Hey folks, not asking this to flame your board, but curious as to what's going on with the team. I haven't watched much football this season outside of Auburn's three games.

I realize some people will chalk it up to Morris' coaching, but I wouldn't think he's a bad coach. He was successful at Clemson and had SMU trending in the right direction.

Is it his ability as a HC, the coordinators, not having the right talent for his system, etc.?

Would like to hear a real analysis and not a bunch of angry fans -- I get enough of that on the AU board.

the players are from a pro-style team. the O-line devolved the past couple of years and now there aren't any talented QBs or WRs. Morris took that team and is transitioning them to a run-based spread team. It's a completely different style that the QB's aren't used to, and with that there aren't any QB's looking like they can run the system well enough to win games so far.

switching up QBs and WRs trying to find some players has broken down trust so checks, reads, and routes are currently in disorder. The defense isn't as bad as they look, special teams are bad except for field goals.

I think we have internal problems, and not from the coaching staff, but in the team.

I think half of the locker room is still divided. Like it was last year. We have no leadership, or if we do they are more worried about being boo'd for playing like shite, than they are about playing like shite.

This team is soft, weak, and weak minded. You guys will go up 3 scores of any kind and they will straight up quit.

Appreciate the insight.

I don't think AU runs up the score this weekend since Chad and Gus are friends. Personally, I've never had a problem with Arkansas -- it was more Bielema and his relationship with Gus.

Any of you heading to AU for the game this weekend?

Our team would rather whine about being booed and laugh and joke around on the sidelines while down by 30 than play football

I was in Jordan- Hare for the 56-3 beat down.

I'm struggling with driving 15 miles for the rest of the games in DWRRS

We suck and the players are mentally broken.

All of the above. He inherited an almost can't win situation and his OC calls crap plays. Our O line is weaker than puppy pee and we have little talent on the team. So. it's all of the above.

Most Hog fans aren't angry, just apathetic and see no end to the suckage that is Arkansas football.

Auburn will have no choice but to run up the score. Arkansas can't stop my nephew's peewee football team

Basically we have:
1. No team leadership
2. No QB
3. The worst offensive line in recent memory
4. a loser mentality in the locker room.
5. a severe lack of SEC caliber talent on the depth chart.

I love my Hogs but there is almost no way this game won't be ugly.

See you in 2 years when Chad has had time to recruit to his system and we are no longer fitting square pegs into round holes.

Sadly I fear this is true. We are going to have to replace folks. This is going to be a long rebuild like Moo State endured.
