Former Auburn football offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Chad Morris has left his Texas high school head coaching job after just one season. Morris became Allen High School’s HC in 2021 and had its least successful season in years, leading to his ouster.
Allen lost at home and dropped three games overall, undoing a tradition of excellence the Metroplex area program had built over generations.
Needless to say, the former Gus Malzahn appointed Auburn football support staff member and Arkansas head coach (once upon a time) got a lashing on Twitter from the various fanbases that received him in small doses, which is of course the only kind Morris ever gave as someone whose longest college football tenure was three years in Clemson.
Tiger fans (as well as ‘Woo Pig’ purists) had plenty to say about it:

I honestly dislike Chad, no angry fan bias, I just think he’s a car salesman masquerading as a coach. I don’t think he’s left any place better than he found it, the only good thing he has ever done is leave!

His college coaching career shows that coaches get too much credit for having great players on the offenses he has coached

Chad Morris went 11-3 which was the most losses since 2005-06 at Allen

He also ended an 84 game winning streak in the regular season for Allen and a 122 game home winning streak in their $60M stadium
He is the worst football coach of the last decade and it isn't close. https://t.co/e4Y7T26oAv
What was Chad Morris’ Auburn football legacy?
Chad Morris was brought on in 2020 by Gus Malzahn to replace Kenny Dillingham, and boy did he fail to live up to just about any bar set for him.
Bo Nix’s regression his sophomore season is starting to not look so much like a simple sophomore slump, but rather the product of an inept coach flailing in his role before going on to do smaller and worse things at the high school level.
