After seeing Chad Morris as the #1 coaching prospect
Jun 10, 2013, 2:14 PM
|
|
on Espn i started to wonder if he told D. Watson he woudl be his coach for all 4 years at Clemson? or just that he would be D.Watson's coach for all 4 years? meaning wherever he ended up.... this is the part that stinx about having premeir coaches but I wouldn't have it any other way.

doubt he would say that "i promise to be here for 4 years" but rather use coach's speak "that I have no plans to leave Clemson."

Watson has stated....
Jun 10, 2013, 2:21 PM
|
|
that Morris knows he is a hot commodity, and would expect him to leave. He says he is committed to the program, not the coach.
We hope it's true

I also remember him saying that Chad Morris

is big reason why he chose Clemson and if he leaves, things could change. I don't have the link on when he said this but lets hope I am wrong and we get this kid.
Go Tigers

Watson will be an early enrollee..

So I think you're 100% right.
Don't you think that Michael Carvell and the AJC started all of these rumors???

The Chad will stay at Clemson until...

The TAMU job is open. The A&M job will not be open for a long time so you have nothing to worry about as that is the only position that is an upgrade to Morris vs. Being OC at Clemson

I agree with you except for one other possibility...Baylor. But I don't think Art Briles is leaving any time soon either. Baylor is paying him big money and A&M can pay Sumlin anything they want to stay. Texas will never hire a OC to be HC without HC experience..Muschamp might be next in line there. The other issue is, and people don't take it seriously, is Chad told his daughter they would not move while she was in High School. I think except for A&M, Baylor, or Texas he is not leaving Clemson as long as we continue to keep him the highest paid OC in the country.

While Being OC at Clemson is a great job....

I don't think your statement is totally accurate.
When people start throwing money at you, that can change your perspective of what constitutes "an upgrade" very quickly.
I could see the Kansas, Iowa, Missouri or Washington jobs being open next year. All of those teams are offense oriented and would represent a SIGNIFICANT pay increase for Chad. Like over $1 Million dollars worth. If you don't think that would at least make him stop and think about it, you're nutz.
You've heard of the price of success? Well, this is it.

I don't think there is any doubt that jobs like these will be offered to Morris. I also believe Clemson is willing to match the offers that these schools make. I agree with one of the other posters who said that he will hold out for the A&M, TX, or potentially Baylor job. If we are willing to pay him like he is a head coach, he will be at Clemson for a while. Either way, I would rather lose our OC because he is a great coach than the alternative. I remember when we had Moody as our OC back in the late '90s and he was horrible. We hired him away from UNC, and their fans thanked us for taking him away. I like this situation much better.

Morris was on Texas Tech's short list.

They eventually hired Kliff Kingsbury for 2.1 Million. That's quite the bump over 1.3 Million Morris is getting.
And don't forget there were rumors that Morris also interviewed and or was in consideration for the Auburn and the N.C. State jobs.
Bottom line is, IMHO, I don't think there is a ceiling for Coach Morris right now. He's in the drivers seat for sure.

Well let me ask you this

[ in reply to While Being OC at Clemson is a great job.... ] |
|
Would you rather get paid 1.3 mil at Clemson with much less pressure as OC or go to a school mid major school making a few hundred thousand more to be the HC?
He gets paid bc we want it take a great job to lose him and because he's top notch. I'm shocked if he leaves for less than double or a school that doesn't already have top 20 things in place like stadium, fan base, other facilities, etc.

Don't shoot the messenger.

My reply is Dabo has a plan, which is bigger than one man.

Did I say Dabo didn't have a plan?
Jun 10, 2013, 4:39 PM

I simply pointed out something that everyone with a pulse knows is happening. I didn't say that Wastson was going to BUY that line from Nick Satan and his staff, I just said you know it's what they are telling him. In fact, I didn't say anything negative about Clemson at all. Bottom line is most recruiters are like used car salesmen, they will say anything to get a recruit to say "Yes", weather it's true or false.
I'd even counter my own argument by saying look at the 2014 commitments and something Clemson is saying must be working.
There's two sides to every coin. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly.

Before Dabo I felt an originator of a scheme was what was
Jun 10, 2013, 4:45 PM
|

needed...I now see where even the Great Ball Sack lost touch in time and what matters is cutting edged vision, which Dabo has, and is why Nick Saban is whining about too many plays. Saban's Bama Championships have been handed to him mostly with ESPN/the current CFB format that is gone after this year. Even at Bama with perks Nick sees the writing on the wall.
Go Tigers!!

Who said that Saban wasn't saying that?

I would put Dabo's ability to retain his coaching staff above Nick's any day. I realize that SEC fans think that playing for Saban is enough, but it's not like Saban is the offensive genius.
