My guess is that Briles is such an offensive genius and will run the offense that Orr can just come home. 
 

But I’d rather have Orr as DC and leave Gary at home.

Morris is still in good shape. His team is fun to watch and he just posted one of the highest attended games in program history. He also has a chance to win a bowl game. Something that hasn’t happened here in too long. 
All he has to do is get the defense to slightly above average and we have a legitimate conference contender and excitement heading into next season. 

I have my doubts.

Eh too late 

Very much so and without a bowl win at any serious program bringing him in conjunction with a never finishing a season above 0.500 would get you fired.  We don’t have body bag games maybe we should bring them back to help test and finance the cost of bad coaching hires.  😂

I really hope our head coach and athletic director are not consulting a fan message board to determine major personnel decisions.

Why not because it appears they are clueless.  Doing things outside the box might yield some results and at least show fans you are really trying without regard for “Old Denton”.   Old Denton wasn’t invested in winning,  just some sort of vague local relevancy I am not sure is possible without consecutive 10 win seasons no matter the teams we have on the schedule.

I want Coach Ed Gennero to run the show. Also, I hope we could find an old farm boy and a science teacher with one year of eligibility left to lead the team.

I'm glad Caponi is gone. His firing is long past due. 

My problem is that most people knew during Morris' first year that Caponi wasn't the answer for our defense... except Morris. Morris let Caponi go into his first season at UNT without the players to run his 3-3-5 defensive scheme, and so UNT finished dead last in defense that season. Morris allowed Caponi to continue force feeding us the 3-3-5 going into year 2, and Caponi brought in a bunch of transfers, but the results have still sucked, even after we implemented more traditional schemes. And to make things worse... Morris has a habit of passing up points and going for it on 4th, which hasn't been successful against teams that can actually win games. Plus, Morris has no jumbo package for short yardage situations, which makes it easier for defenses to scheme against us on 4th down attempts. All of that to say, Morris is also a big reason why our defense sucks. Morris' decision making tends to place our defense in tough positions. Who is going to rein him in.

Just seeing this!!  Fantastic....but...why the wait??   

We could tell this was a disaster long before now.    Now the season has already been ruined and any interim can't make much impact on changes they might want to make.

Regardless.......Great news......just 11 months too LATE!

I believe that is how a majority of changes are made at the FBS level = Fan Base and Donor pressure! 

Who else are you trying to lure to watch games and give to the program?

Zach Orr is a defensive guy.

All the more reason to bring him in to be the OC. He KNOWS what defenses will do.

 

BRILLIANT!!

I wonder if there is a samurai lineback we can recruit out of the military??
