JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Chad Morris and Chip Kelly aren't the same. Chip was an analyst under Malzahn who barely had his feet wet as a Power 5 OC. On top of that you had Jay Jacobs pressuring Gus to let his OCs run the show. (My interpretations at least) Morris (like Hugh Freeze this time last year) is an experienced and successful coordinator and as others have mentioned, I don't believe he'd take a yes-man job... Certainly not when he has equally prestigious options. Getting Morris would be a great hire. Certainly one step closer to solving the Offensive issues.

This would be his best opportunity unless he wants to coach at Memphis and still that would be questionable Where did I say HC? I said job. OC. One where he really is the OC. He will have plenty of options. Memphis HC is one hell of a better job then being AU’s OC also. Just so you know. Hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Gus would have done that, sure. But we're talking Gus v7.11 here and he's gonna find a completely new way of doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I'm one if the "Malzahn 5🤣" that think Gus needs to be both HC & de facto OC. Did you really just say that a Burns promotion to OC is equivalent to a Chad Morris hire? Is there a Burns out there that you're referencing other than Kodi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Morris gets hired, I think it's safe to bet that they worked a deal where FSU took Dilly. He probably also wanted to work under Norvell again.

AUGunsmith 666 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Dilly was a figurehead OC with norvell in Memphis. He moved just to be back with a guy who he has had a long working relationship with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnphan 6,050 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Morris is by far the best we can do. Gus has a small coaching circle to choose from and only once has he reached outside it offensively and that was Porter. Being the OC pays nice but it really is not a coveted job opportunity.

Especially under a HC that will be micromanaging and just took back play calling duties only 1 year previous. Also every OC under Gus has moved onto to the same position, but to a lesser school. Its not like OCs are coming into Auburn and then leaving for HC jobs. Everyone knows this is Gus' offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So getting back to Matt Luke .... is this the part where we say hire someone to coach the Qb and let Gus call the plays? I do agree that Chad may be too many cooks in the kitchen and end up getting them both canned if Auburn had another 2018 with 2 offensive gurus on board.

His QB work and recruiting would also be an upgrade too. I am thinking this too since Chad is a proven OC, and has had HC experience , albeit failed at it.

Barnacle 9,064 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 In addition to everything already mentioned, I think Bo Nix makes this move even more appealing for Morris. Young, talented QB with a lot of room yet to grow and a high ceiling, in addition to all the other talent on our roster means Morris will offense he can score points with immediately.

Dilly was leaving way before Norvell got the FSU job. Gus didn’t do the things that he told Dilly he was going to do. So Dilly found another job. Money is the driving force for almost all decisions FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
