The Auburn Tigers announced they are bringing former SMU and Arkansas head coach Chad Morris in as their new offensive coordinator.
Morris is a high profile coach that brings familiarity to the Auburn Tigers.
Gus Malzahn and Morris have never actually coached together in previous stops, but after meeting several years ago during their time of coaching in high school, the two quickly formed a friendship that runs deep.
Morris coached at Eustace, Elysian Fields, Bay City, Stephenville and Austin Lake Travis, where he won two state championships
Malzahn got his opportunity to work with one of his best friends, and he jumped on it, making the official announcement yesterday.
With early signing day quickly approaching and with his son Chandler Morris, who is a standout quarterback at Highland Park, yet to commit, the prospect of Chandler Morris attending Auburn becomes intriguing.
Previously committed to Arkansas, where his dad was just let go as head coach, Chandler has Auburn listed as one of his top five destinations.
