Texas.. Not saying he doesn't but someone like Hays that already does is a major plus, and the guy from OSU has coached in the SEC and Big 12 so he has a background that would appeal to kids.. But I think think Moore is someone to watch with Troys success and his ties to the members on the staff

The huge thing that appealed to me was that he was Tech's OC for a couple seasons and he's currently a Co-OC.

I think his experience could be helpful for Harrell.

Anything to help this staff, and GH... Improved OL play will just lead to a more successful team.. Keeping the offense on the field will lead to the defense being fresher

With that said, the OL Coach maybe the most critical spot this year and next because of the youth that we just brought in. SL needs to be confident in that coach, and someone has a proven record of coaching up kids.

The Troy coach, OSU, and Tech coach would all be solid additions.

Another shot in the dark since I'm bored: Lee Hays

Recently replaced Tech OL coach, former Baylor OL coach and OC, former West Texas A&M OC

Good find.  Could definitely see this happening.  His prior salary at Tech ($210K) is not that far off from what he could get here.  Seems like he has got a heck of a lot of experience and has been all over Texas and has a history in the Air Raid.

ETA:  Just noticed that this was also a potential candidate the Vito mentioned.  Could be a strong contender.

Was let go by Tech, and has been all over Texas... Davis seemed to recruit in HOU and Hays has 2 stints there

Another to watch could be the former OKState OL coach

      I whole-heartedly disagree. We are not a mob. We are the fan base, and the only ones that actually give a crap. That's why we are demanding more than the sh!t show that is currently being feed to us. I refuse to marginalize the frustration of our fans. And if our AD can't or won't fund a Morris buyout, then he needs to be replaced too. Our stadium is usually half full on game day, when we have around 400,000 alums within an hour of campus. It is time we get someone that can build a real program in Denton, not make excuses for why we should continue to accept failing in football.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      When I was at the game watching the disaster unfold, only to check Mosley's Twitter and see him retweeting a Christian rapper during said disaster, I felt embarrassed for paying to be there.

      Why does Morris still have to be here next season? FAU was able to fire Herman in year two. Tulsa fired Wilson in Year two. Charlotte fired Poggi in year two. All three were hired the same year as Morris. Why can't Mosley fire Morris in year two? If three of our peers in the AAC can fire coaches in year 2, why can't North Texas?

      If we can come up with 2 mil, we can fire Morris. We're a poor program, that's not going to happen. He will here next year and his coaching seat will be hotter than the Sahara in the summer.
