5 Reason Why Morris is Just a QB Coach

1. In two season, Morris has been phenomenal at finding QB's and having them put up insane passing numbers. The problem is that no other facet of our team comes close to looking elite in the AAC. Our receivers are okay, but they drop way too many passes. 

2. Morris isn't even good enough to remain here as an offensive coordinator. Every defense with a pulse has shut down his gimmick offense. Morris is so locked in on his pass happy scheme, he has no answer when our offense needs to line up and play smash-mouth football and fight for a yard. Plus, sometimes he goes for it, when a real OC would punt.

3. His attention to defense has been appalling. Sure he finally fired Caponi, but a bunch of us regular non-football coaching fans knew Caponi was a fraud last season. Why couldn't Morris see it? A real coach would have seen it and addressed it before it reached this level of embarrassment and incompetence.

4. The best hire he has made on his staff was Cobbs, and that was probably because us fans on this message board pushed for it (Cobb has done an amazing job of patching our RB room into something respectable).

5. Tonight, Morris was outcoached by an interim that might not be ECU's head coach next season. Think about that. 

 

In short, I'd keep Morris here next year, but only as the QB coach on someone else's staff. As a head coach, Morris is shaping up to be another Littrell. He beats bums, and loses to any team that will actually post a winning record. I have no interest in watching more of this crap for two more year, while the AD waits to afford a new coach. What a waste of a 5-1 season.

The weird thing is we have (and pay for) an OC and QB coach, but Morris seems to want to play those roles.   If we can’t fire him, can he be reassigned to the two roles he seems to want to play?  Then take the current OC and QB pay and add that to whatever is necessary to bring in a legitimate HC and someone to overrule Morris when he wants to do something stupid.

EM would be elated if he were anything close to SL.

It’s ridiculous quotes like this that drive me mad.  SL was poo. Pissing contests about which poo smells worse is useless.they are all poo.

I've been preaching this in the group chat all season. Our execution in short yardage situations has been ass. 1-9 on 4th down conversions the past two games. 0-for on 2-point tries this year. On the touchdown run that wasn't against Army, we still had 2nd and goal inside the 1 and couldn't convert. Our last failed 4th down against UTSA we had 2nd and 1.

All comes down to one thing…we’re a soft team

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
