Knowing what we do now about Chad's ability to evaluate talent

I think there is a good possibility that many of the players who left, needed to do just that. I think Bielema’s style didn’t lend itself to recruiting the kind of players who give maximum effort at every opportunity. I think Morris probably expects, if not demands this, but probably goes about it in his very own shitty high school way.

I also think it quite possible that very few on the offensive side of the coaching staff have any kind of reference for SEC level talent, including the head coach. Think about it, don’t you think Morris probably believed that Hicks was going to take all that SMU experience and success, and just light up the SEC with Morris’ system?

It’s at least part of the reason Morris is bewildered, and completely at a loss right now. All the tricks, and plays, and offensive scheme (I’m being generous) that brought at least moderate success at SMU, is being shoved up his arse so far he can smell it. And he doesn’t have a clue how to make it stop.

Beliemas style didn’t lend itself to maximum effort?

Fair to say Chets style lends itself to zero effort at all?

Tired of the Bert players excuse, yea he left a bunch of shite but we’re clearly stuck with a ton of worse shite.

He still bested and doubled Chets win total in his worst two years with the West and league in general being much much stronger.

Chet hasn’t managed an SEC win with A&M, Ole Miss, Kentucky, MSU and Mizzou all in complete rebuild/disarray.

Disgustingly sad I even have to say above considering how shitty Bert was holistically.

I can't think of any players that left that would have contributed much or made any impact this year.

Nope, sure didn't. Do you think maximum effort when you look at Bret Bielema? Did you ever see him up someone's arse on the sideline, for not executing, or doing their job?

I don't think Morris has a style. I think everything goes the way he wants it to inside his head, so when it doesn't work that way in reality, against SEC caliber competition, he has no idea what to do about it.

Nance would have used up his eligibility last year if he had stayed though

Make you way to Razorback Stadium this weekend if you want to see the last time that Morris will ineptly try to coach the Razorbacks in Fayetteville.

Tickets at 50 yard line for 15 bucks, someone is gonna overpay.

They're paying $15 for people to sit on the 50? Too low IMO.


Edit -- dammit, PT beat me to it.

Losing 30+ players in one year definitely makes an impact. Especially when Chad's first class had like 14 guys and a bunch of them left too.

Let's not forget the many 2nd half meltdowns under BB tenure.
Yes, some of it was due to coaching but I believe a culture or quitter mentality began to form and has carried over.

I don’t remember a lot of bad second half decisions from the sideline from BB, maybe I’m just forgetting. I do remember having a S&C coach, whose whole approach to every position was bigger is better. Remember when Alex Collins blew up like a balloon, and lost the moves and burst that made him good? Yeah, that was BB and his strength coach. We had every player toting around extra weight, and it showed in the second half of games.
