Or is it?

We don’t exactly have a huge NIL program to pay players. Just making an assumption, but you’d think he’d have garnered more money from somewhere else, just not the promise of actually getting serious playing time like UNT can offer

Outside of Marcus Trice, what P5 transfers have excelled here? That isn’t crap, just reality.

So you're OK when a player commits to us to automatically start talking crap. That in itself tells you a lot about our fan base.

Getting a former UT guy is pretty big. Seems like this guy wants to get playing time, with NIL being an afterthought

I didn’t think this was allowed ( according to some posters).

It's a different era. With more than 1500 players in the portal, there's bound to be legit talent transferring for playing time out of that 1500+.

We definitely haven’t seen someone transfer in and make an immediate high-level impact if they hadn’t already been a major contributor at their previous school. Timing has also been important, with winter enrollment being a huge advantage to learn the system during spring practice. Trice, Maclin, Guyton and several others were ok players in year one but didn’t excel until their second season. And almost no summer enrollee from the JUCO ranks has done much. Guys like Cleveland and Mazin played a ton and were able to contribute significantly in year one.

Honestly, this is exactly the type of transfer we should be going after. Redshirt freshman who's spent 2 seasons in a P5 strength and conditioning program. He has P5 size, something we lack, and he'll use his free transfer to come in. We can have him for 3 seasons before he can leave again (unless be wants to sit out a season). He's also from DFW so this is coming home for him. If you're not excited by this commitment, you're just looking for reasons to be negative.

Not trying to take away from these young man's announcement but with this many players in the portal can you imagine how crazy the spring portal will be also. A lot of these transfers will be taking over positions at other schools and then more players will be transferring out in the spring.

Great point. Just like the young man we lost at the end last year to Florida State a lot of high three stars will go to some of the top programs but will find themselves too far down the depth chart as these schools like Florida State or Texas are constantly adding four star and five star players. Hopefully this young man works out and has a great career at North Texas

We had the last ranked defense in the country last year. If you’re bitching that we are trying to improve it, I think it says more about yourself than said player.

I really think things will slow down for many of these players after their first transfer. These young guys aren't getting the Covid year so they'll get their free transfer and then their grad transfer, unless they don't redshirt. We'll certainly see big transfer classes every year until the system changes but you won't see as many multiple time transfers as we're seeing now

That's the other big factor I think we're seeing play out. Those who went to the biggest offer they had may realize their playing time will be limited and choose to transfer out. It's also a good opportunity for our coaches to rebuild quickly. Like I said above, once the covid year players move on, I don't think we'll see as big of an exodus as we've seen this year.

I'm not too excited about this yet mostly because I no longer know what it means to "commit".

At this point, has he done something that has contractually committed himself to being here Aug 31?
If so, I'm excited.  If not, I'll wait until Aug 31.

My thoughts at the moment as well. We’ve seen many flip their decisions. Kids are fickle at this stage.
 

Once their names are out there, programs with the financial resources will surely be waiting to throw money as the window closes. Maybe he’s here for what was being mentioned in another post…rebuilding his stock by gaining playing time to increase his NIL value as a graduate transfer.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.
