It also includes one of the most successful four-year runs in Clemson Tigers football history with four Top 25 finishes, two BCS bowl appearances, and a BCS bowl win over Ohio State.
Morris developed the Tigers into a very fun offense to watch, and this past year, despite injuries and being stuck with Cole Stoudt under center, he made it work in helping the Tigers get to 10-3 on the season.
And he even made Stoudt look like Peyton Manning against Oklahoma. So Morris is a proven coordinator, and as a result, he has earned the right to be a head coach.
SMU got a steal with this guy. Dabo Swinney is proving to be a major success as a head coach, and Morris is a big reason for that. It’s about time he got handed the keys to a program.
