re: Eric Morris (North Texas coach)

He’s an air raid coach.
We need dat Joe Brady offense. RPO kind of coach.
He runs an air raid, RPO hybrid:
Core principles
-Balanced attack: While rooted in the Air Raid, Morris's offense is more balanced than traditional versions, featuring a physical and diverse running game alongside the passing attack.
-Modern Air Raid: The scheme includes NFL pass concepts and RPOs, adapting the traditional Air Raid to be more complete and less predictable.
-Speed and tempo: The offense often utilizes a fast-paced, no-huddle tempo, though they have the ability to "slow it down" to control the clock.
-Quarterback-friendly: The system is designed to give the quarterback multiple answers and outlets, and leverage their strengths, such as the ability to throw on the run.

Get Eric Morris and hire the best offensive assistants available. Keep Frank for recruiting.
Keep Baker, Corey and Peoples. I like Kyle Williams, but the DTs have been average. Hire Mathieu to coach safeties or at least get him on staff in some capacity.

The crazy thing is they were all 3 star or less QBs coming out of HS. Mestemaker was a back-up on his HS team.
Morris really is the QB whisperer.

I've been intrigued by Eric Morris for a while. His offense style:
Eric Morris' offensive scheme is a blend of the Air Raid principles he learned from his time with Kliff Kingsbury, incorporating balance, RPOs, and modern pass concepts. His offense is designed to be resilient, using a variety of formations and plays to keep defenses off balance, while still emphasizing a strong run game to complement the passing attack. The scheme gives the quarterback the freedom to make plays, and utilizes motions and RPOs to create mismatches and explosive plays.

Morris is my top choice. Would be a great hire
Another interesting Morris fact. He recruited the 119th rated QB to come play for him at Wash St. 3 star QB John Mateer. He left before Mateer became a star, but it just shows how much an eye for QB talent Morris has.

Dude, please don't compare the American Conference to the SEC.
Here's what he's done (from 247):
quote:
Worked under then-coach Kliff Kingsbury, Morris worked with eventual first-round picks Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes. While at Texas Tech, Morris also had Davis Webb, who spent time in the NFL.
Following Morris's Texas Tech stint, he became Incarnate Word's coach in 2018. While at UIW, Morris put together a 24-18 record and led the program to two FCS playoff appearances.
While there, Morris found and developed eventual top pick Cam Ward. A virtual unknown out of high school, Ward developed into a top FCS passer before following Morris back to Washington State in 2022 when he was named offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Following a year at Washington State, Morris become UNT's coach. In his third year with the Mean Green, Morris has the program at 8-1 atop a crowded American Athletic Conference. UNT's lone loss was to a South Florida team with its own star candidate in Alex Golesh.
A huge reason for the success of the program is another find at quarterback. Drew Mestemaker came to North Texas as a walk-on who never played a varsity snap in high school. Under Morris's guidance, Mestemaker is sixth in passing touchdowns (21) and yards per game (300.22), and third in passing yards (2,702).
Apparently, he's not just a great QB developer and OC, he's great at finding and evaluating QBs.

You heard it. Blake said Eric Morris would kill it here at LSU. He must have read my post. :lol:

Lincoln Riley's buyout is estimated to be between $80 million and $90 million, making it one of the largest in college football history.

I get nervous when considering these guys from these small conferences. We see what happened with Napier at UF. You really don't know what you are getting and how they would handle the huge programs and the much better talent.
Possibly, but LSU is slightly ahead of the game vs many programs with the GM model under Austin Thomas. He came back in Jan of 24' and just started filling out his staff in the last 6 months so it's still a work in progress, but it takes a lot of the admin and roster management duties away from the HC so he can focus on running the team.

LSU isn't looking in the freaking American Conference for a coach.
It's a joke because Golesh and Sumrall keep getting brought up.
But, if you ask me of the 3, which coach has a talent for one side of the ball, it's Morris hands down.
I'm more interested in landing a talented, hungry coach than a big name. Kelly was a big name and look what that got us.

-UNT HC currently 8-1
-Former Texas Tech OC for Mahommes
-HC for Incarnate Word - 2018 Southland Conference coach of the year
-2020-21 he coaches Cam Ward into a big name at IWU and then follows him to Wash St as their OC; Ward then goes to Miami and Morris becomes the UNT HC
-First year at UNT develops Chandler Rogers (29/5 TD/INT) who transfers to Cal
2nd Season QB Chandler Morris (31/12 TD/INT) transfers to UVA
-3rd season at UNT takes FR QB Drew Mestemaker and he's 21/4 TD/INT averaging 300 ypg (through 9 games). UNT averages 44.4 ppg. Washington St that held Ole Miss to 24 points got beat by UNT 59-10.
Maybe he needs a look as an OC, because he cranks out great offenses and QBs. He makes 900k as the UNT HC. He's only 40 and likely will get looks for top OC and HC jobs. Pair him with a solid DC and he's going to be a star.

Willie Taggart also took over a struggling USF team, turned them around and went 11-2. He became the "it" coach and was hired by Oregon, flopped there, went to FSU, flopped there and then went to FAU, flopped and now coaches RBs for the Ravens.
Golesh may be great, but there isn't enough data to really make that determination.

At UF he’d follow legacy coaches Spurrier and Meyer just like LSU. He’s always had interest in LSU. It just depends on if he thinks this is the right timing
