I also thought Chad Morris would do well at Arkansas.
Not sure how actual Arkansas fans thought it would go. Just my outside perspective, I thought he would do well.
The guy who surprised me was Bert. I really believed he was the perfect fit for Arky, and that he would get their program back to where it was in the Petrino days, but with an emphasis on stout defense and a balanced offense.
It actually looked like he was headed in the right direction after that late season turnaround in 2014 when they shut out LSU and Ole Freezus on consecutive Saturdays, then managed 8 wins the next year.
Sadly, Gustav and 56-3 broke the poor bastard.

I agree, I thought this was going to be a home run hire that would have Ark competing for SEC Championships.

Bert got a little unlucky that year. He lost the second game of the year to a Toledo team that finished 10-2 led by Kareem Hunt. Then the third game we got scorched by Texas tech and an unknown QB named Patric mahomes.
If Bert wins 10 games that year instead of 8 He might still be here. Maybe the drunken downward spiral doesn’t happen.
