In his time as the USD tight ends coach, Morrison coached the likes of First Team (AP) All-American in JJ Galbreath (2024) in both of his seasons. Galbreath combined for over 1,000 yards and nine touchdown receptions in his two seasons with Morrison as his coach.

His final five seasons with the Lakers (2013-17), he served as the Offensive Coordinator and, in those seasons, made three trips to the NCAA Division II Playoffs.

In 2002, Morrison returned to his alma mater at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa as the offensive line and tight ends coach for seven seasons. In his final two seasons at the now American Rivers Conference power, he served as the Offensive Coordinator where he helped lead the Knights to the 2008 A-R-C title and earn a berth to the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
 
Morrison began his coaching career at Allegheny College (Pa.) in 1999, serving as the program's special teams coordinator and linebackers' coach.
