The question with Morris isn’t the man or the scheme but does he have the contacts to build staff and the willingness to bring in a few grizzled vets to help him grow into being a HC

I would assume he will bring in known OC/DC and he is an known UIW coach as well.. he has a history in the state, let’s hope Mosley and Neal give him a big budget to go get an solid staff around him.

Such a bad hire.

Underwhelming ✔️

Non QB Position Coach HC ✔️

Wasting Money on Buyouts✔️

Non Recruiting OC to HC✔️

AD Underperforming (ill start a gofundme for the banner this time around)✔️

Linear move at best, waste of money should have stuck with seth for a year.  

Get ready boys feels like 2016 again, except the uniforms are worse now. 

Not the brightest bulb are you

 

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach

Wow... We're screwed...

 

Have fun recruiting the scraps and rejects of the DFW area... Apparently that "Texas connection" means so much for these people...

[MeanGreenTexan]

How many of y'all think the players are going to stick around for a guy many of us are panning?

Keep your eye on the portal starting Sunday, 12/18.   I'm genuinely worried now.

As we all ponder the diligence and providence practiced through this hiring process, let's all make sure to give Morris a warm welcome where we know he'll see it--his Twitter feed. Fan support is a huge driver of loyalty and that's the best way we can show him.

Takes 1 minutes. Go do it.

[Mean Green 93-98]

It is a little concerning that we hired a guy that Texas State passed up on.  Just hoping they missed the next up-and-comer.

Recommendation for some - take a few minutes to check his background before you make comments that show your ignorance

Im not sure if this is an improvement, he has not coached or recruited at the G5 level.

He never recruited at Tech or WSU?

Bloesch ring any bells how'd that work out for us. He doesnt have a history of qb coach. 

[gordo nation]

We fired Littrell for this???

I don't know why we would move on from Seth Littrell to hire someone who's resume isn't as strong as his.

Initially, I'm not a fan.    But, willing to give him a try.

Took the words out of my mouth....

I hope 2023 season starts good!

He's been fully-vetted in several threads on here over the past few months.   The regulars on here know who he is.

[Big Z]

Not excited 

[gordo nation]

Yeah no wonder the attendance is terrible even after 6 bowl appearances in 7 seasons... You make irrelevant hires like this, nobody is going to care.

 

I know the students don't care. Don't come crawling to us begging for us to come to games. We do not care anymore and you've got your own little cult to worry about. Bye

From what I was able to see, it looks like they were not willing to meet the things he asked for. We will probably never know for sure.

[gordo nation]

Why tf would we move to the AAC if we still want to make dumb decisions like this??

[Cougar King]

UNT made a good hire? (On paper) I'm shocked!

 

 

Well, we know who to potentially poach in a few years if he works out in Denton.

Dude just shut up. We get it. You don’t like the hire.. we got it after your 1st comment and we get it after your 5th comment.

Im more excited about this being your last post than I am about Morris…and I’m on board with the hire.

Actually he did. One of the best NFL QBs.

The Tech offense was highlighted by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who Morris recruited and coached in Lubbock.

The athletics department was ready. Already got an email about it.

[tmjerm]

What a day of emotions for him.  Loses his coach and mentor in Leach and get his first FBS HC job.  Will be one he never forgets.

Why would they want to leave? We had a top 20 offense by the numbers and Morris had a Top 10…

Morris developed on of the top QBs in the nation in Ward, and had a top10 offense.. he has connections to Texas from his history, stop being so dramatic
