Eric Morris Introduced as Oklahoma State's Head Football Coach

Morris said the program’s leadership alignment sold him on taking the job in Stillwater.

Overview

  • Morris was unveiled at a fan celebration at the OSU Alumni Center, drawing a standing-room crowd reported at more than 1,000.
  • He cited Stillwater’s small‑town feel and close alignment with university leaders as key factors in his decision.
  • The former North Texas coach went 16-8 over two seasons, including 11-2 this year with a Top 25 ranking and a loss in the AAC title game.
  • He agreed to a five-year contract worth $3.8 million annually and said his family will settle into local public schools.
  • He inherits a program that finished 1-11 after Mike Gundy’s September firing, and he said he would welcome a return of Bedlam while OSU’s AD noted scheduling constraints.
