He wasn't hired because he was going to make a huge change on the offensive side of the ball seem smooth. Morris and the coaches deserve criticism but you are taking it way overboard.
Our offense is inept compared to what we were under Enos.
There is ZERO hurry up in our game. ZERO.
People like to brag about the Bama game.
We lost 31-65 this season.... IN 2016 we lost 30-49 and Austin Allen threw for 400 yards.
This offense is nothing special.
I'd hope that Chad would realize that we don't have a reliable deep threat or a QB that can get the ball there and scheme around it.
Quit taking deep shots on first down---- especially on your side on your side of the field.
At least don't run two wide receiver passes when the player showed you he couldn't hit a WIDE OPEN Ty Storey on the first one.

You can't run ANY offensive if you can't block.
I'm telling you - it might be nothing to some of you - but the horrible play calling against Colorado State is what cost us the game. It's a bad bad sign.

Huh? I never said he made a huge change. Have you not noticed how we tried to do so many things at the start of the year and had to stop? Remember when we tried to do hurry up? We know Morris isn't the only issue if he was able to do many things at SMU that he hasn't been able to do here. It seems like you are just frustrated at the season which is understandable but you overreacting by taking the majority out on Morris. This is also coming from someone who was highly critical of the coaches for the first few weeks.

That was why we hired Morris..... everyone touted his high school coaching history as evidence of him being able to adapt and make his offense fit.
I disagree. I think we hired Morris because he has great recruiting ties in Texas, an he is considered by many to be a great offensive mind in college football. A Petrino type, that could and would recruit, if you will. Anyone who thought we wouldn’t struggle with this change, just as we did with the change from Petrino to Bielema, is either dumb, or doesn’t understand what is happening.
The fact that our defense sucks arse bothers me much more than our offensive struggles.

takes zero talent to line up right.
It takes zero talent to cover a punt correctly.
It takes zero talent to not run into your own player.
It takes zero talent to make sure you don't have duplicate numbers on the field.
Morris - outside of recruiting - is a doing horrible.
This is my biggest criticism of Chaz. He can't get the guys to fricking line up correctly and avoid moronic procedure penalties all year. That's strictly on him and his staff.
BTW, he's rated, as of last week, as the 166th out of 129 on the coach effect rating by Bartoo, whom, by the way, called the hiring a terrible decision, especially when paired with Chavis.
He can recruit, yes, but if he doesn't do anything with tbe recruits, it's pointless.

They have the hammer down but they are heading in the wrong direction.

I bet you totally agreed with him when he said this as well
“By the measures we have here, and we came up with a new one actually in terms of coaching staff, ranking a staff in terms of efficiency versus its talent. I think you have a really good coach there (in Arkansas),” Bartoo said on the air. “(Bielema’s) coach effect numbers were positive at Wisconsin, I think he’s doing a better job of coaching now than he did with the Badgers."

It doesn't take much to please our fans in year 1.
I didn't expect a bowl game. I expected to at least go 3-9 with a win over Colorado State. I actually would have been ok with 3-9 as long as he made some of the games competitive....especially with how he is recruiting
I actually expected North Texas to be tough b/c they returned a ton of their starters... but to lose to Colorado State---- it just set this team up for failure.

You create such a big straw man. You say people are pleased because they aren't ready to throw all the blame on a coach year 1 with a bad roster.

I said that most of us unhappy fans are not hard to please ------- most of us are understanding. We would have been fine with 3-9.
THUS the comment of "It doesn't take much to please our fans."
shite son.

I remember following the college football matrix stuff and saying right here on this board that I didn't think Chad Morris would be a good hire because his offensive efficiency numbers weren't very good.
But he has gained my support despite a terrible first season.
I eventually realized that he can remain competitive despite not being as efficient because his offensive game plan is by nature high risk vs high reward.
The man has ran the best offenses in the country. It is completely ridiculous to insinuate that this guy can't coach players not to make procedural penalties. He's made a fricking career of it.
Yes, I imagine he is losing some of his grace with fans. As he should be. But let's not kid ourselves. We knew this buying in stuff was a problem last year. Remember Cole Kelley's escapades last season?
It's pretty fricking obvious there is a toxic culture up there. And that isn't on Morris, as much as some would like it to be.
And anyone that points that out isn't necessarily a hugger.

Learn to provide more context if you don't want to be misunderstood. You have been all over the place in this thread. Take a break from Arkansas athletics if you get this worked up over it, can't be good for your health.

The silly thing is that the guy had plenty of great things to say about Bert but I guess some will ignore that now because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Apparently Morris could teach this offense to high school kids...as he was a very successful HS coach in Texas running...this offense.
Apparently he could teach it to SMU players as they seemed to improve year over year.
So...why do we hear that we only have half the offense installed and we still can't line up right and continue to make errors that teams are over before the first game?
I really don't know...one might guess that he lost the team before he started, but there actually appears to be effort sometimes.
Today...was a train wreck. There's no pride left on this team...anywhere.
