Where will Morris land now?

Auburn: On top of Gus Malzahn’s buyout ($21.45 million), Steve Berkowitz shares that if no assistants and no members of the strength staff are retained, they will be owed a combined buyout total of about $8.3 million, subject to duty to mitigate. Defensive coordinator Kevin Steele would be owed a buyout of about $5 million and offensive coordinator Chad Morris would be a due a $900k buyout. https://footballscoop.com/the-scoop/

Chad has fallen on hard times athletically but he's still getting a guaranteed 2.5million minus his coaching salary per year from Arkansas through 2023.

Lol dude was 18-40 as an NCAA head coach over 4.5 seasons and is going to bank well over $20,000,000 from that work.

That's good work if you can get it. I predict he will end up somewhere his son can transfer to when things don't work out at OU...possibly somewhere in the Southland Conference or maybe even CUSA

It would be very ironic to see Chad end up as OC at UTSA.

He will get a good OC job. I'm surprised both of them aren't being mentioned at Vandy.

No way his ego would allow him to work for Traylor... or at a school like UTSA, even though the Roadrunners are better than his Arkansas teams were.

That's not saying much...

I honestly can't see how an AD could not be laughing inside and rolling his or her eyes while sitting through an interview with Chad.

And yet, he must have really impressed our VIP's who interviewed him (says more about about our side than his maybe...).

Chad was a hot commodity coming off a successful stint at Tulsa and then again at Clemson where he helped elevate that program to the status it currently enjoys. I had no problem with the hire and he helped resurrect SMU from the dumpster fire JJ left the program in. I just think the Peter Principle finally caught up to him and agree with others that he will probably end up as OC somewhere in a P5 program, although his ego might drive him to pursue another HC position which would probably be at some FCS school or possibly in the SunBelt or CUSA at a school wanting to recruit primarily Texas kids.
