We could do a whole lot worse than Charlie Strong. And probably will.

Anyone that is upset with Chad Morris being hired is a moron.
Dude took a 1-11 SMU program and in his 3rd year has them poised to win 8 games. But there are people that don't want him just because the Tuohy's like him? Get out of here.
That being said, if we have a choice between Strong and Morris and we don't take Strong, I wouldn't be happy.

From what I have read they don’t want him because he is connected to the Taco’s, overall losing record as a head coach, and abysmal defense.

Strong would be a home run hire given our circumstances
Agreed. This is who I want personally. But I still don't think he'd take the job. One, he might get a better offer with how many big program openings there are, and two, would he want to leave USF for us? I mean he's got it made there; recruiting location is great, easier competition, and he gets to live in Tampa. I just don't see it happening, but who knows, stranger things have happened.

he has an overall losing record as a HC because he took over for an 1-11 SMU team. He has them bowling in year 3. Its all about looking at the trend. The Tuohy stuff doesnt scare me off. Get him a good DC and id be ok with it. Id be happy with McGriff staying on

I’m not on that train. Just trying to make sense of the other crap on twitter and RG. They think it’s more of the good ol boy network if he’s hired and Taco jr. will be on staff and all that yada yada

if we get a 2 year bowl ban, might as well give Luke a 3 year deal. it will be that long before we can hire A decent coach again.
Maybe by then Luke will be ready. A couple of new C/Os wouldnt hurt. If he had won the Cal, Arky and aTm games Everyone would be on board with hiring him for sure.
No need to hire someone else that isn't ready to run a program.

Morris would be a good hire. Up tempo offense, great recruiter (recruited Watson at Clemson), and kids like him.

I know there is only Luke hate everywhere. But this is how I feel.
Also without Luke we may lose more players.
That being said IF they don’t add more years of bowl ban then we need to go out and grab someone.

I'll explain why people don't like it. Nearly 5 months of a search and the best candidates are a guy who has been average to below average in a horrible conference and another guy who was on the hot seat at NCST. Come on man. If Morris is getting the job, why the hell did we pay for a search committee and what the hell is Bjork being paid for just to make a good ol boy hire that Touhy would have made anyway?
A guy going 7-5 in a terrible conference doesn't scream perfect candidate for a SEC gig.
As far as his recruiting, did he recruit Watson or DID Clemson recruit Watson.
Bama, UGA, and Auburn are the three top teams in the conference. So why the hell are we going after offense if defense is what wins in this conference?

There are better candidates than Morris with known interest in the job. Morris would be an extremely underwhelming hire to me.
Posted on 11/26/17 at 8:18 am to Doresrules
He also finishes middle of the pack in a terrible conference in recruiting and has yet to field a defense.

I'll just continue to hold out hope that these names are smoke screens just to keep heat off the real names lol

I wish this were true, but it's been my impression our punishment had already been decided. Now I suppose they can always change something, but not sure if that would be standard operating procedure. Then again, little has been standard about this whole process.
