Reckon there’s any truth to this? Makes sense. Craddock can’t do it IMO.
Get with your sauces and lemme know.

Do we know with 100% certainty that Morris doesn’t call the plays? I keep hearing this but I have a hard time believing he just sits back and gives Craddock the keys for an entire game.

Fair. It's simply message board fodder on a pay site right now.

morris does seem to indicate he has control and ultimate decision making authority atleast when it came to depth chart. I cant imagine the play calling is any different.

I'm not convinced that it would make any difference.
Morris coached at SMU from 2015-2017. Within AAC conference play, SMU had only one win against an opponent that finished with a winning record during that time frame. And that one win was against Houston (@SMU) in 2016.
I never understood the hype.

HE WON 7 GAMES WITH 4 PLAYERS WHO MADE NFL ROSTERS. IN THE FREAKING AAC.
THERE WAS NO HYPE

Yikes.
I was looking at the 7-5 season last night, they had a couple squeakers against some really bad teams. And that one decent year is the reason we hired him to run an SEC program.

Well that and the fact he is recruiting as well as any coach we’ve ever had in a state that is crucial for our program.
But don’t let that affect your narrative.

If Craddock has been the one in complete control of playcalling last year and Saturday then I really hope this is true and Morris takes over.

Watch any Clemson or SMU game when Morris was calling plays and compare it to any SMU or Arkansas game when Craddock was calling plays. You don’t have to be a coach to clearly see that Morris is on a different level when it comes to play calling than Craddock.

His first class was last in the division.
Second class was next to last.
Current class is last.
What an incredible recruiter!

He isn't going anywhere for a year or two at minimum. Might as well wait and see what happens.

Yep. That and his time as OC at Clemson.

I agree. And if we are correct, he needs to make that happen at Arkansas. Immediately. Craddock is definitely not the answer. But former coordinators who are successful don't always make successful head coaches.

Truth.
Chad hasn't looked impressive, but he did have to turn the roster over. Berts guys were a cancer of losers. I honestly don't think Chad can do it, but he will get his time. Might as well see what he can do with the Texas recruiting. The university isn't going to start shite canning coaches after 2 years. It is suicide for the most part.

Most of our starting defense are Bert guys.

I agree. I just hope we can see some significant and consistent improvement this year. That would give me a glimmer of hope. If he needs to completely take over the play calling, then he should do it.

Our "best recruiter in Hog history" has the class 70% full with a whopping four 4* recruits - one of them being his son. We're #24 on 24/7 right now, which is roughly where we typically end.
The fact that he's done nothing but suck in the capacity of head coach isn't a narrative - it's just what it is. If calling the plays all by himself at Ole Miss helps us start 2-0 and land his first ever victory against a P5 opponent, it will be the first step in the right direction we've seen on the field. I'll maybe start giving him a little credit at that point.

You know who else got their HC gigs because of great showings as coordinators? Derek Dooley. Will Muschamp. Lane Kiffin. Kliff Kingsbury. Literally every single failed HC to have ever coached at the collegiate level got their shot by merit of doing a good job at the coordinator level. It's required.
It's not to say he absolutely can't or won't succeed here. But what he did as OC at Clemson has no bearing on how or what he's doing now. He's a pretty good recruiter. He's not mythic-level good. I'm just sick of all of his accolades being overblown while his shortcomings as our HC are glossed over. He has a lot to prove and he's just not doing it so far.

He beat North Texas and Arkansas State, who both had winning records, in 2017.
