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:

FWIW Morris calls offense to my knowledge.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
