Those are the fun ones to just sit back and watch them jump off that ledge.

June Jones said SMU was the worst place to recruit to. You had to have choir boys with 4.0’s to get them admitted.

Apparently there are more of those boys than the #Uncommon ones Bert wanted.

Go through some of their posting history and you'll find them begging for tickets or complaining how they don't go to games because "Long priced out the common fan."

I think We punt a bit on the next hire. Probably take a look at a Chad Morris + Jeff Traylor combo from SMU. Try to change culture and pipeline Texas again.

(Not replying to you Pio)

It's a good hire.

No choice but to get on board with it.

frick off with the Pelphrey nonsense. Appears he is the top guy minus Gus, if that was even reality.

I trust that the AD came in and gave it the go ahead and means Morris did something to set himself apart from some other good candidates.

This does not strike me as a "settle" hire, this strikes me as a "get" regardless of how you feel about him.

It's a sweet offense and SMU is a brutal place to try and build.

I find it incredibly hard to believe this in a day and age when very powerful people lose their jobs over mere accusations of sexual improprieties. Especially when you consider that he was given an extension by his current employer.

Re Chad Morris, I had perception of him from his time at Clemson. Then, went & spent a day with him at SMU. He is real. I came away very impressed. Presuming Arkansas closes the deal (which I expect), #Hogs getting a very good one.

quote:

Chad Morris recruited Deshaun Watson to run his power spread scheme at Clemson. They still talk. Watson praises Morris as O guru. "He had huge impact on my life. He's like a father figure to me, and a coach. He's a special guy," Watson said before national title game in Jan.

It's not a bad hire, but we could have gotten better tasting koolaid and that's why people aren't jumping up and down. I don't think the sky is falling, there were just better options realistically available.


Such as? Do tell.

Please educate me on why mr. Aggy is so superior.
Did you see the end of the UCF game? Norvell shite the bed and gave up a delay of game penalty on the game winning kick attempt, then sat on the ball instead of throwing a hail mary at the end of the 4th. I would prefer to rehire Bert than get Norvell.

Don't know what to tell you. Those accusations have evidently been known for quite some time. And to be clear, this is concerning older underage girls & some younger college coeds, not 'little girls' in jr. high. ... This day & age it is commonly overlooked & brushed under the rug, maybe with a warning given, when it involves someone in a position of power and/or authority rather than some regular Joe Schmo. The powers that be at UofA were/are well aware of these allegations & took them seriously enough, along with his gambling & drinking, not to give him a pass during vetting. Evidently, all involved decided it was a serious enough issue not to take a chance on any unnecessary bullshite, which we've already endured recently.

Arkansas and Chad Morris agree to a deal, and the Hogs plan to annnounce him as head coach later Wednesday, sources tell ESPN.
