2025 DC Wish List
Morris should not be allowed to interview for the DC position. We need to have someone who understands the defense to ask the right question. Could we ask Orr to do the interviews for us? -

***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***
It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.- 2

2025 DC Wish List
We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.
