Take away his 2 FCS Texas (ACU and SFA) wins and in two seasons Morris is now 0-5 against in-state FBS teams.  So much for those Texas ties everyone seems to want to put as the number 1 priority in hiring a head football coach.  

He's 6-10 (.375) against conference opponents...those teams we are suppose to be able to compete against.  He was lucky in that 4 of those 6 wins came against Temple and Tulsa who went a combined 13-35 (.270) in the last two seasons. 

Seriously, given his performance here (and elsewhere for that matter) what exactly gives everyone so much hope that he's the guy to take us to the next level?  

I think there are legitimate concerns, and legitimate reasons for optimism.

Wow you are damning him and his supporters with real data.  📈

agreed, especially with the new portal additions. 
 

But, surely, this is his make or break year.

So more uncertainty. Uncertainty for a coach going on his 3rd year. This is kind of the problem.

He brought it on himself.  This coming season will determine if Elf will either become a great head coach or a lifetime offensive coordinator/QB coach.

Agree. A poor showing next year and he should get the boot.

Yup 100%.  He needs a big breakthough season or he is done.  Jarod isn't going to risk his own neck and will want to get another hire that will buy him time.

Can you at least clarify?  I could point a scope at nearly any staff in the country, no matter where they are in tenure, and find some amount of uncertainty.

In 2 years has this staff addressed any of the concerns we've had since the beginning? This year's team was almost a carbon copy of last year's; fast offense and poor defense, vaunted offense sputters out at key times when defense does play well, poor game management by Morris, same undersized lines, same almost could have won that game scenarios, etc. Going into year 3 how do we know any of that will change? We don't, hence the uncertainty.

For sure.

I think you'll always have some issues that will be attacked.
I think you'll also, with any staff, have some issues that are just tendencies and won't go away.

The former, we know that Morris is trying a new DC
The latter, for example, I'm not holding my breathe for the QB under center any time soon.
