- North Texas said Morris will coach through the remainder of the season and any postseason, including the AAC championship game and a possible College Football Playoff appearance.
- The Cowboys are 1-10 under interim Doug Meacham, setting the stage for a wide-ranging reset under Morris.
- Morris is 21-15 in three seasons at North Texas, with the No. 21 Mean Green 10-1 and leading the nation in scoring and total offense behind breakout quarterback Drew Mestemaker.
- The hire is OSU’s first of a sitting FBS head coach since 1969, and reports suggest potential staff and player movement from North Texas is being watched as both programs plan next steps.
