Even Todd Dodge got a guy from USC's S&C to be our S&C coach. Remember Charr Gahagan?
You wouldn't know it from reading his bio.

I wish that the Tina Yothers Sports page was still active. I’d love to hear those guys’ opinions on Coach Morris and this staff.
Dude, take a knee.

I only hope the best for him, with the thought when he's playing at a championship level, that sports reporters will mention his past affiliation with UNT as often as they do his age.

Before this recruits thread gets derailed too much… I just want to throw out very good chance UIW would have beat us this year if we played em.
Nobody else on this board has ever wanted to acknowledge an FCS could beat us. Let's just pretend Portland State never happened. I certainly didn't enjoy explaining things like that to my wife after I took her to that game.

The first time someone on here mentioned the possibility of Eric Morris and I looked at what he had done at Texas Tech, Incarnate Word and Washington State, I could see that his work had at least some factor in the success of quarterback at those places. It doesn't appear that he was qb coach at Tech during the time Patrick Mahomes was playing there; however, the fact that he was offensive coordinator makes me think he had something to do with Mahomes' success. And Cameron Ward was a pretty good success story at UIW and WSU. Anyone who thinks winning out there on the Palouse is easy needs to look at what the state of that program was after the tumult of the previous season and what PAC 12 programs have been doing lately.
And honestly, the loss of interest by UNT fans was not just because of the won loss record or the lack of competitiveness in big games, but the lack of quarterback development and offensive explosiveness since the days of Mason Fine and Graham Harrell. Noone after Mason left made our fan base feel like we could come from behind or hold a lead late in the game, or that, more generally, the offense could either win the game for us, or avoid losing games for us. One of the coaches some here were touting had the services of Hendon Hooker, who transferred to Tennessee and was responsible for a lot of the recent success there. His numbers really were not that great before he transferred, so some of the complaints we had about evaluating and developing quarterback talent could have been just as fairly made by fans of that well regarded and currently unemployed.
Y'all can say and do what you want, but I'm going to start buying season tickets and attending UNT football games again, like I did before 2020.

I’m not sure if you are joking or being serious but he was only at WSU for a year. 11 of his 13 seasons as a coach were in Texas. All 4 of his seasons as a head coach were in Texas. His entire high school and college playing career was in Texas. The man was born and raised in Texas, lived on this planet 37 years, at least 34 of them in Texas. Could you please tell me how he doesn’t have Texas roots or were you joking?
Dang, this is a rough crowd. I'm 75, and spent all my life in Texas except for a couple of years in the Army and a couple of years in the Pacific Northwest (after graduating from then NTSU). Just spit balling the numbers, it looks like I'm in the same boat as Morris as far as "Texas roots" (and hey, I don't know about him, but I've got the drawl). Of course some here say he's never coached any quarterback, been a head coach or coached at the G5 level, so maybe some board members here have more to prove than he does.

Number 28 Eric Morris is the winner.
2022 Stats
WSU Offense-79
UNT Offense-20
We're moving forward here.
So, do you really think our schedule last season is comparable to Washington State's? USC, Utah, Oregon, Oregon State and UCLA might disagree. After so many said LIttrell could win 9 or more games no problem because our schedule was so easy?

Well, it seems like he might know something about quarterbacks, which has been an issue here for a while.

With so many good candidates out there, why would we go after someone nearing the age of 70 that would draw negative publicity?
Exactly. We need to look at this realistically, regardless of how the accusations against him have unfolded: 1.) We need younger blood, and 2.) For whatever reasons, valid or not, he's been out of coaching at the college level for 7 years. You don't keep your talents fresh by not using them, and there have been sea changes in college football since then. And we have recent experiences with hiring someone with associations from that period of Baylor football. For that, we lost an offensive coordinator position being fully staffed for a year due to subsequent accusations, as muddled or unjust as they were.

I think you took my statement out of context. First, my comment about Mosley being a great guy, was included as an additional positive, not the reason why I think he is a good fit. And the comment wasn't made in reference to the good ol' boy model. Mosley seems to be a very approachable person. Based on my interactions with him, I think he seems like the kind of guy that would consider any good idea regardless of whether it originated from the country club set or an average fan. I don't think we have a disagreement, just a misunderstanding.
It should at least to be a tiebreaker. The AD should be expected, among other things, to be good at sales, and being seen as approachable could help one sell, I'd think.

They deserve a modicum of praise for finding a guy named "Biff" as their new hfc. Still, a pronunciation guide for "Poggi" would be nice.

ENMU finished 3-8.
Kason: 10 games 143/264 for 1825 yards, 14 TDs & 10 interceptions.
If he was a coach stepping down a level or two and struggling, people would attribute it to a lack of support from the new school.

🏈 Lance Leipold Named Kansas Head Football Coach – Kansas Jayhawks (kuathletics.com)
So Leipold came to FBS Buffalo from D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater. Considering that, what would you think about this guy: https://pittstategorillas.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/brian-wright/642, or this one: https://uiwcardinals.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/g-j-kinne/2626?

PETA approves this message. They think that imitating an endangered animal is offensive against those that identify as an eagle and in general it's bad for the environment.
So, should this bring the nude or nearly so PETA demonstrators to Apogee some Saturday? I hope so.

When are we changing Bonnie Brae to Danny Mac Memorial Blvd.?
Never might be too soon. A member of my extended family is a retired dentist from Iowa City who used to play golf with Hayden Fry, and informed me of the "Hayden Fry Way" street naming. That street was actually not in Iowa City but its suburb, Coralville. So, maybe a "suburb" of Denton could rename one of their streets after Danny Mac.

If Seth beats UTSA again, let's keep him.
If you disagree, please name realistic alternatives. Yes, I know I said two weeks ago I don't want him back no matter what.
Man, if he beats UTSA, we'd be on track to hit 6 and lose another bowl game in blowout fashion.

Rumor has it that Seth will be parachuting in with the game ball and then taking his place on the sideline where no one can talk to him or he to them...just a rumor.
Well, every military unit, including paratroopers, has someone designated as "rumor control". You must be that someone.

I went with (like most) conference championships, largely because that's what the current head coach defined as the goal when he arrived here. That said, it would be a real gut punch to win the CUSA championship this year and go on to lose the following bowl game, especially if we're noncompetitive.

If we're evenly matched, which I'm not sure of considering how close some of their losses were, I think they should have the edge due to being able to get out of Florida when that's a thing that would lift the spirits of many. And hey, winning one for (folks back home, the gipper or whatever else sounds good here).

Missouri State University BEARS, NOT BEARCATS...Just to be accurate.
Thank you for the correction; I should have researched that before posting the topic. At least looking it up on the Internet did make me realize that there actually is such an animal (more properly a "binturong"), and the Cincinnati Zoo loans one to the University of Cincinnati sports teams for appearances:
