Auburn parts ways with DC Ellis Johnson
According to AuburnSports.com, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn informed Johnson of the decision on Sunday.
"At this time I felt it was best for our program to make a change with our defensive coordinator," Malzahn said in a statement. "Ellis is a true professional and I would like to thank him for his contributions at Auburn."
The Tigers' defense gave up 55 points to Alabama on Saturday night in a 55-44 Iron Bowl loss. It was the fifth straight SEC game that Auburn had given up more than 30 points to an opponent.
Auburn, 8-4, ranks No. 57 in total defense, giving up 389 yards per game and 5.60 yards per play. The yardage numbers are actually improvements from last season, as Auburn's defense gave up six yards a play and over 420 yards a game in 2013. However, the Auburn offense wasn't as electric as it was in 2013 when the Tigers made it to the BCS Championship Game.
"This is part of the business and I totally understand," Johnson said in the same statement. "I did think we were good in several areas, but overall it wasn't good enough. I’m disappointed for our players, but this is a results business. I want to thank Coach Malzahn and Auburn for the opportunity the last two years."
Johnson was hired by Malzahn when the former Auburn offensive coordinator took over as head coach of the Tigers before the 2013 season. Before joining Auburn, Johnson served as the head coach at Southern Miss for a season after Larry Fedora went to North Carolina.
Auburn is the second SEC team to fire its defensive coordinator (while keeping its head coach) and the school will be mentioned along with Texas A&M as a possible destination for former Florida coach Will Muschamp if Muschamp wants to be a coordinator in 2015. Before becoming Florida's coach and Texas' defensive coordinator before Florida, Muschamp served as defensive coordinator for Auburn in 2006 and 2007.

Source: SMU set to hire Clemson OC Morris
Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris will be introduced as SMU's coach in a Monday news conference, a source told ESPN.com. From ESPN.com - College Football - Source: SMU set to hire Clemson OC Morris
SMU to introduce new head coach on Monday
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.

UAB reportedly set to shut down football program
Per USA Today, the school "has given indications the program will shut down this week and that (athletic director Brian) Mackin is working on a separation agreement from the university."
SI.com also reported that Mackin is parting ways with the school and that an announcement would be made about the (lack of a) future of the football program on Thursday. Coach Bill Clark told ESPN that he feared the program would be shut down.
"I think it's going to happen," Clark said. "Unless something changes before the weekend ends, I think it's over. I think the odds are very high it ends this week. To shut the doors? That's sad."
On Saturday, UAB beat Southern Mississippi 45-24 to be 6-6 and eligible for a bowl for the first time since 2008. Clark was hired before the 2014 season and had signed a three-year deal.
There were indications that a possible shutdown has been in the works for a while. Some boosters, including Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White, wrote in a letter earlier in November that trustees were looking at the possibility of shuttering the program.
The school, which is part of the University of Alabama system, plays football at Legion Field in Birmingham.
The last FBS-level program to drop football was Pacific in 1995. UAB started as a Division III football team in 1991 and moved up FBS in 1996. It joined Conference USA in 1999. Without a football program, the school's standing in Conference USA in other sports is tenuous.

Troy announces Neal Brown as its next head coach
The school announced Brown's hire on Sunday and will host a Monday press conference to introduce him.
When Brown was asked after Kentucky's season-ending 44-40 loss to Louisville on Saturday, he said it wasn't his place to speak about the news. Well, because he knew it'd be official a day later.
Brown, 34, has been an offensive coordinator at 2008 and has served as an assistant previously at Troy. He was the Trojans' OC from 2009-2009 before spending three years at Texas Tech with Tommy Tuberville and two years at Kentucky.
"I am very happy for Neal to earn a head coaching job and believe Troy has made an outstanding hire," Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said in a statement. "Congratulations to Neal and his family and I appreciate his hard work at Kentucky."
Since winning the Sun Belt in 2010 and going 8-5, Troy hasn't had a winning record. After finishing 6-6 in 2013, the Trojans were 3-9 this season and ended the year with a 42-23 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette.
Larry Blakeney, Troy's coach for the previous 24 seasons as the school moved from Division II to eventually the FBS level, announced in October that he was retiring at the end of the season.
