Defense wins games.

Morris will build a competitive team, given enough time, but Arkansas doesn't have the resources to build a consistent winner without selling the farm to build a top flight defense.

We could have had him. But we still have idiots making decisions around here.

Morris is about to sign a top 10 class, and only got 2 of the top players from in state.

I think we are fine. Go troll the rant, not your own boar(e)d.

Fair enough.

Follow up question: Who is responsible for me living my entire life a lie believing that the Hogs can actually win games?

I mean, I keep hearing these rumors that we used to be good, but I'm telling you guys, outside two damn years, our football team has been pretty terrible for like, MY ENTIRE LIFE.

We hired a defensive minded coach and fizzled out so naturally we rebounded by hiring a guy with a background on offense. I would say that’s pretty common in football so it shouldn’t be a surprise why Morris got the nod over Venables.

It would be funnier if you made a thread on it.

Otherwise, give it some time, it'll happen again. Probably fairly soon.

See, I think this part is a mistake.

I mean, I'm only joking about the Venables thing, but this philosophy of abandoning what you've done and running in the exact opposite direction is silly.

Like, we are gonna hire this defensive guy, and as soon as his roster is full of his (presumably) defensive players, we're gonna fire him and hire someone to build the offense.

This way, we always either have a defense or an offense, and never both.

When you're limited in your resources, it may not be the best idea to flop around like that

Not sure, maybe it helps me that I didn't really become a fan until I was in high school.

Looking forward to basketball season. I think this team has a lot of potential, y'all.

I know there's no way this will actually happen, but man, if we could somehow convince Gafford to stick around for his senior year, this team may look like a national contender. One year off, but getting close.

We don't typically hire coordinators either so that's probably another reason we went with Morris

I think Morris is gonna be great. I'm just fooling around with this thread.

This guy is a damn good coach.

Oh frick, you're back.

Between the annoying as hell LSU fans on the rant and the whining ninnies on here, I'm about ready to find me a new sports board.

Looks like this place hasn't missed a step.

Don't worry, eventually we will have a winning sports program and people can stop being so morose and depressed.

Thanks man! Hell, I missed you too.

I don't even know what the hell happened. I think I made an inappropriate joke.
