The coach is Guy Morriss, who also coached at Kentucky and Baylor and played 15 seasons in the NFL with the Patriots and Eagles. “I’m proud of my players for doing that,” Morriss said, according to an incident report. “This was the best team building exercise we have ever done.” No one has been arrested over the removal of 2,000 copies of The East Texan on Feb. 25.
