Morris denied that he had finalized an agreement with SMU following Clemson’s win over South Carolina, but TigerIllustrated.com and the Dallas Morning-News reported Sunday morning that Morris will be introduced by SMU on Monday.
“I have not agreed to anything with SMU,” Morris said Saturday. “When the time comes, we’ll come out and say what needs to be said.”
According to the Dallas Morning-News, Morris’ contract with SMU is worth “about $2 million per year.”
The 45-year-old Morris is a Texas native who was a head coach at high schools in the state from 1994-2009. After a one-year stint as offensive coordinator at Tulsa in 2010, Morris was hired by Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney to be his offensive coordinator in 2011.
Morris’ reported hire comes less than three months after June Jones resigned two games into his seventh season with the program. With interim coach Tom Mason at the helm, SMU is 0-11 and has one game remaining this season at UConn on Saturday.
