My dude went from the head coach of a major SEC program to high school coach in 2 years. That has to be a record.
I even know of a Jr High Coach in Tennessee he can call to be his DC!
quote:
Former Arkansas and SMU head coach Chad Morris has himself a new gig — in the high school ranks.
Morris has been named Allen High School’s new football coach. The Texas powerhouse went 10-1 last season under Terry Gambill, who retired earlier in March.
“I am honored to join Allen ISD and the Allen Eagles football program,” Morris said in a statement. “Allen High School is known throughout the state and nation for having a storied tradition of excellence in everything it does, and the football team is certainly included in that discussion. My roots run deep in Texas high school football, and I’m excited for the opportunity to get back to coaching young student-athletes and making an impression on their lives. As a coach, I’ll expect our students to work hard, but I want them to know that I care about their overall development as leaders both on and off the field. It’s my goal to establish a culture that can impact our student-athletes in a positive way, and I believe that will allow us to compete for championships on a consistent basis.”
Morris recently worked as Auburn’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under close friend Gus Malzahn in 2020. Prior to that, he served as the head coach at Arkansas in 2018 and 2019, and SMU from 2015 to 2017. Morris posted a 14-22 record in three seasons at SMU before landing at Arkansas, where he went 4-18 and 0-14 in SEC play in two seasons with the Razorbacks.

Makes sense. Arkansas looked like a High School team when he was the coach.

what an amazing fall from grace

If you go back to HS coaching, Allen may as well be it.

Jerry Jones musta pulled some strings for his boy.

Nope. The Flop from Opp holds that dubious distinction. Alabama’s very own Mike Dubose went from Bama to Opp High School.

Allen can do better. I mean that wholeheartedly.

Every now and then I watch highlights from some of those games.
Its so nuts how by the second game of the season, you could clearly tell nobody on the team was trying.
Like... that's so hard to do. You have to rip an entire locker room's lifetime passion for the game out of them within a few months. It can clearly happen, but to the extent it did in the speed it did... just incredible.
I'm shocked we won 4 games with him. He has a natural talent to get players to not play hard for him.

I hope Aggie Chad gets the HC position. Would be a nice "pipeline" of talent for Texas A&M.

It's still an impressive feat to take a $10 million buyout without having ever won a single SEC game. Ugh... don't get me started on buyouts and retarded ADs that agree to them for coaches literally no one else is looking at.

That stadium is about a mile from my house.

That stadium is ridiculous for a high school
Posted on 3/31/21 at 7:28 am to Jack Ruby
That is one hell of a stadium for a high school

I seriously hope Allen High School can find a better coach than this clown.

Wow what a fall from grace.
And I'm talking about Allen, not Morris

Allen HS might be a better gig than Arkansas.
