The 10th assistant coach position kicks in for the 2018 season. We had been expected to add someone who might focus on special teams before BB was sacked. It will be interesting to see how Morris, or whoever, breaks down staff responsibilities with the extra coaching spot.
I would expect Morris to bring at least some of his SMU staff with him, and he might reach out to some people he worked with at Clemson. I predict Lunney will stay because of his ties with the in-state coaches and recruits. As for Tim, I think he’s going to stay with Gus until he gets a promotion to go somewhere else, or until the Auburn expectations monster devours the entire staff. Which was one week from happening in October. I could see Smith staying given the success we’ve had recruiting Louisiana.
