Besides Chad doing a first at Arkansas, losing 10 games in a single season, he was also able to tie the least amount of wins mark for a single season at 2 wins.
So the rallying cry was "look at..." early in the season when Arkansas was losing to the might rams of the state of Colorado and being blown out by the green meanies of North Texas State, so I was curious to reexamine the "look at..."narrative.
Scott Frost: The hottest name in the coaching changes of last season, as he got off to the worst start in Nebraska history, it was "look at Scott, things could be worst", well at the time maybe, but his team was able to improve as the season went along to a 4-8 mark with 3 wins in the B1G.
Mister Asparagus up on ole rocky top was able to finish 5-7 overall and 2-6 in the SEC.
While Willie Taggart led FSu to their first season without a bowl* since Bobby Bowden's second season at 5-7, he still managed to win 3 games in conference.
Side note, Lane Kiffin led the mighty Owls to a 5-7 mark this year, probably should have snagged a better job last off season.
Did you know that every SEC team in won at least 1 game in conference except Chad and Arkansas?
Were you aware that only three P5 schools went winless in conference this Season? Arkansas, Rutgers, and Louisville.
Did you know that a 1-8, 3-9 record is unacceptable at Kansas? A 0-8, 2-10 record is unacceptable at Rutgers and Louisville? Yet 2-10, 0-8 is more than acceptable for Arkansas now.
Chad will be the only HC returning to a team that not only gave up, lost more games than the should, but most importantly showed very little effort throughout the season. Its one thing to not have the talent to compete at a high level, circumstances are beyond a new head coach's control in that area. Effort or more importantly playing players who show effort on the field is something completely in control of a head coach no matter how long they have been with the program, that is something we did not see out of a long list of players for the entire season, their effort was non-existent yet their snaps remained.
Pulley and Curl would not have been suspended had Chad not been called out and questioned about where his staff was while this took place, both were thrown under the bus to take accountability away from his staff, Mizzou proceeded to throw the ball over their replacements on the field.
Chad's seat should be on fire going into year 2, anything less than a bowl game with a schedule that includes:
Colorado State
San Jose State
Portland State
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
Kentucky
Western Kentucky
Mizzou
Bowl game or Chad is yet another "Texas High School Legend" bust on the collegiate level.

None of those coaches were in their first year.
Still amazes me how people are wishing we had hired guys like Mike Leach while ignoring that he was a disaster 2 of his first 3 years at Washington State. Morris has made some mistakes but would people really rather have 4 wins instead of 2 wins this year and not have as good of a recruiting class coming in? What difference does it make if we wouldn’t have gone to a bowl this year regardless.

Yeah Dales post has a lot of good points, but most of them dont make sense or relate to his argument.

If Chad doesn't make a bowl next year and loses the team again he needs to be fired. They're risking an entire generation losing interest in Arkansas football.

Ok. Mike gets 9 years to do something worth a shite in a sport that takes one recruiting class to fix, but Morris is "on fire" in year 2 in a sport that takes longer to turn around.

Chad will get three years and be fired for never making a bowl. We just have to wait it out because our dipshit administration doesn't know how to negotiate and got into another terrible contract. Even if we wait until year 3, we'll still have to pay him about $7 million to not coach here. Good thing we got that SEC money!

Reading comprehension. Was the eyeroll not enough to blatantly show that was tongue-in-cheek?

Mike has had his program behind only Kentucky in wins in the SEC, SEC-T finals appearances, and in post season play 4 of the last 5 years. He has the basketball program at a higher level than it was the decade prior to his arrival.
Even Calipari while at Kentucky has not been able to make the NCAAs every season while at Kentucky.
He is also the only HC of a major program at Arkansas to not have a losing season on his resume while HC at Arkansas.
None of this has anything to do besides deflecting that not only could Chad not beat all the G5 schools on his schedule while at Arkansas, he has yet to beat a P5 school in his entire head-coaching career, he at the very minimum could not put 11 guys on the field that gave effort through out the game. Effort takes 0 talent, it is entirely dictated by coaching, if a player isn't putting out effort then he shouldn't be on the field, Chad easily could have put out 11 guys on the field at any given time that did put out effort and still finish with the same record.
This team was the first team in any men's sport that you can say gave up and didn't try to compete play after play. Stan Heath's first team was absolute garbage, but they at least represented the university well by giving a 100% effort during their terrible seasons. Pel, Ford, Crowe, Bert, Nutt, all had horrible teams, their effort in games was never questioned or called out for lacking.
Chad Morris is the worst head coach ever to have a job at the University in any sport.

Wowzer!
Guess a guy who crashes his harley with his blonde assistant on it is good in your books.
No wonder no one can reason with you. You are just ignorant.

ive enjoyed how MA has constantly triggered a good number on the board for a few years now. thats been worth a shite to me.
either you see the consistency hes brought to the program or you dont. i agree, he should have gotten over the hump by now, we've had some teams that probably should have been able to make a decent March run, and yes he is stubborn and his system or style of coaching can leave alot to be desired sometimes, but he's kept the program out of the gutter, which you cant say about the past 2 football coaches and previous 2 bball coaches.
is that a low bar? maybe. but seeing how the new regime handled the football search, im fine with Mike having a couple more years to get there.

You think DVH isn't a good coach and bash him every chance you get. Anything you say isn't going to be taken seriously.

What has DVH won while here?
