‘Best Pound-for-Pound QB Developer in All of College Football’: What National Guys Are Saying About OSU Hiring Eric Morris

Eric Morris has been hired as the new head football coach at Oklahoma State University, a decision that has generated excitement locally and positive reactions nationally. Morris, who previously coached at North Texas and Incarnate Word, reportedly chose Oklahoma State over an offer from Arkansas. Analysts suggest that Oklahoma State's infrastructure, competitive NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) landscape, and long-standing program stability make it an attractive position. The hire is seen as a strategic move, with commentators highlighting Morris's reputation as an exceptional developer of quarterbacks and offensive strategist. Despite optimism about Morris's potential, some analysts, including Tom Fornelli, caution that the success of such hires can be unpredictable.
