My perspective on Coach Morris ...


Jan 17, 2014, 11:34 AM

There are many reasons to think Chad Morris is a heck of a football coach and could potentially make a great head coach. But there are several reservations that an AD could have. First, the offensive talent at Clemson over the last three years has been top notch - Allen, Ellington, Hopkins, Boyd, Watkins plus solid OL and other skill players. Next year Coach Morris will have to do it with a different cast. If Clemson's offense is a good next year, then the coaching and scheme will get even more credit. Second, the offensive performance against FSU and SC cannot be ignored. Was Clemson just more talented than the rest of the competition? The wins against LSU, OSU, UGA, Va Tech, Auburn and FSU indicate otherwise - but there may be doubts about effectiveness against tougher defenses. Finally, does Morris have the contacts and leadership to hire a good staff? He has only been coaching a few years at the college level. Who does he know and will they work for him?

Coach Morris has a very good resume. It could get much better with another year - especially if Clemson's offense continues to impress.

It just seems like he's so ambitious on being a head coach that he would coach the Citadel if it were offered to him. All of this with him is getting a bit ridiculous and tiresome. Say what you want, but his little coaching dog and pony show takes away from recruiting and seemingly how it's gotten worse this year, what if this has an effect on him doing to his job this season? He's turned into a football ####. Kinda wish he'd take a loser job some where and go away.

Morris is just a couple or few years short on experience. I'm not so sure he's anxious to get away from Clemson as he is to gain experience interviewing.

He's going to make someone a good HC someday.

The ad at vandy wanted mason. Really just came down to that. But Morris is as qualified as Mason for sure. If not more so.
