Oklahoma State hires Eric Morris as new head football coach

Oklahoma State has hired Eric Morris as its new head football coach following a disastrous 2025 season. The Cowboys, who have gone 0-18 in the Big 12 and 4-20 overall since winning the Texas Bowl in 2023, look to turn around their fortunes with Morris, previously of North Texas. Morris has brought in multiple players from North Texas, including quarterback Drew Mestemaker, named the Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year. Morris emphasized fostering confidence in the struggling team, highlighting the absence of recent victories in conference play. Team bonding activities have been implemented to strengthen the roster ahead of the upcoming season.
