Coach Jason Smith moving on

[El Paso Eagle]

I guess when Morris did not hire him as the O-line coach he felt it was time to move on.

Based on his new profile, he is now the Offensive Line Coach and Associate Head Coach at Coffeyville Junior College

Just a question but why did we not consider him as our hire?  He seemed to really care.

I'm not sure if he was considered or not. I hope the new O-Line coach works out, but I wonder why Morris seems to avoid hiring coaches without much on-the-field experience.

Maybe Leftwich has his own guys he wants to bring in?  Smith seemed to do some great things here. Wishing him the best moving forward.

How do we know this move wasn't planned before Morris brought in Leftwich? Associate Head Coach is a nice bump in title and responsibility even if it is at a lower classification. Maybe Smith felt it was time for a new challenge.

In the same breath, I really want Morris to find a way to bump up Cobbs' pay and give him a greater title. He's earned it. Co-OC at the very least should be in the works in the next year or I'd imagine bigger jobs will come calling.

This 100%. It's almost as if he underpaid PC (based on what he paid others) since he knew he wanted to stay at UNT.

The guy they hired for OL coach had no on-field experience.

Cobbs has earned an upgrade 100%. We can’t keep relying on his love of the university to keep him here. Loyalty can only keep him here for so long if his title/pay/overall power doesn’t improve!

I took a quick look, so it might be off a bit - here is the FBC on-the-field coaching experience for the assistants before Morris hired them:

*Neither DC nor OC had previous coordinator experience

Cobbs needs a good pay raise for sure.

FWIW Morris calls offense to my knowledge.
