UVA says that Mike London WILL be back next year.

Reports are that Freeze has been offered the UF job.

So I reckon Gundy's lobbying didn't pay dividends?

I just don't see Freeze leaving. Ole Miss can be every bit as big as a football school as Florida can.

Twitter is abuzz that Clemson OC Chad Morris is going to be the new SMU HC.

If true, bad move by him with DeSean Watson taking the reigns. Would definitely improve his stock even more. Don't think SMU has the talent or the attractiveness to recruit talent to help him. That Clemson offense with Cole Stoudt is his future at SMU...and he won't have that top 5 defense to help him...

@FootballScoop: Can confirm that Chad Morris left Clemson after practice today (3pm). Folks believe he has accepted head job at SMU http://footballscoop.com/the-scoop/

@ChipBrownHD: A high-level #SMU source told me #Clemson OC Chad Morris has agreed to a multi-year contract averaging more than $3 million per year.

Indications out of Clemson are that Chad Morris has agreed to become the new head coach at SMU. Clint Brewster who covers Clemson first reported that Morris is headed to SMU. FootballScoop can confirm that Morris left Clemson immediately after practice today around 3pm. Sources tell us they expect him to be the new head coach but we have not received confirmation yet from SMU. This is exactly what we have expected and heard all along. You might recall, the very day that June resigned Scott told you he expected Chad Morris to be the next head coach at SMU. Will update…

@ChipBrownHD: #Clemson OC Chad Morris had #SMU HC job offer for at least 2 weeks, was waiting to see if Dabo Swinney would get #Florida job, source said.

I would think Morris could get a better gig than SMU. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[ATL1]

SMU would be a stepping stone if he is successful.

It could be a head stone if he's not tho

My money's on headstone. This smacks of a panic move.

This. Though at $3m per season, and at minimum 4 seasons, he's going to bank $12m...and probably still get a good OC job if he's not successful. It's the new Charlie Weiss college coaches retirement plan.

 

[RyanS12]

Not a bad spot for him. No HC experience but a ton on the high school level in Texas. His name in the state there and the style of offense will be attractive to some of the kids in Texas.

 

[jeffgt14]

Wow didn't realize SMU had that kind of money. I don't know if he'll be successful but he's not a proven recruiter so he's best off starting at a smaller school than a more high profile job playing against better team.

 

[Boss Ross]

Will Muschamp has been fired.

If FLA wants to win they would go get Mike Leach or Houston Nutt !

 

[OldJacketFan]

Chad Morris getting 3MM? Sheesh sounds a bit too much for the job and the person!

Not old enough to remember Eric Dickerson, Craig James and the Pony Express down there? SMU has ALWAYS had the money, sometimes too dang much!

If were smart they would back the Brinks to Chip Kelly and make him say no. Then go to Rich Rod and keep the D coordinator they have already.
