"Eric informed me earlier today that he has accepted the head coaching position at Oklahoma State University.Â
On behalf of the University of North Texas, I want to express our deep gratitude to Eric for everything he has done for Mean Green Football over the past three seasons. He took over at one of the most chaotic times in college athletics and brought great success on the field, including two bowl-eligible seasons and the program's first national ranking in over six decades, while our student-athletes excelled in the classroom and in the Denton community.Â
Coach Morris has committed to leading our team through the remainder of the season as we look to finish this historic year strong.Â
We wish Eric, Maggie, and the entire Morris family nothing but the very best at Oklahoma State.
A national search for the next head football coach at North Texas will begin immediately. We will have no further comment until a new head coach is named."
