So does the hiring of this Morris fella instill confidence

in you that he’s the one to extinguish the dumpster fire and take us to the Promised Land?
I’m willing to give the man a chance and TBH I really didn’t know what to expect. Most likely, I would not have been overwhelmed with whoever they hired. I figured we probably weren’t getting Belichick or anyone like that.
But we’ll start a new chapter and only time will tell.

I love this hire.
SMU fans are upset
National media thinks we nailed it.
And if deshaun watson/DeAndre Hopkins ball out in Houston for the next 10 years, Morris will have the best pitch in the state of Texas to recruits.
The only people melting are people that don't understand he took over the worst team in the FBS 3 years ago

I’m optimistic, seems to really be adored by some that know him better than us so that’s got to be a good sign.
And I’m just so glad we finally divorced, Bret, I wish him the best but that just sucked the life and soul out of us by the end.
So, consider me a happy camper for the time being at least.

from another poster (drbeeper)...
quote:
really don't understand why everyone thinks Norvell is better. Morris has turned around at team that was a total shiteshow and made them bowl eligible in two years.
if we are talking about recruiting, he has a different set of tougher academic standards at SMU to deal with. Not so here.
He's the better choice than a one year job hopping assistant that took over a good program to begin with.
Furthermore, I have deep family connections into the SMU football family, and everyone there loves him, but knows they are going to lose him.

I'm righting a story about this carpet-bager as we speak.
Stay tuned.

It's not a home run hire but there's potential for him to do very well here. I'm optimistic but I'm not swinging from the chandelier. I don't think anyone should be discouraged by this hire. It's very clear what the front office wants to do now. We're going to hit Texas hard and often.

I feel much better with Morris than I did when Bert was hired. He seems to be extremely focused, passionate, well-liked/respected by so many in this sport, well-connected, & so knowledgeable, particularly when dealing with a flailing team/program. To do what he did with the abysmal mess at SMU makes me very hopeful, & I haven't felt that since Bobby P. Nothing drastic will happen overnight, but I believe Morris will be fully vested in the Razorback program & give it everything he's got. No one who takes on what he did at SMU has a lazy or lackadaisical bone in his body. Also, I don't believe he'll have any peripheral issues which might distract or interfere with his job & focus. I believe it's a really, really great & solid hire.

Morrison should be able to load our roster with Texas talent. If he can keep the few D1 players that we produce, keep our footprint that we're developing in Louisiana and build us a Texas pipeline then our recruiting woes are over for a while.

Every coaching search all that's talked about is how important it is for us to recruit Texas. This is the first time in a long time we've actually committed to that philosophy.

I think he could be our coach for a long time. He'll surprise people by winning on the field, while winning them over off of the field. He does have a bit of a reputation as a job hopper, but it's doubtful that he'll leave for his alma mater any time soon.
I also like that he has a degree in mathematics. Our last coach to have a degree in mathematics was Bobby Petrino.

I had hoped to land Norvell to be honest. You have to wonder if there is any truth to the rumors going around about the guy that neither Ole Miss, Arkansas, or even the woeful Vols offered the gent.
One thing is certain though, we are going all in on Texas at the moment. We just snagged SMU's head coach and Houston's AD. It looks like we are going for more of a SW then SE direction for the program and that makes sense.
While we managed to snap up some very good players from the SE we haven't been able to consistently land top level talent from the Deep South. Recruiting Texas hard might be the only way that Arkansas can begin to stockpile enough athletes to win in the SEC.
