Re: Chad Morris to Baylor?

Baylor will be Penn State. Minor hit. No one shut down their program they just lost half of 1 recruiting class.

Make no mistake though, if it was offered, Morris would eagerly accept and never turn back.
Baylor may be a "sh*t show" right now as some so eloquently claim, but SMU is the king of all "sh*t shows" and in no way comes close to Baylor in prestige or commitment. A B12 job, even Baylor at this point, is better than coaching SMU.
Think Scott Drew, look what he walked into and some questioned the move. Worked out good for him and Baylor. Baylor football will be back and it is a much more high profile job than SMU.
If Chad was offered, he would take it without a second thought. I am happy SMU is making strides to compete on the big boy level, but we need results first, not blind faith that SMU is turning it around. This is still a cruddy job and a cruddy program until we post results that show otherwise, and that means conference championships and top 20 finishes, not 8-5 records against some of the worst competition in FBS history and a couple of trips to Hawaii, which some confused as elevation (instead of what it was, MINOR progress).

However, I think he is a man of integrity and certainly wants to stay here until he gets it all turned around (or at least feels satisfied he has done all he could "if it's going to get turned, we will get it turned" - paraphrased public quote from him directly at a media event).

Like any coach, Morris is first and foremost a man of opportunity. Baylor would give him the opportunity to do some serious resume-padding before he takes his dream job at A&M.

Several? I can come up with one and even that one's a stretch.
