Usually tension is good in life, but my disdain for Ole Miss will trump my gratitude to Chad Morris.

Not happening. Chad will be the next coach at Texas A&M which may happen as early as 2018. Ole Miss is a dead end job for the next 15 years.

I agree. This is now the biggest headache in the FBS. Why would Chad want to leave his home state for a problem like 'Ole Mess? Other Texas jobs will pop up soon enough.

He wants to be in Texas. Tex AM may be open soon if Sumlin cannot turn it around. Why wouldn't he just keep building at SMU until a good job is open? Only possible reason for someone taking that Ole Miss job is good money and guaranteed 5ish year contract to rebuild. I say he stays at SMU.

Uhh.. they went 5-7 just last year, in his second season as head coach.
Considering they were 2-10 in his first season, and 1-11 the year before he was hired.. I wouldn't be so sure that 6 wins is the ceiling there for the right coach.

football at $4.7 million set to rise up to $5.1 in 2019. If Morris, who currently makes $2 million, gets a $5 Million plus offer to coach Ole Miss, I think he takes it.

at the highest. Maybe would pay 4 for a proven head coach, and Chad is not a proven head coach yet. I'm certain I'd rather Chad go than BV

I'm willing to bet that BV wouldn't give that job a second thought. How many times does he have to say that he loves the comfort that he and his family has at Clemson before they hear him. Ole Miss is the one place he would never think about going to for any reason!!!

He's a Texas man and turning around an SMU program that was destroyed by the "death penalty" is one of those once-in-a-lifetime achievements. Or he can go to Ole Miss and languish under Alabama and LSU year after year.

Don't see it.
Morris has a reputation for interviewing employers as much as they interview him, and there was about a 20-point list of requirements he was going to have to have to even consider a job...he left the guys at Texas Tech and NC State quite taken aback by his demands, actually.
He is not going to walk into a collapsing house of cards just for a paycheck, and I do not see those slimy Ole Miss AD's having anything resembling an engaged eye-to-eye conversation with Morris. Especially if Morris has had his usual quadruple dose of Red Bull. The dude is blunt. And he does not like BS. And Ole Miss is rife with bull-puckey at the moment.
I wish them luck, but he's about as 180-degrees-removed from Hugh Freeze as a personality as you can get.

The Loozerville coach is more qualified for the job. He is well qualified for all aspects of ol' Miss culture.

I may have missed something here but don't they usually offer a job to a person who has demonstrated that they can take it and go. I really liked Chad at Clemson but his progress since has been a bit slow. Putting him in an enviroment that demands more may cause the law of diminishing returns to set in. Then there's the fact that he needs to wait out a better situation. Good recruits will hold Ole Miss at arms length without bowl games. On the other hand , Bobby P. will be packed and ready in a moments notice for most any kind of raise. That's the way he rolls.

His progress has been slow? You do understand SMU was an absolute dumpster fire before he was hired, right? As in "going 1-11 while playing in a mid-major conference" dumpster fire? SMU has improved every year since he's been there.

Going to Ole Miss right now would be more of a career suicide than going to South Carolina. I think he's too smart for that and wants to stay in Texas.

My take
Jul 22, 2017, 8:27 PM
|
|
Ole Miss is a dumpster fire right now & if looming NCAA sanctions are coming (& they will b/c Ole Miss isn't 1 of the NCAA blue bloods like UNCheat), that's going to be a tougher job than it already is competing under the scrutiny of being in same division w/ Bama, LSU, & Auburn. Plus feel he needs to show just a little more @ SMU. He had them close to bowl eligibility last year - if he gets them over the hump & possibly in the conference race, then he'd be due a more lucrative offer from a bigger school.
@ end of the day, Chad was a big part of getting Clemson turned around & if he feels whatever decision is best for him & his family, then I hope he does well.

SMU is on a nice trajectory and he has alumni/fan/admin support. He can bide his time and wait for a better opportunity like A&M as others have stated.

Chad needs to settle down...

Chad will never have success at SMU this way.
Seems like he started applying for other jobs as soon as he hit their campus. He needs to aggressively remove his name from this list and at least pretend he's at SMU for life so he can pull in a few recruits and land his next job on the strength of his accomplishments as a head coach.

What job has Morris "applied for" exactly since being at SMU? Good coaches on the rise will always be mentioned for open jobs. That's just the way it works.
Interested in the evidence you seem have where he is actively looking to ditch SMU.

I have a hard time believing this. SMU isn't exactly college football heaven, they're no blue blood, but why would any coach with a decent coaching future want to get involved with that mess? They're probably going to be forced to just hire the OL coach, Matt Luke, on full time and keep him on until this whole NCAA Investigation clears and they actually know their punishment.

Not to be argumentative but chad was not the architect he was the executioner! Dabo had the vision of what he needed the offense to look like and chad had the experience. If you dont believe that to be true look at the recruits that were brought in pre chad and how they havent changed. Just sayin! If you revamp a system you gotta change your parts and all we did was use our parts as they were intended!

Why would he go to that dumpster fire when he can go to Texas A&M later this year when Sumlin gets fired?
The Chad is an Aggie and a Texan. Mississippi is not on his bucket list.

This isn't actually Chad Morris. It does look quite a bit like him, but it's a video from an older guy who posted it on Vine back when that was still a thing. Pretty hilarious nonetheless.

IMO this would be a lateral move for Chad Morris because of the damage created by Ole Miss. to Ole Miss. I don't think anyone will forget this scandal. There has been so much deception, cheating, misinformation that if I were a recruit I may consider walking on at another school if Ole Miss was my only offer.
Chad is making some headway at SMU and I would think he would be on a short list if Kevin Sumlin leaves A&M. Which I think is a much better job with little baggage to go with A&M.
Idk if Ole Miss will ever totally recover from the Big Freeze era! This is what happens when winning becomes the only thing.
So thankful for Dabo and Co. a well oiled machine doing things the right way.

I don't see BV going anywhere. Why would you want to uproot your family from Clemson to be the HC at Ole Miss.
I am not say BV would not be a successful HC, but IMO every highly successful coordinator does make it as a HC. I think as long as he is being paid well and Clemson continues to build on its past success BV is happy building awesome Clemson defenses. Clemson is probably in the top 5 college program to work for. It maybe even be the best place to work, if you consider success of the program, family life, enjoyment of job, compensation, and many other perks, as well as the fan base.
Not every coordinator is cut out to be a HC.

Gotta agree with the posts saying Chad would rather stay and hold out for the A&M job. He had plenty of offers to leave Clemson but wanted to go back to Texas, so SMU made sense. Now he should really just wait for TA&M, they'll pour him a boatload of money and he's still in Texas. Plus he'd never get credit for anything he does at Miss 'cos they're going to suck for a long time, regardless of the coach.
