Not a terrible conference,  but truly wish Brett would grill him on the DC and defense in general.  Too many softballs

He actually side swiped the defense I thought in that initial response to the Tech game. Obviously he wasn't going to harp on the defense only, but he made a couple of comments I thought where he was frustrated with the D.

Had a couple points that look like Eric is getting pretty close to losing his cool with the defense and some of the coaches. I don't know maybe it would be a good thing for him to get pissed off and kick some people's asses

Coach Morris seemed a bit nervous but owned up to the embarrassing loss to TTU. He even had countermeasure plans to stop this from happening again, but it sure seems NT's injuries are a factor. Injury and lack of personal were asked about 3 separate times.

The players did a fine job in the press conference.

I thought the same. He mentioned that it is almost impossible to change up the entire defensive scheme at this point in the season. Makes me think he is also questioning the 3-3-5.

Scheme wise, the 4-2-5 should be a pretty easy transition...

I did not realize it was that difficult to continue blowing coverages and missing tackles if you lined up differently.

I may be dreaming, but I seem to recall him making a similar claim last year too.

Maybe it’s just me, but I get annoyed when they basically give generic answers to everything that’s asked. It feels like they’re just skirting the questions instead of acknowledging the difficulties during certain aspects of the game.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      Again, we have an athletic budget $10 to $16 million more than those other schools we've mentioned. Why can they afford baseball but we can't? Do we offer sports they don't? Something isn't adding up. For what it's worth regarding revenue vs non-revenue sport, ECU's stadium seats 6,000 and it's highest reported capacity was just over that against NC State this year. The stadium reportedly cost $11 million in 2005 so probably would be double today. I know ECU gets great support but that just shows the opportunity is there. Would a baseball stadium that seats 4k not yield a higher return on investment than say a new $50+ million basketball arena when we average around 4k in our current basketball arena?

      Honest tactical question here…

      We hired a coach that runs the Mike Leach run and gun offense.The concept is score fast which puts the defense on the field for a lot of the game. We knew this when we hired him so why are we surprised that this is what he is doing? The problem is that we have a shit defense to begin with, and when we go 3 and out they don't have time have a brief rest between possessions . If he can fix the defense net season we should be okay. If not make a another coaching change that based upon our history will change nothing.

      I ABSOLUTELY agree! We had 77 new players, but most were freshmen. You can’t win with freshmen. They leaned too much on this IMO. It’ll take a good 2.5-3 years for them to hit their stride. By that time…hello portal.

      Flyover?

      They saw the stadium and thought the game was cancelled coz of all the empty seats.

      On the other side there is no reason to think we can compete in baseball. Its a financial drain that starts with the construction of a venue ,which I will ballpark [pun intended] the cost at at about $15 million which we don't have. Then the cost of staffing, scholarships ,travel ,Title 9 additions, etc. , all for adding an expensive non revenue generating sport seems irresponsible.
