Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?
Defense used to be our calling card and our offense was compared to a Buick. Now, we got the offense most want, Leach-like and high powered, but our defense is terrible. I would love to have our vaunted defense back and sacrifice a little offense. It is demoralizing to watch our defense play out of position, miss tackles, take bad angles, etc. week after week. This all falls on coaching. We recruit better now than we did then yet we do nothing with these young men. Example, Eod Brown was a handful for Army to handle when moved off the nose and into a four man front. What do we do? Go right back to the 3-3-5 failure because that is the defense that gave Morris the most fits. Don’t tell me we aren’t capable of recruiting on the same level as Tulane, Memphis, etc. We have everything they have to offer and more. Time to get away from the no defense/air raid offense. -

What media appearances? A Coach’s Show and the conference media days? Maybe post game and mid week press conferences which are little more than him having a conversation from Vito and a student reporter from The Daily. That is a waste of money.- 1

I don’t know what is standard, but Morris getting $300K for media appearances is baffling to me. -

Not going to disagree with any of this. I would have no issue with cutting football spending a bit, dumping extra in basketball, and starting baseball up. We seem to do well in about every sport except football, there's no reason to believe we can't be competitive in baseball. Make the football head coach salary heavy on incentives tied to winning only, not media appearances or anything else. Second contracts if earned can have higher base pay. If this needs to start after Morris' deal is up the fine. That just means the AD has 3 years to figure out the baseball situation and how basketball can be improved.
