Our offensive problems this year seemed more to do with game prep than play calling. Maybe Gus was dissatisfied with how Dilly was preparing the offense and encouraged him to follow Norvell??

I think Dilly just saw a chance to rejoin his former HC but at a P5 school.  Norvell may give him a little more responsibility and mentoring too.

Why not?

Looks like we might be getting a really quick turnaround on this one

I have a feeling it was Dilly who approached Gus, and not the other way around.

I'm wondering  if it were more Dilly being loyal to Norvell or Dilly wanting to get away from Gus.

[Squidward2016 51]

Small detail, but would like to see whoever is hired (chad) have the title Passing game coordinator along with OC/QBs/OL etc. Would show Gus is making an emphasis on expanding the passing game

The default assumption should definitely be loyalty to Norvell. If he didn’t follow Norvell to be OC at a P5 school I’d be stunned. Obvious career move that means nothing against Gus/their relationship

Well if we don’t get him, Jeff Scott O coordinator of Clemson got the USF job. He and Morris were co-O-coordinators together.

Big news if Chad Morris does come. Gus would actually be more open to adapting his offense.

One could only hope!

He made a commitment. He's abandoning the team. Good riddance!

Passive aggressive much?

Maybe Chad will be able to make the personnel changes on who plays. Gosh I just want to not know the play call by the personnel.

Think I heard (can't remember where) Chad Morris was looking to snag the UTSA head coaching gig. If he can't get a G5 head coach position, he'd be better off with a P5 coordinator position. G5 coordinating is "damaged goods" territory and Morris' biggest issue at Arkansas was Arkansas and Beilema's abhorrent recruiting and system shock

Chad Morris is the only guy that makes any sense here. And it could very well be what saves Gus's behind here. 

2020 just got very interesting.

Sometimes you have to show how silly it sounds for others to see!

Won't be a done deal until he gets here. Dabo may be loosing one of his OC's, and may talk Morris back to Clempson.

Withdrew his name from consideration.

If Morris is hired it will be the 1st OC hire in Gus' tenure that I haven't had to google.

Both can be true at once.

Morris, Luke - pipe dreams. 

[AidiAU 1,270]

Just curious. How long do you think Gus has known about Dilly and been looking? I assume you give your HC a heads up that there is interest? And then they put out feelers?

We're going from only hiring former Auburn players for the offensive staff to 2 former SEC head coaches!

I think if Morris actually gets hired as OC, then Dilly was probably nudged out.  If not, it should have been known there was a chance he was leaving once Norvell was named HC at FSU.

Exactly my point.  I’m not sure any proven or experienced offensive coaches want to work for Gus.
