National analyst: Why Chad Morris is a Power Five coaching candidate despite record at SMU

Yahoo! Sports' Pete Thamel came up with a list of Group of Five coaches that could be candidates at a Power Five school by the end of the season.

Unsurprisingly, the American Athletic Conference was well represented on the list. Tulsa's Philip Montgomery topped it while Memphis' Mike Norvell was fourth and Navy's Ken Niumatalolo was sixth. UCF's Scott Frost rounded out the top-10.

At No. 14 was SMU's Chad Morris. Thamel wrote that his record as SMU doesn't look P5-worthy but thinks some of the big boys could still come calling.

"His 7-17 record should disqualify him from the list.
