US EditionCoach Eric Morris Leaving No. 21 North Texas, but What Will QB Drew Mestemaker Do?
Eric Morris led North Texas to a 10-1 record this season and is set to finish their playoff run before joining Oklahoma State after a 1-9 OSU season.
- On Tuesday, Nov. 25, Oklahoma State announced it hired North Texas head coach Eric Morris, with Jared Mosley confirming Morris accepted the position, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported.
- After Mike Gundy's departure in September, Doug Meacham served as Oklahoma State interim head coach while Morris emerged as a top candidate to replace Gundy after the poor start.
- Morris will remain with North Texas through the postseason as the Mean Green enter Week 14 at 10-1 and 6-1 in American Conference play, chasing a conference title and College Football Playoff bid.
- Oklahoma State framed the hire as a historic first for the program, naming Eric Morris its 25th head coach while North Texas will begin a national search immediately.
- Morris's hiring underscores OSU's push to revitalize recruiting and offense; he has rebuilt programs at Incarnate Word and North Texas, comes from the Mike Leach and Kliff Kingsbury coaching tree, and the move follows a $15 million buyout.
