CBS's Take on HCCM

[Harry0569]

SMU

OUT: June Jones, who cited "personal issues" when he resigned Sept. 8 after two heavy defeats to open the Mustangs' 2014 season, Jones' seventh at the school. After a 1-11 debut, Jones won at least seven games each of the next four years, earning the Mustangs their first four bowl berths since the infamous "death penalty" of the mid-1980s. Defensive coordinator Tom Mason was named interim coach.

IN: Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris, a former Texas high school coaching force whose spread offense set numerous school records for the Tigers in his four seasons and made stars out of the likes of Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins.

WHAT WE THINK: No point in selling it short: for a program with as little success as the Mustangs have amassed over the past three decades to hire a candidate as hot as Morris is an outright coup. No hire is a 100-percent sure thing, but the combination of Morris's offensive acumen and his recruiting-ready Texas high school roots should make this hire as close to 100 percent as any SMU could have realistically made. A coach frequently linked with SEC and ACC jobs the past two offseasons is going to the AAC instead; that's not bad at all, SMU.
