The qualifier in () is maddening. This kind of mindset is why NT fans should never expect anything more.  A 9-win season every once in a while, sandwiched between a bunch of 5 or 6-win seasons (o

Give me one reasonable target you would have rather us signed? Signing a QB that won starting job in the Big 12 2 years in a row and has two years of eligibilty seems like a pretty good win to me

Definitely worth the wait. Seems as though we’ve solidified ourselves for another year of elite offensive production. Just imagine, CM had similar stats to Rogers while playing in the Big XII. Just imagine now. 
Jumping the gun, yes…but I like this move.

Looks like a very solid addition to the QB room.  I hope we made the right decision by going with a QB xfer that will not be here until Fall.   guess the upside is that the other QBs will get more reps this Spring.

Sign Reese!! Need a stacked QB room! Congrats to all! GMG 

This^^^ I want to have a solid QB competition. I don’t want Chandler Morris to get handed the job. He’s gotta earn it!

I just don't understand the excitement on this pick up. 

It’s not really excitement over the athlete, it’s excitement over the position. Coach Morris has plenty of experience taking a QB that is not hitting everyone’s radar, and turning them into the general of a really good offense.

maybe “relief” would be more appropriate?

If he can stay healthy, this is why I'm excited about this pick up. Also, look at the Morris-Conwright connection! That will be great to see again!

This was my favorite option. I'm stoked, not gonna lie. Kid is a winner. State champion, coach's kid... he beat out Max Duggan for the starting job before he got hurt. In Morris' offense, I think we're looking at video game numbers. This is your starter, no questions asked.

A proven winner with 2yrs eligibility is big. Would like to also sign Mooney with 4 yrs of eligibility.

Morris should have taken those nil deals and we shouldn't burn any NIL money on an oft injured player when we are poor. It just seems like a UNT move to misallocate NIL funds. I don't know I guess I don't think Whataburger would buy a grill that only turns on 50% of the time. If he's just on scholarship it's a great pickup. It's not a nice outlook of NIL but all of these players are commodities and this has a greater percentage to be a poor investment than a successful one.  It doesn't matter at USC or any other school that offered him that amount but we can't even afford to fire the worst defensive coach in college football man. Obviously I want Humpty to prove me wrong and led us to an aac championship, I would be f**king ecstatic.

I think we often exaggerate injury prone when we talk about football players. Most football players get hurt and play hurt. The question with Morris isn't when will he get hurt, the question is how severe will  the injury be and if he has to miss time, how much? SMU, Tulane, and UTSA all lost their QB1 to injury at some point this past season. It happens.

Also, about Morris' injuries, he hasn't suffered any season ending injuries the past 2 seasons. When he got hurt in 2022, Max Duggan just took off with the starting job and never gave it back. Morris was only out for about a month.

1. Pavia is also the guy that pissed on the New Mexico logo. Not sure he is the face you want leading your program. He came to visit to North Texas last week. Sounds like we could have landed if we wanted. But Morris was always the top target. Pavia completed almost 10% less of his passes than Morris did the last two years. That could play a big factor when evaluating QBs for an air raid system. 

2. I understand the injury concerns. Frank Harris was pretty injury proned but he was able to win quite a bit. 

3. It has been said on here numerous times. I trust Morris and their judgement when it comes to Quarterbacks.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
