Chad Morris has his work cut out for him.  SMU is in some bad shape and add in the lack of fan support, yeah.......long road to rebuilding here.  

 

One thing though, they are in a good recruiting location and with Morris' ties to the State, he "should" be able to bring in some kids.  I would suspect a 4-5 year building process there under Morris.  

 

Of course, this is all dependent on his assistants and how much money SMU will be willing pay for those assistants.  Hopefully the SMU loyals will treat Morris better than some USF fans treat CWT in his rebuilding process and wont call for his head after year 2 with only one true full recruiting season.

 

If two years from now his team is in as much disarray as ours is, it shows he's just as crappy a leader as ours is, and deserves to be fired

Looks like he got a pile of money for staff, didn't have to hire Sun Belt assistants or fired coaches looking for work like USF has for several years. Plus he got a Texas high schoool 5A dynasty HC for a position coach.

Let's just say they'll win more than two games and not set the record for largest margin loss to an FCS team ever.

And they won't be directionless at QB going into his third year.

Morris is a good pickup. He is the guy I was hoping USF was going to hire the last time, followed by Taggart.
