If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

His last win before yesterday  was October 12th…let that sink in 

Ohio State hasn't beaten Michigan in like 1200 days but they're still going to the playoff. What other fun calendar games we playing.

It has not even been 2 years since this program did a complete reset, and the team is back in a bowl game.  I think most G5 programs would consider that being on the right track.

We essentially tripped backwards into what will be the worst bowl game thanks to temple being god awful. Half the teams get a bowl game. If this is "being on the right track" then I think I would like to take another train

We did just as much of a "complete reset" roster-wise this season as we did last season.  And with the current level of roster turnover in college football, we can pretty much expect a "complete reset" every year.  I'm not calling for Coach Morris to be fired or anything, but I need to see something better than a .500 record to be convinced that we're on the right track.

There will be a roster reset every year going forward, 2023 was a complete program reset with new coaches and virtually no recruiting momentum.

Going by that, Seth Littrell had a far better complete reset after two years than Eric Morris.  Littrell took a team that was absolutely terrible the year before to 5-8 in year 1 and 9-5 in year 2.

I'm hoping for a bowl win and significant improvement in year 3 of the Morris regime.  We shall see.

I just wanted to be the guy to start the thread.

To answer the question…. NO. 
 

bowl games have even less meaning now with the expanded playoff.
