Didn't Chad Morris say once...

That he would definitely stay in Clemson until his daughter finished high school? Anybody have any idea what grade she'll be in the fall?

Can we go 5 days w/out someone suggesting that coach Morris might soon leave Clemson. NEVER DOUBT the line of coaches apply-n for the job of HIGHEST PAID OF CO-ORDINATOR in the nation might cause a traffic around DEATH VALLEY.

But I would TOTALLY start a campaign to get her to come to Clemson! Certainly wouldn't hurt his chances of staying!

I think we keep Morris through 2014 season...

I just don't think there will be that many jobs open up this year that will catch his eye. Last year would have been the year that he bolted...Texas Tech and Arky St. both opened up. He interviewed for several others and didn't get the offer.
There will not be that many Southeastern/Texas jobs open. The only one that might open is if Patterson bolts TCU for an NFL gig. If that happens kiss Morris good bye.
Either way, I think we should all be proud of what Dabo has done. We have coach's that everyone else wants and we compete nationally for recruits that the Bama's and The Ohio St's want. Nothing wrong with having that kind of program.

Morris has earned himself eternal fame in TigerTown for what he's done here. Ten years from now, any Tiger fan worth their salt would buy him a beer at the Esso, no matter what team he's the HC of. We're just trying to enjoy having the NCAA hottest coaching commodity as long as possible

USC could get rid of Kiffin if he totally bombs this year but I find it hard to believe they would offer Morris, although if we finish in the top five with a top five offense he will definitely be a lot more attractive. Washington, Kansas, and Maryland are the other ones I can think of that might open up that would at least be somewhat attractive from a financial standpoint.

Its easy to say that now, but you never know what can happen

See Arkansas/Texas Tech/Oregon/Syracuse/Wisconsin last year. You never know what can happen and who is willing to go where.
Either way Morris won't be here forever, but I'm positive Dabo will find an equally competent OC to replace him when the time comes.

Agree.
Also, if Mack Brown doesn't get UT above 9 wins this year he may be asked to step down. I don't really think UT would hire Morris but if Brown is gone after this year then Morris will definitely get an interview at Texas.
Brown is definitely under pressure to perform this year though....he has done less with more than anyone else in the country.
Also, I don't think money is going to be the overriding factor in any move by Morris. Dude is making $1+ million now and he was coaching high school just 5 years ago. He has increased his salary 10 times in just 5 years. It's not like he's reached a point in his career where it will take a big paycheck to make him move - he likely wants the opportunity to be the head guy somewhere just like most competitive people do, and as long as he's paid decent money at the right location he's gone.
No one talks about the fact Saban could get bored at Bama and opt to try the NFL again and we all know Dabo would take that job if offered. Promoting Morris to HC would definitely keep him from moving.

I changed my mind. I think it would have to be VT for the ACC championship.

It's respectable to let your daughter finish high school in one spot. She's had to move a lot already. I certainly hope he does, both for her sake and for our offense's!

it is really hard to know what will happen w/ coaching jobs in preseason. who thought Brad Stevens would be the new Celtic coach? they'll be firings, retirements, a shifting around that will always create some attractive openings.
most people think coaches are driven by money. money is nice and attractive, but they look for power and control and to build their name. a head coach will always have more power and control, etc. than an assistant position. i think Chad wants the control he had when he was the HC in high school and will make his move after this year. if he waits too long, he runs the risk of being considered a Norm Chow.... genius OC that is destined to always be in a supporting role. and Clemson pays Chad very well but he'll most likely double his pay with any BCS conference job.

Before Morris came, Dabo hadn't beaten a single team that finished the year in the top 25. He was 0-4. Since he came, the record is 4-4 against teams that finished in the top 25. The wins are FSU, VT, VT in 2011 and LSU in 2012.

I really do not see coach dabo going anywhere.. yes he came from Alabama but he loves it here and the people and alumni and administration loves him! Most men who build something do not walk away unless something bad happens and he seems to be an outstanding man! If and I say if Chad leaves remember coach dabo interviewed him and hired him to run his style of offense which we will continue to run. Now if our assistants are ad smart as we think they are they are studying and learning this offense so if Lucky we might just promote.. coach dabo has built this foundation upon which we stand and he will fight to never let it crumble... wow that's long

If Chad leaves yes it wouldn't be great but dabo will find a another top notch oc to run his offense and dabo wouldn't go anywhere
