DENTON, Texas -- North Texas coach Eric Morris -- the 40-year-old Air Raid virtuoso who launched Baker Mayfield, unleashed Patrick Mahomes and found Cam Ward -- likes a process.
It's why, even days before a Nov. 1 visit from Navy, Morris is talking about cotton farms in northeast Arkansas.
Specifically, his own. They're a long-term investment. Morris recently bought his third.
"When I retire, I'm going to farm cotton," he tells ESPN. "Give me a good process, and I'll work at it. Plus, cotton won't talk back to me -- I won't have to deal with any bulls---."
