It happened under his watch. No way he his head was in the clouds on these acts.  You can forgive him, but he’s earned a lifetime ban from Coaching young men.

That is kind of ridiculous to stretch my statement into saying that I suggest he led young men astray.  Moral oversight means being aware and vigilant of major off the field issues and taking appropriate action when you discover players and/or coaches going rogue.  He failed at that.   Fact is that he is 66 and I want my OC to be around 5 years or more if possible.  That isn’t the stage of his life or career.  And he is totally unqualified to hold a FBS head coaching position with his moral oversight failure IMO. I want an OC on his way up not on his way down coming off a very bad scandal. 

You said he should have no contact with players or recruits. In what way did his contact with either lead to a sexual assault in Waco, Texas?

Then why is his number 2 coaching for us? And why did we hire one of his staunchest defenders as qb coach until we had to let him go? I guess the head coach is the only one responsible for the acts.

Because that isn’t what I would need him for at this stage of his career.   You have a whole staff more than capable of interacting with recruits and players.  Whether they are  right or wrong to feel negatively toward Briles,  I am sure there are plenty of parents that would try to steer they son away from a coaching staff prominently featuring him.   So I don’t feature him and recruit/player contact is totally unnecessary.  ( And I bet right now GSU would like a do over to hire him as a consultant instead of OC because he was forced to resign purely from PR.   ) Now does what I said make sense?

Man, you ok? Tough day for Art Briles, getting drop kicked like a Tevin Elliott girlfriend again. I guess he’s just too toxic for anybody. I know one thing—he will never coach one day here.

The big-time college coaching career of Art Briles effectively died on May 26, 2016. The coroner’s report listed sports media-induced “cancel culture” as the cause of death.

In an attempt to quell a media firestorm, Baylor fired its most successful football coach in history immediately after listening to a law firm’s oral report on a flawed and arguably racially-motivated, nine-month investigation into a campus-wide sexual assault problem. The report helped the media paint Briles’ football program as renegade and dedicated to covering up the criminal misdeeds of its black players.

In football circles, Briles’ name became as toxic as disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The social-media mob chased Briles out of the Canadian Football League and across the Atlantic Ocean to the Italian Federation of American Football. 

Today, Briles is the head coach of a small high school in Texas. He returned to his roots, the original prep platform where he perfected the spread offense that would make Baylor a national powerhouse and Robert Griffin III the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner.

It's kind of hard to see why this is on our football forum, other than a lack of anything else. He never had a chance of being hired here. There seems to be some undercurrent of support for his rehabilitation, but we are in no position to do anything but look forward to the next hfc coach hire for UNT, who needs to be someone without the kind of baggage that the Briles name brings. Doesn't he have a retirement plan sufficient to get us past some kind of pity party for the guy?

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.

      Hes 73 and will not coach forever... That said, if you can bring him in and have him coach just a couple seasons to get the program on the right track before retiring and handing it off to someone he has trained as his replacement.
