I think Morris will surprise some folks.I don't blame the AAC coaches for jumping ship. What are those schools going to be able to pay them? OSU struck gold with Morris. He is going to bring some talent with him which they need. The problem is he is no longer coaching in the AAC. I probably see him though long term as a .500 coach. He is getting paid though!
Too many teams trying to find that shiny object in a coach with few willing accept not every team is going undefeated every year. I don't think many schools actually improved their team by a coaching change.
Va Tech - Massive upgrade
Ole Miss - Upgrade because the Lane Train has left
Auburn - Upgrade by getting rid of Hugh Freeze! I do think Golesh will do ok.
LSU - Even - about the same coaching ability, but equally terrible people
Most others are going to be toss ups. As a MSU supporter I am not thrilled with Fitzgerald. I think he is a good coach, but with the hazing scandal at NU along with MSU's messes I think they needed someone much more vanilla.
