This would be horrendously stupid if we retained him.
You'll be able to hear echos in the stadium it'll be so sparsely attended.

The program was already burned slap to the ground when he got here.
You don't fix that in two years.
We have (or had) 54 freshmen on an 85 man roster.
You don't win a ton of games with that much youth.
We have some good young talent. But it's still relatively inexperienced.
He should and probably will get at least one more year to show a good bit of improvement.

There's still 2 other teams in the SEC alone with more freshmen, one of them is Alabama and I can't remember the other right now but I remember they're a decent team (I think it's Auburn?).
Not trying to compare us to either, just saying that 50+ freshmen isn't very rare.
Only way Chad gets another year is with massive staff changes, and they'd have to be proven names that will actually come. Otherwise we hit the other end of the $ delta and start losing money.

There's not 5 winnable games on the schedule next year with Chaggy as HC. Replacing staff won't help, he's lost with game decisions and halftime adjustments.
He's learning on the job, we need to cut bait if he doesn't win 3 more games this season.

May not be a great excuse but I do remember a graphic during the A&M game that said we have the 2nd youngest defense in the NCAA.

I use to agree. But Baylor is 6-0 this year after a 1-11 2017 season. Their program was in a much worse position IMO.
Record aside I can’t point to one area I’ve seen significant improvement. That should be happening regardless of talent.
Here is one thing that opened my eyes to Morris not cutting it. Watch our “trick” plays. I don’t get hung up on whether people think they are gimmicks or not. All offense should be based on some level of deception. However we have never executed a play and had a RB or WR completely open or uncovered. Even with Bilema we had that TE drag to the opposite side of the play that was open 90% of the time. Wingo ran that wheel route out of the backfield with Petrino that was always open.
Nothing in Morris’ offense comes close to producing the same mismatches or exploiting of the defense. That’s a sign of either poor coaching of technique or poor play design.

Our schedule next year is brutal. We may have a worse record next year. Fire tChad.

Chad is not getting 1 more, the Arkansas media attacking him the past 2 days prove that. They got the all clear to go after him and in Arkansas once the media starts in on a coach, it’s over. Same thing happened with Heath, Pelphrey, Nutt, Bielema, and Anderson.

Like Morris, Matt Rhule also had a losing record through three years at Temple FWIW.
Why one works out and the other doesn’t is just the randomness of college football coaching hires. Hard to explain how some guys like Chip Kelly look amazing at once place and then suck everywhere else. All coaches pretty much copycat off of each other and do the same thing so when you catch lightning in a bottle with a perfect coaching situation you should pay whatever it takes to keep him IMO.

Did not know this. Agree it’s really hard to understand why some guys make it and other don’t. I wasn’t upset with the Morris hire. I wasn’t upset we only won 2 games last year. The wins and losses this year also aren’t a huge issue to me but I am very disappointed we aren’t seeing any progression.
A large part of that is oline play is still beyond terrible. Not completely on Morris but being in year 2 means he owns some of blame for guys not getting better. We also don’t have a QB equipped to run the RPO which is a major issue.
But seeing how quickly others have been able to turn programs around is frustrating though. We have enough talent to make a bowl game this year and it’s looking like getting to 3-4 wins will be a challenge.

schedule isn't gonna get much easier either. Kentucky and sjsu should have been wins for us. aTm I had as a toss up anyways. I hoped they were our upset
we must beat moo state and I still think Mizzou is possible but bryant will probably look like a super star that day

It proves nothing. He will get 1 more. Possibly 2. Just preparing you for the pre-melt

This.
The administration at Arkansas has always had a tell when it comes to their intentions with a coach and it's obvious by way of the media.
If the state media is keeping the fan base at bay or lobbing softballs to the coach, he's safe. If they're pressing hard and openly questioning the coach or his decisions, they've been given the green light by the AD.

I remember during Bert's last year when the media finally turned against him and I pointed this out. Some scoffed at that, saying I didn't have a clue of what I was talking about. A month later Bert had gone the way of the Dodo bird.
With no insult to UALR, UCA, and Arkansas State... the Razorbacks are the only game in town for Arkansas sportswriters. Sure you can write about the smaller universities and high school sports but the Razorbacks are the big leagues in this state.
Which means the last thing you want to do is burn your bridges with them. When the media begins to turn on a coach then it is a sure and certain sign he's screwed.

PorkRindJimmy from Hogville saw Bobby Petrino and a booster yesterday somewhere in Texas. The tinfoil hats are being fashioned as we speak
