Just got off phone with a High School coach in DFW. He says this is HUGE for North Texas recruiting. Biggest move yet for Morris. This dude is so connected in the recruiting game.

This staff is absolutely incredible. Way beyond my expectations.

Wow, this is an awesome hire. This guy has so many connections across the state.

Wish we’d have dumped Seth after the UAB game so this staff could have been a factor in the early signing period!

Time to go get some HS and portal studs!

Looks like a great hire, but the thread title just about gave me a heart attack.  I thought we were going to hire this Coach O as director of recruiting . . .

Ok, that’s him! Great addition for the recruiting role. 

[UNT86]

I hope 3 years from now I look back and this was a great hire. For now, I'll root for his success but his resume is unimpressive to me. 

Time will tell, but these "connections" with high school coaches is a very overrated thing.

Go Coach O and Go Mean Green!

Is it?  When smuT is touting themselves as Dallas’ team and signing kids from DISD while it is rumored our coaches don’t even darken their doors, I think it is terribly important. With our history of integration, this has always frustrated me. We should be much more attractive to these kids than smuT.

DFW recruiting literally runs through Coach O. He has built a recruiting empire with the offertunity camps. He is like an uncle to 75% of the kids that go to college playing football from the dfw area. His connections in Texas HS recruiting are unmatched.

Same here 😅

[Uncle]

[TheColonyEagle]

Sounds like a great hire. So he’s personally brought big time recruits to programs? Anyone we may know? 

[Marty]

Time will tell. Hope it pays off. Welcome to UNT Coach O!

Nice.  So, who was the previous Director of Recruiting for football at NT?   

I assume new TE coach Chris Gilbert (former Dir. of HS Relations at UT) will also be active in recruiting for NT.  Wonder if they know each other?

Former player Robbie Gordon was Director of recruiting last year. 

 

I am sure Coach O and Gilbert are familiar with each other.. Yes I beileve all the staff will be active in recruiting.
