Oklahoma State plans to make North Texas' Eric Morris its next head football coach, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
Oklahoma State parted with Mike Gundy in September, three games into his 21st season at the helm of the program. The Cowboys were 1-2 following a loss to Tulsa and have dropped to 1-10 since Doug Meacham took over as interim coach.
Morris will stay with North Texas through the remainder of the season and any postseason games the Mean Green make. A win this Friday against Temple would clinch North Texas' spot in the American Conference championship game, and though currently unranked, the Mean Green have a shot at reaching the College Football Playoff if they finish as the highest-ranked Group of Five champion.
Morris, 40, is a Texas native who played wide receiver at Texas Tech and served in coaching capacities at Houston, Washington State and Texas Tech. He was the head coach of Incarnate Word from 2018-21 and went 24-18 in that span, coaching the Cardinals to two FCS playoff appearances.
After spending 2022 as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Washington State, he took over at North Texas, where he has gone 21-15 to date.
