I'm guessing no. I am not sure this matters. Getting another offensive minded person who Gus trusts and respects in the planning room has more potential to open up Gus to different and better plays. Likewise, having someone on headset that Gus trusts and respects increases the chances that Gus calls better plays himself. Alternatively, there is possibility is two strong-willed personalities conflict. But I think the risk is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the famous hurry up and run up the middle? Or the this wr can only do this and this wr can only do that mentality? If we can get rid of ANY of those things we'd be moving in the right direction Excellent analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His QB work and recruiting would also be an upgrade too. How much more input are you talking? How can he have more without calling plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who their backup is but I bet they will not have any problems hauling in 5 star QBs with that offense. I heard Burrow called a generational QB today. They compared him (more his success than style) to Danny Wuerffel and Cam Newton, I’m hoping they are right, which would mean next man up cant be as good. Could be wishful thinking on my part.lol. Don’t need LSU to continue this success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t need LSU to continue this success. Burrow has flourished under this offense, he is a great QB and has everything you are looking for.. I just do not think LSU will be going anywhere.. they recruit big time talent and now they have the philosophy to take advantage of it.. I am guessing their qb position will be a plug and play type thing.. which is why I wish we could move on from whatever our offense is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the next guy should ever be compared to Burrow, and probably will not get to that level, however with their receivers and backs, the next guy only needs to be efficient..

autan 737 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 If we land Morris and keep Steele we would have two of the top coordinators in College Football. I'm still not sure Morris will take the job. I think CCM would call the plays but critical plays would be Gus or joint decision of the two. Both involved in game plan with Chad Morris handling QB coaching and development. I think Malzahn would trust Morris more than anyone out there and certainly more than any other Coordinator he has had. I really liked Dilly but I wouldn't feel real good with him calling the plays either. Hope Chad Morris becomes an Auburn man for at least a couple of years.

AURealist 2,185 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (Misposted in another thread) Wasn't Chad Morris' piggie offensive line a game-time and recruiting weakness at Arky? I'd really like to see a top notch line coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe4christ 940 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Look at Kevin Steele.......bad HC, very good DC. Same could be said of Chad Morris.....bad HC, but a very good OC. Remains to be seen. If nothing else, a great recruiter and QB developer. If Gus wants to keep being OC, I am sure CCM would have a lot of input in the offense plus you get the other benefits to go along with it. Sign me up. Let's get it done.

Bad OC. Used to be a good OC. Chad Morris no matter if he calls plays or not gives us a elite QB coach and a really good recruiter. Sign me up as well!

The Plainsman 948 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I could care less if Gus trust Chad or not. But if he didn’t why in the heck would he even hire him? Bottom line is the guys get paid millions to figure it out. Between the two of them, I like the total experience. That is what I would be investing in. Experience.

around4ever 4,139 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Im sorry, I do not see Gus letting anybody ever call plays again. I don’t see Gus letting anybody, even good friend Chad, change his schemes or passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea but will be fun to watch. Get another transfer. Their current backup is probably not their QB for next year but might have a red shirt stashed away somewhere. Easiest thing is to get a grad transfer who wants to step up in class. I'm guessing there are some out there. No need to sweat it out for 3 or 4 years with an incoming freshman if you can get a mature guy with a couple seasons behind him and adapt him to your scheme.
