National analyst thinks SMU's Chad Morris should be next Tennessee head coach

As head coaching jobs start to open around the country, it leads to a lot of speculation about who will be the new man on campus. SMU head coach Chad Morris' name is starting to come up as SMU is 4-2 in his third season in Dallas.

USA Today's Dan Wolken evaluated the openings (and potential openings) at Nebraska, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Arkansas, coming with dream hires, sensible hires and entertainment value hires for each school. For Tennessee, Wolken sees Morris as the most sensible hire.

For Wolken, the big key is replicating what Morris did as offensive coordinator at Clemson.
