Not a good idea to go somewhere you can't win for your first head coaching job, Morris too smart for that.

He'd be a fool to go to UK
Nov 5, 2012, 10:55 AM
|

other than desire to immediately be a head coach, there is no reason to jump to UK. They care more about Midnight Madness than the football game the next day.
He could hold out for much better jobs.

He's probably content to earn $1.3 M and learn from Coach

Swinney about running a program the right way until he has enough of a track record and experience to warrant an offer from a school where the odds are great that he can have success.
He's got such a great job right now, that he can afford to be very picky in what HC job he takes.

While we all know Morris will leave Clemson one day....
Nov 5, 2012, 10:57 AM
|
|
when he does, it won't be for Kentucky. There is a good reason why they;ve had five different coaches in the last 20 years and Morris knows it.

Tennessee and Iowa will likely be looking for new coaches..
Nov 5, 2012, 11:12 AM
|

after this season and while both of those jobs would be appealing, I don't think either of those two schools would consider hiring a coach with no previous head coaching experience at the collegiate level. There will also be other head coaching vacancies at seasons end (Boston College, Cal, Purdue and Kansas just to name a few) but I don't think any of those job would be of any real interest to Coach Morris. He has the luxury of being picky and patient.

Other potential schools in the next few years...

When (not if) Morris takes his swing, I imagine it will be a school that has good support, has been competitive in the (relatively) recent past, but for whatever reason just hasn't been able to get back to that level. I can think of quite a few in the Pac12: UCLA, Arizona, AZ St., Washington. Or in addition to Iowa in the Big 10: Illinois, Michigan St. That sort of program.
Schools like Kentucky are where coaching careers go to die...can't imagine him being interested in that.

I know Chiz is on the hot seat....
Nov 5, 2012, 1:05 PM
|
|
and in spite of one of the worst Auburn seasons in recent memory, I really don't see Auburn firing him just yet.
Chiz recently signed a new contract (in June of 2011 I believe) as a reward for winning the BCS Championship. The buyout, which started at a whopping $10 million, will still be nearly $8 million after this season.
Also, in what amounts to a major rebuilding year with two new coordinators on both sides of the ball, I think he gets a bit of a pass although the reports of players complaining internally about a lack of leadership certainly aren't helping him.

#1, Chad is going nowhere for at least two more years.

#2, when he does leave it won't be for the likes of KY.

Chad can do better than Kentucky. Venebles
Nov 5, 2012, 11:33 AM
|
|
more likely than Chad a this point because I think Chad can land a better job, closer to Texas. Venebles could improve his stock with another year or two at Clemson, especially if we land some of the recruits we have on the board.

CM may leave after this year, but it will NOT be to uk

He'll have better offers than that out there. Arky, Awbarn, UT are all strong possibilities.

I don't think that Dooley is heading any where just yet. He has only been there for Three years, and has a good looking offense. Dooley job is safe this year at UT.

Everybody in Tennessee says he is gone
Nov 5, 2012, 12:44 PM

I think they are a bit quick to the trigger especially after changing defenses this year, but all of the UT homers are saying he is gone. Many of them think Gruden has already agreed to take the job.

if that is your opinion, you might want to head over to the message boards at www.volnation.com
they are singing a different tune over there.
