How long was his initial contract? Is this just 1 extra year and a slight salary bump?

Why though? They should have waited at least another year. I get recruiting, but no one is after him.

After 1 year?

Seems premature.

I think he will be good when he gets guys that fit his style. But after 1 lackluster year seems too early.

Little disappointed in the amount. He won 8 games should have given him a bigger raise... we gave Dan Mullen a raise after winning 5 games 6 years into his season and it was more than 3.2 million.

Joe can coach circles around Dan The Scientologist

Auburn: where 8-5 means you're on the hot seat

Mississippi State: where 8-5 means an extension and a raise

With the caveat of yes, Arkansas had its worst season of football ever last year and we were pounded by State, I was not very impressed with Moorhead's first year at Starkville.

Handed the best defense in the school's history on a silver platter and an offense that was at least mildly effective he went 8-5 and was very underwhelming. That includes some lopsided losses along the way.

Don't get me wrong... if Moorhead had coached last year's Arkansas team and taken them to an 8-5 record I'd be in favor of giving him a life time contract. But he was handed the keys to a Corvette and drove it like a Ford Pinto.

We always give a coach an extension to stay at 4 years. slight bump in salary which makes him the 11th highest paid coach in the SEC.

They must like what they're seeing on the inside. Joe is a loser though and couldn't win with 3 first rounders.


He's got the personality of a poor man. He doesn't think highly of miss. recruiting success even under mullen.

I get extending the guy to help recruiting but it's such a strange time of year to do so.

Whatever. If he wins great, if he sucks he already has a buyout anyway.

Extend a guy like les miles with a 17 million dollar buyout. Now how do you feel about Moorhead.

Now I know how the rest of the SEC felt whenever UT would extend Dooley or Jones.
