The Best College Football Coach You've (Probably) Never Heard Of

Eric Morris is emerging as a notable figure in college football coaching, particularly recognized for his ability to develop quarterbacks. Currently the head coach at the University of North Texas (UNT), Morris has led the team to a 7-1 record, positioning them as contenders for the Group of 5's playoff bid. His track record includes serving as the offensive coordinator for Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech, recruiting Cam Ward, the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and identifying talent in John Mateer, a Heisman contender at Oklahoma.

Morris's success with quarterbacks has not gone unnoticed, although he remains under the radar in the current coaching carousel, which has seen significant attention on big names like Lane Kiffin. Despite this, Morris's ability to identify and develop under-the-radar talent positions him as a potential future candidate for high-profile college football programs. As the coaching carousel continues to evolve, Morris is expected to become a sought-after coach in major college football in the coming years
