Eric Morris will be the next head coach at North Texas, the school announced Tuesday.

Morris is currently the offensive coordinator at Washington State, and prior to that spent four seasons as the head coach at Incarnate Word. His 2021 UIW team went 10-3 and won an FCS playoff game for the first time in program history. 

The 37-year-old played wide receiver at Texas Tech and spent 2013-17 coaching at his alma mater. He is the second consecutive product of the Mike Leach tree to lead North Texas. 

A native of Littlefield, Texas, northwest of Lubbock, Morris was also a serious candidate for the Texas State job that ultimately went to his successor at Incarnate Word, GJ Kinne.

Great get for North Texas. He’ll elevate that program. Combines Air Raid stuff with Kingsbury stuff. Great offensive mind.

As a UNT alumni, I’m underwhelmed. Not sure what it was looking for, but he’s not it. Another wide open passing coach who will not have any defensive focus. It’s the same thing we’ve been dealing with for the past 7 years.

Expectations remain low for my school.
