Pelini gone at Nebraska; Morris heading to SMU

[FirefightnRick]

Chad Morris is what I think Dodge would have been had he taken the proper path (incredible HS coaching resume -> QB's coach -> OC -> HC).

If Chad Morris comes back to Texas as a HC, he's going to do VERY WELL. He's going to have tons of HS contacts due to his brief time @ Lake Travis.

He was also president of the at THSCA. He recieved 250 texts from his fellow Texas High School coaches on his first day.

It's still SMUt. There is a reason they've had like 7 coaches in 20 years. The campus culture, the admissions requirements, and the fickle fanbase all play a part in tough recruiting and losing.

Tell me why we couldn't pony up (narf) $750k a year to get Pelini?

To be our DC? To make more than our head coach? Pelini is about to make 7 figures at a P5 giant somewhere as a coordinator or as a head coach at another school somehwere...

Was thinking as a HC. Would he be guaranteed more than that as a coordinator at Oklahoma or Washington State or whatever? I doubt he jumps straight back into head coaching unless it's a G5 school ala Petrino/Solich.

Michigan fires Brady Hoke after four seasons

Probably not, but then you have to pay a lump sum to get rid of McCarney as I highly doubt he goes and gets another job.

[FirefightnRick]

I thought Pelini was a much better hire than the previous HC Callahan. .

They should have never gotten rid of Frank Solich.

That was their huge mistake. He is a very good coach.

He is indeed, and he owns our ass.

I'd be quite enraged if a FCS school was able to pull this kind of sh-t off but we get stuck with cheap retreads

EDIT: Pelini denying it.

Bo Pelini is a trainwreck--buyer beware. He did fine at Nebraska, but I don't see him doing anything else at a school without tons of tradition.

Nevereverever buy into what a coach says in the offseason. It's all PC coach-speak, no matter what the topic.
