Is Morris waiting on A&M?
Sorry guys. I know my opinion doesn't matter, but... I don't understand why, regardless of circumstances, we would be excited about a head coach with a 17'ing 14-22 record that's best finish is 4th in his division. That is essentially... Croom. Please spare me.
2015 SMU 2–10 (1–7) T–5th
2016 SMU 5–7 (3–5) 5th
2017 SMU 7–5 (4–4) 4th
How quickly people forget Chad Morris was the hottest name in the country when he took the SMU job.
He had to play with a true freshman qb last year after the starter went down early in the year.

Whenever you are talking about SMU and Chad Morris it has to be in context. Yes his record is a losing record. It has also improved every year he has been there. He would be a great coach as long as he is paired with a great DC.
Record shouldn't be used as a criteria when judging a head coach? That's certainly a bold strategy Cotten.
You basically described the situation Mullen came into at State. The difference being the AAC should be easy as hell for a good coach to win in... The SEC isn't going to be nearly as easy.
FWIW I did notice this tidbit "Morris is one of only four such coaches along with Paul Johnson at Georgia Tech, David Cutcliffe at Duke, and Mike Leach at Washington State."
Current coaches that didn't play football at the college level.
SMU is and always will be a shit program. He’s an awesome coach.
I?ll be honest, I forgot SMU was still playing football till 2 years ago, literally nobody was talking about them.
I watched one of there games this season and they are very aggressive on offense. Shifts, uptempo, trick plays all kinds of different formations. They put a lot of pressure on defenses
The guy that signed Deshaun Watson for Clemson is a hell of coach. This would be a homerun hire and a grand slam if Cohen keeps Grantham too.
