I bet he assembles a team better than anyone who’s ever come prior. With his connections, I also bet he could help set this program up for the long haul. His name alone brings instant credibility. With that said, he’d probably retire than coach in Denton.
I don't know, Grant's teams seemed like they chemistry exploding through the roof, they'd run through brick walls for each other, yet I don't remember much continuity beyond 2 seasons at a time. - except for a small handful of players.
I pull for the program. I wanted Morris to be the answer, but he has proven to be just the next bad coaching hire in our decades long struggle to find a real coach.
I have come to the realization that North Texas will remain a basic program until someone in our leadership gets off their ass and actually hustles to find a real coach. Other G programs do this every few years, as they lose real coaches to higher paying power programs.
I can not express enough how put out I am with our football program at this moment. Sure, we can beat Temple this weekend, but what does that prove? .... Nothing. Temple is a bum, just like most of the other teams we're beaten this season. And in my honest opinion, that wouldn't represent a movement in the right direction. Firing Morris would, but only if we actually went out and lured an actual winning coach from the Belt, C-USA or MAC. That's what serious programs do.
