If those are his credentials before 2009, what happened after that? Looks like he fell off the wagon. I think there is more to the story than meets the eye. Why was he willing to come to Yale, be demoted and take a substantial pay cut. A guy with his credentials could surely land another D1 head coaching or OC gig at a more prominent football school and for a lot more dinaros. Or maybe he couldnt?

He helped UMass go 43-19, win two conference titles, reach a pair (2006, 2007) of NCAA Tournaments and play in the 2006 national championship contest.<br /><br />Morris went to UMass from Northeastern University, where he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for four seasons (2000 to 2003). Morris directed one of the most explosive offensive attacks in the Atlantic 10 Conference, breaking 24 school offensive records in four years. During the 2003 season, the Huskies led the A-10 in total offense (431.8), while ranking second in scoring offense (34.5).<br /><br />I think he knows what he is doing. Not sure why the O has been stagnant the last 3 weeks but stats don't lie.

How did Morris end up here? He went from HC at UMASS to OC at Yale? What the heck happened there, no other offers? Why else would you take such a pay cut and demotion? Do you think he is motivated to work here under those circumstances? I don't think so and the proof is in the pudding! I actually like Reno and he should wake up to the reality before he gets dragged down with his employee and the employee ends up the next Bulldogs head coach.

Obviously once you have made the decision one way or the other it is up to the coaching staff to develop that player so that he is capable of executing what they are trying to do. Failing this, they need to realize players limitations and adopt a playbook that is suitable to his skill set and those around him that interact with him. That should not be so difficult but in my opinion it's not being done. Don't know why, but it is definitely not being done. This is why the offense looks so dysfunctional and disorganized. The other issue is the hurry up or as some call it "rush to quantity over quality" offense. You have to be pretty precise at all positions and your spacing, timing and mechanics have to be pretty near flawless or it will be messy, very , very, messy. Someone pointed out the 6 QB TDs on very few rushing attempts and the two fake field goals as major contributors to the offensive total. You can add to that Cornell's stupidity in not defending the bubble screen which accounted for another four TDs that game (have not been able to do it since). That is a total of 12 TDs by way of trickery or stupidity. That about sums up our offensive scoring output for the season. I think we had all the pieces to be prolific on offense. Why did this not materialize? And don't say injuries as I will tell you that the injuries were the likely result of doing things ass backwards, both this season and last. In my opinion the blame lies squarely on one individual and it is not Reno! If you blamed Reno for anything it would be for hiring this guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33599217.post-68763039469887936912013-10-31T19:37:24.288-04:002013-10-31T19:37:24.288-04:006:28, it's not complicated.
