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.

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

      I've been griping about this for decades at this point. It is amazingly dumb and does nothing for us. Did he have a better deal on the table? Unlikely.. Would it keep him here if he did well and a big program came calling. No. It doesn't do a dang thing for us. Yet again, and again,and again, and again we do it. It costs us every single time.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick
