Clemson rumor - Morris to SMU, Riley(ECU) to Clemson as OC

[Treadway21]

I believe you misread. They both agree on Morris.

Yes, you are right, I did miss read, kind of like my SAT.

Still - I drew Big 12 offsides.

good luck to the next coach trying to recruit out of a conference not in the Power 5 - I am sure the next coach will put out a better recruiting effort than June - still amazed at our second rate run AD Department and President for allowing June to stay around after the Arizona State debacle

I know we are going to beat this to death for the next decade but in my memory only 1 school has ever fired its coach in the situation that SMU faced. I think Boston College. Too many to count haven't. Didn't work out great for either side at Boston College. Firing June would have been legally difficult, caused horrible anti-SMU publicity and the timing would have incredibly damaging due to the fact signing date was around the corner. If I had to bet money, my legal opinion is that SMU would have had to pay a large legal judgment or pay a large settlement buyout because SMU consented to allow Arizona St to negotiate with him. I wanted him gone for years but realize it was impractical at the time. However, both sides should have moved the earth to come to a mutually agreeable buyout last year though-both sides are now getting kicked in the nutts because of it

In your opinion was SMU hoping that the ASU deal would go through because JJ had been measured?

[Water Pony]

Perhaps this is self-evident, but I assume when JJ resigned for personal reasons, we no longer were obligated for the balance of his contract?

[gostangs]

water i think there was a smallish buy out associated with his resignation for personal reasons….

i agree with stallion there was really not much that could have been done - except for last year sitting down and trying to come up with a "go away" number. I am guessing tiki was holding out for big dough, and we had no interest in that. We blew a year, and he blew the remainder of his career.

haha I would gladly bet a beer with anyone that chad morris is next head coach. I live literally next door to barley. It sounds to me from reading this board that multiple sources are backing up what I'm hearing on campus.

Rumors floating around a college campus give you confidence that Morris will be our next coach?

[03Mustang]

He's just saying there is a lot of smoke. No need to be an [deleted].

[SoCal_Pony]

Just curious, is there a date by which if CMorris has not committed to us that we should be concerned that he's playing us against a P5 gig?

Obviously the sooner we land a HC the better, but that would most likely work against a HC's timetable.

[PonySnob]

Looks like Watson at Clemson might have gotten injured again.

Yep. Ask your son about it, because the team seems convinced who the next guy is.

[StallionsModelT]

Its not just the word on campus. Morris is gonna be the guy barring some last second hiccup.
