The job search at SMU has reportedly come to a close, although there is no official word confirming this information at this time. According to multiple reports surfacing Thursday night, SMU will hire Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris to be its next head coach.

The news was first reported by Cemetery Hill. Chip Brown of Horns Digest later reported the same information.

Morris is the highest-paid assistant coach college football according to a recent database of coaching salaries in college football compiled by USA Today. Though the highest-paid assistant coach in the game, Morris has continued to be a potential head coaching option if the right job came along. Is SMU the best fit for Morris?

If this does come together as it is being reported, Morris could have a shot at building something at SMU. The program has nowhere to go but up, so he would need to be guaranteed some time to put his plans in motion. This means solid job security for Morris, a Texas native. Being a native of the state should help open some recruiting doors as well. Just because SMU is in Texas though, des not mean recruiting will come easy.

There is also the impact this would have on Clemson. Morris has been a terrific asset for Dabo Swinney’s coaching staff, and the offense has thrived at times under his sideline leadership. If Morris is leaving for SMU, when he would leave the Tigers is also unknown. Clemson plays South Carolina this weekend.

SMU can afford over $3 million a year and we can't? Haha yeah ok. Remember when the Marlins' books said they needed a lot of help from Miami-Dade County? How'd that turn out?

Lmao even SMU is willing to outspend us.

This is a team that didn't kick a ******* extra point until 5 games into the season.

Why take that job if you are Morris? There are better options out there and you have to look at power 5 jobs, period. Pretty soon it will be hard to make your bones in a job/league with such a resource disadvantage.

Gus Malzahn left the Power 5 briefly and was offered a job soon after. It's not a terrible idea. 2 good years there with progress shown and he could be back in the Power 5
 
Their attendance for the year?

34,790 (opponent is located only 300 miles away)
10,107
19,436

I wish Tim Brewster would have got the job, it would have helped stop the excessive money bags going around in south Florida from fsu......

SMU could be another TCU with the right coach. Same size, same fertile recruiting area. If a small private school can make it big in Ft. Worth, a similar school can make it in Dallas.
