Why are folks high on Chad Morris? Am I reading his HC record correctly? 1-8?
To be fair, it is SMU, which a mess. Their offense, which is his specialty, has improved a good amount from last year with pretty much the same pieces. So its little more forgiving to look that record and realize what he's working with. People also love his work as Clemson's OC.
But I don't get all the love either. I think he could be a good candidate, but not a great one. I think the love just stems from the fact that people are just imagining the best case scenario of his offense and the fact that he stated VT would be a dream job for him a year or so ago. It's a rose colored glasses kind of thing. Realistically, he's the biggest question mark of any candidate due to his lack of collegiate coaching experience, a fact that many keep glossing over.
And I think some of the love is Bud supporters who realize he's not getting job so are throwing support for the candidate that will most likely retain Bud.
