I’m torn on this one. You don’t pick up the first, you still have a chance, but the game is likely over. Punt it and you extend the game. ECU won’t want to risk a turn-over around their 20, so they go conservative. Maybe we force a fumble. We need our defense to get a stop which may be as risky as 4th and 8. I dunno…coin toss. We ultimately got the ball back, but down now down two scores.

Agreed. It’s pathetic.

1. In two season, Morris has been phenomenal at finding QB's and having them put up insane passing numbers. The problem is that no other facet of our team comes close to looking elite in the AAC. Our receivers are okay, but they drop way too many passes. 2. Morris isn't even good enough to remain here as an offensive coordinator. Every defense with a pulse has shut down his gimmick offense. Morris is so locked in on his pass happy scheme, he has no answer when our offense needs to line up and play smash-mouth football and fight for a yard. Plus, sometimes he goes for it, when a real OC would punt. 3. His attention to defense has been appalling. Sure he finally fired Caponi, but a bunch of us regular non-football coaching fans knew Caponi was a fraud last season. Why couldn't Morris see it? A real coach would have seen it and addressed it before it reached this level of embarrassment and incompetence. 4. The best hire he has made on his staff was Cobbs, and that was probably because us fans on this message board pushed for it (Cobb has done an amazing job of patching our RB room into something respectable). 5. Tonight, Morris was outcoached by an interim that might not be ECU's head coach next season. Think about that. In short, I'd keep Morris here next year, but only as the QB coach on someone else's staff. As a head coach, Morris is shaping up to be another Littrell. He beats bums, and loses to any team that will actually post a winning record. I have no interest in watching more of this crap for two more year, while the AD waits to afford a new coach. What a waste of a 5-1 season.

Admittedly it was over 15 years ago, but I coached middle school football for 5 years and only saw one field goal made that I can recall. Maybe things have changed.
