about this....
Big jobs like UF, ND, tu, UT, Washington, VT, Auburn and A&M are currently filled by guys who jumped from G5. The other options seem to be recycled big names (Bama, OSU, UM, Miami) or top level coordinators (OU, USC, UGA, FSU, MSU, Oregon, Stanford, Clemson) mostly with ties to the school that hired them.
The only top level jobs I can think of that are currently filled by a coach that jumped from a P5 is PSU and the weird Nebraska situation. Obviously Miles fit in that category too but it seems a fairly rare thing actually and suggests "P5 training" in entirely unnecessary.
And particularly for a guy like Morris, who has already been a top level coordinator and a G5 coach (the two most common types of hires), I think it does little to nothing to enhance his resume.

Agreed, but I see Baylor as an insurance policy. Sure, the SMU job is a hard job and achieving 6 wins requires a miracle the size of the virgin Mary. But I till want to know if he's the real deal. Let him show us this at Baylor instead of us taking the risk.

Let's look a little deeper at this.
UF - McElwain was the Colorado State head coach, but before that was Nick Saban's OC at Alabama
ND - Brian Kelly's previous head coaching job was at Cincinnati. At the time he left, the Big East was still a BCS Conference. Also, ND is his THIRD head coaching job, after Central Michigan and Cincinnati.
t.u. - At the time Charlie Strong left Louisville, the Big East/AAC was still a BCS Conference and now Louisville is ACC. Strong was the defensive coordinator at UF prior to Louisville.
Tennessee - Butch Jones followed Brian Kelly everywhere except for post-Cincinati, just as Brian Kelly followed Mark Dantonio.
Chris Petersen - This one fits your statement.
Virginia Tech - Also fits your statement.
Auburn - Really? Gus Malzahn was the architect of the Wildcat formation and offense coordinator at both Arkansas and Auburn's national title team. He was always the heir apparent to Chizik.
Texas A&M - Kevin Sumlin fits your statement
