Morris moves on-Craddock moves up to Head Coach installing Traylor as Offensive Coordinator and G.J. Kinne as QB Coach (and groom him to take over for Craddock one day). Happy Happy everybody Happy-Chad leaves and SMU fans wish him well after building a solid foundation. SMU Boosters need to do everything possible to keep BOTH Morris AND Craddock happy for 2 more years
Add a top of the line Defensive Coordinator and I'd say that is the ideal/perfect plan. Hope it happens.

If you have the Right Guy then its smarter to invest in him than gamble on whether we can hire another Coach who just as easily could suck as bad as the Parade of Fools who coached this program for the previous 25 years. TCU thought they had "The Right Guy"-I definitely think SMU has the "Right Guy". Most of the Country thinks SMU has the "Right Guy". Invest in your best asset and Pay the Man. SMU failing--not even trying-- to follow the TCU Model-again
The assumption is that Morris would be leaving because of money, which isnΓÇÖt the reason. He wants to be big time ie IΓÇÖm championship material and deserve to be coaching a championship team. Most of us have been in a similar situation in our career. A promotion is available and while the money is good, itΓÇÖs the challenge that is the driver. For that SMU will always have a tough time holding ambitious coaches
