1. Give PC 35 carries, and throw him 5 passes. If they stuff him and he gains 60 yards, so be it. I want the ball in the hands of our playmakers, not the freshman QB.

2. If Jamario is healthy, give him half of PC's carries and play them together in the backfield half the time. If he isn't healthy, don't suit him up. Running him out there at less than 100% for 8 carries a game is a disservice to the offense and to JT. Let him get healthy, and let the offense find a rhythm.

3. Give JQuinn opportunities to make plays. If we can't get the ball downfield, try some wide receiver screens or reverses. The obligatory Hail Mary twice a game is no way to use your best wideout.

I can live with getting beaten (badly) today if we at least try to get back to the things that have made us successful. If they don't work against K-State, fine, they will work against the Sunbelt--we've proven that for four years. We won't succeed this year by throwing the ball 20+ times with a freshman QB.

This is the one the I hope for the most. NT has NO intermediate passing game and really hasn't for some time now. When NT does throw it's always those Hail Marys you talked about and that doesn't make for a successful passing game.

try some wide receiver screens

I agree. It doesn't have to be only WR screens, but I some NT run a ton of slants in the scrimmages and I really haven't seen us go to that during the season at all.

A short passing game will get people out of the box. We don't have to run the spread to get to a 7 man box.

I think people are obsessed with getting the ball deep down field, and that would really yank extra defenders from the box, but wea re not that team right now. Show something in the passing game, short passes to intermediate, and that 8th and ninth guy will have to defend, or we are going to nickel and dime them down the field all night.

Perfect example is what Texas State sis to A&M the other night. They were very efficient in theie short-mid range passing game.

I expect to see a decent showing today. I truly believe the team will rebound and look much more like the team we are all used to seeing. With that being said, this is a young team and things like last week happen to young teams. The snowball got rolling and they couldn't stop it.

If history is any indication, DD teams usually bounce back strong from poor showings. Until otherwise, I believe that will happen again. I'm not saying a win just a better showing.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      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.
