Dude, Lincoln, NE over Dallas?Morris should have waited IMO. He likely could have had the Nebraska gig. That said, might be what he thought fit best for his family.
i can almost hear "Taps" playing.Michigan: According to Michigan’s Scout site, Brady Hoke will meet with athletic director Jim Hackett on Tuesday, and a decision on his future will be delivered at that time.

No coach in their right mind would take SMU over Nebraska. I don't care if Nebraska might have been on the table for Morris. Clemson OC job > SMU head coach job. Dude messed up.Dude, Lincoln, NE over Dallas?
I've been to Lincoln, and it ain't no Dallas
Well that might be true, however where some of these campuses are located I believe has a part to play.No coach in their right mind would take SMU over Nebraska. I don't care if Nebraska might have been on the table for Morris. Clemson OC job > SMU head coach job. Dude messed up.
Coaching is just another job. I think if we apply the same logic to ourselves when we start considering job offers and the movements they entail, it becomes so much clearer as to why some coaches decide to stay or move on to 'greener pastures'.Well that might be true, however where some of these campuses are located I believe has a part to play.
We talk about it all the time when we hear that so and so doesn't like South Florida, Tuscaloosa, etc....
To ignore where a coach moves his family to continue his career is dumb and probably just as important as it is to one of us, no matter how much WE believe he would be an idiot to take one job over the other.
I can see to some extent where location may play a part, but major college football coaching is not just another job. There are far fewer openings and opportunities for these jobs than there are for an accountant, engineer, police officer, doctor, plumber, mechanic, etc... Cocahes move all the time, especially as they climb the ranks. Sometimes that move takes them to places they're rather not be. They know this is how it is going into it.Coaching is just another job.

His name is being mentioned with Michigan like every time they have a job opening.IM suprised Les Miles name hasn't come up in any talks lately.... That's something to keep eyes on for a while.
lol.Nebraska: Per source, former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain are in the mix at Nebraska.
Almost?i can almost hear "Taps" playing.
Schiano stunk it up in the NFL, but he was a pretty darned good college coach. CNS and Spurrier didn't exactly set the world on fire in the NFL, either. Sometimes you just need to find where you fit.lol.
If you take out his best season (2006), most of us wouldn't even know who he is. He did bring Rutgers back up from the depths, but even including that best season, he's basically a .500 coach with no conference championships.Schiano stunk it up in the NFL, but he was a pretty darned good college coach.

Not to mention his only good year at Rutgers came with Ray Rice at RB. I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.If you take out his best season (2006), most of us wouldn't even know who he is.

Is he horrible? no. Should he get the Nebraska job? Not based on that record. He's basically Turner Gill with more years of experience - he did a good job by being average at a below average program but he's given no indications of being ready to take a major program who expects championships.
