Auburn has hired former Arkansas head coach Chad Morris to be its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the school announced on Tuesday. Morris, whose friendship with head coach Gus Malzahn traces back some two decades, replaces Kenny Dillingham, who left for the same position at Florida State. "I'm super excited to have Chad Morris join our staff at Auburn," Malzahn said in a statement. "He's a tremendous offensive mind who has had success with several top-ranked offenses during his time in the college ranks. I've known Chad for almost 20 years and he is a tireless worker and a perfectionist." Morris went 4-18 in two seasons at Arkansas before he was fired a month ago. Before that, he was head coach at SMU from 2015-17 and offensive coordinator at Clemson from 2011-14. At Auburn, Morris will work closely with starting quarterback Bo Nix, who has started every game as a true freshman this season, leading the Tigers to a 9-3 record while passing for 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. Morris' son, Chandler, who is an ESPN 300 QB, decommitted from Arkansas when his father was fired. Auburn was one of his first offers when his recruitment began.
I liked Bielema he just got lazy Chad fucking sucks dude. Idk what to tell you. Maybe he’ll be a decent OC again but he has no business running a program. He never answers a question and I just want to punch him in the face
Our two coordinators have to be the worst duo of Head Coaches at one school. Chad is like 4-20 and Steele was like 2-20
on chad to auburn? if gus calls plays i don't think it makes any difference whatsoever. if chad is calling plays he will either be fired or gus will be fired by 2021.
What’s going to be crazy is when they have a great bowl game, and Aub gives Gus an extension. Then once the QBs have a chance to study under Morris and he gets in their head, next year everything goes sideways. Going to be interesting to watch for sure.
Whenever you have the chance to add an SEC coach who went 0-8 in conference and lost by 100 to Western Kentucky, you go and get him.
He might be a good get for Slaw. Not sure y'all have had that highly ranked QB since Gus brought in Mitch Mustain
