I took it that since Yurachek was in attendance that your assessment was Chadillac needed to shite can a coach to. satisfy the AD.


Again, doubt Yurachek would force the issue after year 1

Composite and average star ranking are two completely different things. The average star ranking from the composite rankings is the best way to actually look at these things.


Meh, this narrative of "best way to look at these things" didn't come to being until after a post NSD push to crack the 50 earlier this year by Chad and Staff.

Now this year, Rival's rankings are the best way to looking at these things.

If you actually use what was "the best way to look at these things" via the 247 composite rankings which was the standard since the came to being you see a different narrative from what is popular across the sites and media currently...

I think Hunter went to Chad's press conference as a disciplinary action for being 2-8. We'll see if he's there tomorrow, but that will be Chad's final press conference of the year other than the Mizzou post game.

Some heads gotta roll with the amount of money we spent to clean house.

You want to attack intellects but then pass judgement on a football coach in year 1. Interesting take.

Holy hell.....

True or false --- 3-9 was a bad sign for Bielema?

TRUE

True or false --- 2-10 is a bad sign for Morris?

TRUE

The same people who put all their faith into Morris' recruiting are the same one's who fail to acknowledge that we had enough talent (by recruiting rankings) to not be 2-10 this season.

Just like we had more than enough talent to not be 3-9 in 2013.... Bert = Aggie Bert

If you say that recruiting rankings don't matter then what does Morris have --- beyond some hokey catch phrases?

Probably not, but Yurachek is having Chad as being his guy pin to his back out of the gate when Chad wasn't the guy he chose to hire to Arkansas for the job.

He's replacing two ADs who lost their jobs from having unpopular football HCs associated as being one and the same as them, so it doesn't surprise me to see him create distance between himself and chad whenever possible.

You mean the one he had about 1/4 of the time other coaches did to put together? Do you Morris haters just completely throw logic and reasoning out the window to come up with some of these points?

The rest of that is the same benign ranting every other fan that thinks changing the culture of a football team is as easy as turning a basketball team around and expects things to flip like a light switch when the new coach steps on the campus has been barking all year. This is a talentless team with a lot of quit in them. Pinning all of that on Morris is your prerogative.

CSU lost by 5 points to a ranked team yesterday btw.

wow..... now we are pounding our chest about getting beat by a team who only got beat by an over ranked utah state team.

Colorado State also got beat by a 6-5 FCS ball club.

Beyond that, I don't know how you can call the players out in the media for not buying in when you live in NWA while your family remains in the DFW metroplex.

You lead by example, Chad isn't showing his team he has fully bought into Arkansas by his actions thus far.

Life after Frank hasn't been kind to the football program. On the other hand DVH is still rocking over at Baum.

They can play up, that's the point worth making. Obviously we should have beaten them, and no one has disputed that. You throwing a fit over it still just seems weird.

Let me ask you this, if we hired a coach and in his first four seasons he went 25-23 and never finished better than 5th in the conference and lost every bowl he reached, what would you think about the future with that coach? Do you fire him because he's been nothing but .500?

So when Bert was falling asleep during film sessions, how do you think that example inspired his team?

How many players do you see exhibiting that same "frick It" mentality out on the field this year?
No doubt it carried into the off-season, and we're seeing the fruition of that attitude play out on the field.

Morris may not be the guy who gets us back to relevance... if he's not he'll get canned sooner rather than later because believe it or not the brand still has some semblance of standards.

But it's the irony of watching some who defended Bert and Long for YEARS now all of a sudden acting like they care about losing... it's fricking pathetic.
You know anyone like that?

horseshite. Quit crying and making you and Morris out to be martyrs.

There isn't an anti-Morris group. There are pissed off donors and season ticket holders (see attendance) who realize that we had enough talent to not go 2-10.

Most of us would have been content with 3-9. We beat Colorado State and avoid the blowout to North Texas and most of us aren't bitching. There will always be the unhappy fans - people complained about the few Petrino losses and tore Willy a new one over our defense. This isn't that.

This is a reaction of fans who realize that the future of Razorback football is in dire straights and we hired someone just as bad as Bielema to fix the problem. We seriously hired a coach with a losing record to turned things around. A coach he couldn't realize that we had all the momentum in the world to run a simple GRAVEDIGGER QB draw up the middle to seal the game against Colorado State.

Those what if scenarios are dumb as hell.

Morris isn't the coach you cited and he sure as heck isn't the coach I cited (Leach). Morris' offense is HORRIBLE..... Enos is 100 times better than Morris.

If it's all due to Craddock's play calling then Morris should have taken over and Craddock needs to be fired ASAP.

Oh shut the frick up.

Where were the pissed off donors and season ticket holders when we had JLS... and backed him up with a FatBert - a guy only the bartenders in Wisconsin were sorry to see go.

Guess these 'pissed off donors' you refer to took a few seasons off, and just woke the frick up.

Welcome back, sunshine.

That seemed achievable by pretty much everyone.
Who? The preseason thread is FULL of people whose "optimistic" predictions were 6-6. This team won 4 games last year in an established system and we knew we had no QB or OL coming into the year. I didn't predict 2 wins but I certainly was prepared to miss a bowl this season.

JLS was one season interim ---- dumb example.

Bert got leniency due to his overblown resume at Wisconsin.

3 rose bowls has much better optics than a losing record.... duh.

Many donors jumped off the bandwagon after Toledo despite us turning the season around and finishing with a better record and bowl win.

The Mizzou and Va Tech collapses sealed his fate here.

Morris isn't getting as much cushion due to multiple reasons -

1. His horrible resume

2. People are getting tired of sucking

3 Getting blown out by a G5 ballclub

Morris will get his 3 years but he needs to show improvement in year 2 like every other coach has.

Bowl or bust.

Go back and watch Morris on the sidelines this season.

He is checking the play chart and speaking into the mic while a play in being called in an awful lot for a guy who letting his OC call the plays.

Now when the defensive is on the field, the mic is up and a lot of cheer, sorry Yell leading, and clapping is going on from the sideline.

I'm sure Craddock will be demoted or sent packing after this Friday, but I'm not 100% certain he is responsible for the majority of the blame for the in game play calling this season...

SMU scored 133 TOTAL points the year before Morris when they went 1-11. Even in year 1 when they went 2-10, he still increased their offense by 200 points in year 1. By the time he left they were 7-6 averaging over 35 points a game. There's nothing wrong with his offense.

You also never answered the question. Would you not be on here bitching to fire a coach that couldn't win a bowl game and maxed out at 7-5 in 4 years here?
