Chad Morris is The Most Unqualified Head Coach in Razorback History.

I mentioned this in threads when Chad was hired but I have to bring it up again. We let Jerry Jones choose our HC. (If you don't believe me, talk to some boosters, and they'll tell you this was Jerry's decision.) This is what we get for it. We went from Bielema who had 3 straight Rose Bowl appearences, 4 straight top 25 finishes, including 2 top 10s, top 25 finishes in 6 of his 7 seasons at Wisconsin, and never had a losing season, to Chad fricking Morris and his "impressive rebuild" of SMU with a fricking 14-22 record, and 0, I repeat, 0. Power. 5. wins. I was so pissed when he was hired, because he's clearly the most unqualified coach in Razorback history. We gave him all that money for nothing more then recruiting ties and potential. I will not completley shite on the potential. The potential is there. He recuited Deshaun Watson at Clemson and was a very succesful offensive coordinator for a good Clemson team. He was also an extremely successful high school FB coach. Impressive enough resume for a school like SMU to hire him to be head coach. He does go in and improve them from abysmal to .500 but was that really that impressive? His offense when clicking does look good and it utilizes RPO which is exactly what everyone on the forefront of dynamic offenses is doing in the NFL and CFB right now. That's great. He also has ties to recruiting in Texas which we desperately needed to re-establish. So again good. But is all that really a worthy resume for the HC of a top 25 program of all time? Hell no. Hiring someone like that is absolutley pathetic. That's the kinda guy for Vandy to hire, or Wake Forest. Not the Arkansas Razorbacks that a whole state is supposed to be represented by, with pride. We are too talented to be this bad. We have good talent. This is all on coaching. In 2 years we've lost to San Jose State, Colorado State, and North Texas. I didn't even know it was possible for our program to be this bad. Chad should have known the Chief was washed up after seeing his A&M defense get abused for years. That and having a protege instead of an established offensive mind at OC were his first two signs of incompetence right from being hired. In the last 60 years, the only non-interim who challenges Chad was Jack Crowe and we all know that was a special set of circumstances and his leash was as short as can be. We deserve way better than what he have right now. I'm not confident Yurachek (Jerry) will pull the plug after this year, even if we don't win another game, because he wants to see his vision given a full chance, and I get that. But if we don't go bowling next year, or at the very and I mean the very fricking minimum have KJ Jefferson ready to take over for a substantially improved, no OOC-loss team, it's time for the fricking banners.

Yeah but the third generation of Jones puts on the hog jersey and runs through the A.
So totally worth all of it.

What I don’t understand is that Morris beat better teams than SJSU while he was at SMU with Hicks at QB. San Jose State was 1-11 last year. Doesn’t make sense to me. I want to be pissed and blame the coaching but Orgeron was a terrible coach at Ole Miss and now that he has mega talent at LSU he’s suddenly winning. It takes a huge combination of suck between both coaching and players to be this bad

It took Ed Orgeron many years to learn what it takes to be successful. If you go back and listen to the interviews he did when he was hired at LSU, it will make a lot more sense. He talks about what he learned from his experience at Ole Miss and USC. And his coaching philosophy has changed in many ways for the better.
For example...he now understands the paramount importance of hiring top-quality, experienced assistants, and being able to delegate to them in a manner which enables them to adequately and superbly carry out the duties for which they were hired, and tolerating nothing less in performance.
It takes top-quality management skills to be a successful head coach, especially in the SEC.

This is what it would take at this point. He’d have to bring in an established OC maybe a former HC or NFL guy, and turn the keys over to him. Otherwise he’s toast. Honestly I wouldn’t mind this. Morris recruits decent enough. I really dint want to see another wasted recruiting class.

Yep,those darned freshmen should be performing at least at junior level by now.

Morris won't bring in an established OC because that guy will want to run his own system and Morris is clearly dedicated only to his system fo a fault.
Your defense beyond awful yet he still can't wait and is forcing his "hammer down" bullshite isntead of shielding his D and trying to put together sustained drives. The line seems to get much better push when they go under center and do some more pro style run sets but he's basically all but abandoned that now as well.
He's too stubborn and keeps trying to force players to do what they can't do.
The defense just simply has no speed on the back end and no push up front. Other than that, they're A-OK.
Doesn't matter who is the coach here is next year, he needs to recruit virtually nothing but o line and defense.

Just based on the eye test I think that’s a pretty bold statement there, Cotton.

Here's what's gonna happen. We are all gonna shite on Jerry Jones in this thread, but once the question of paying for all this bullshite gets thrown out there we are gonna expect, who, to step in and pay for this shite? Jerry Jones.
I really wish we could get away from bullshite like this but I don't even know if it's possible at this point. Takes big money to run this sort of thing and we are digging ourselves a ridiculously large hole.
"Jerry Jones, we are gonna need another 30 mill or so to get rid of these coaches yet again. We want you to pay for this, but we also want you to shut the frick up when it comes to hiring the next guy."
That's not how the real world works, unfortunately. Jeff Long really screwed us, y'all. If we get rid of this guy we have zero wiggle room for another error on the next hire. May as well bulldoze the stadium and sell that renovation for scrap.

That's why it is important to hire a head coach who understands this dynamic from the outset. Ed Orgeron didn't understand it while he was at Ole Miss. He had never been in a position other than an assistant coach before that time and found himself trying to micro-manage in areas where, as a head coach, it becomes counter-productive.
I'm not convinced that Chad Morris understands this.
As far as I know, he wasn't the one hiring assistants at Clemson. He was an assistant. When hired at SMU, he hires a couple of GA's as his OC and OL coaches. Then he brings them with him to Arkansas. That will not cut it in the SEC.
I have little doubt about his ability as an OC or his ability to recruit. I just think he has a whole lot to learn before he is able to compete as a top-notch head coach, especially in the SEC.

He might be unqualified but he loves little rock. Do ya'll not remember him putting on a show to celebrate the all time worst recruiting class of 2018??????? Morris came down from the rafters. He talked about how important little rock is. One Razorback. Man, you can't hate a coach who loves the rock!!!!!!!
He appreciates and understands the importance of waste management stadium.
Forget his losing record. His inability to beat a P5 team. His inability to beat bad FCS ball clubs by 40+.
MORRIS croots Texas. Nevermind that his recruiting classes (outside the horrible 2018 class) have finished about the same as every coach here.
MORRIS can coach up talent and adapt. He is just a high school football coach --- remember --- and that's why high school coaches do. Nevermind that he can't pick a QB to save his life and when he does they become INT machines.
Forgot all that mess and remember that Morris is at least better than Bielema! Why?
Because he looooooooves little rock.

Morris' success or failure as a head coach has absolutely nothing to do with his attitude toward the city of Little Rock.

In other news.
A week after upsetting #1 North Carolina our nationally ranked women's soccer team beats Bama :
How many games do they play in little rock?
I thought you can't be successful without the support of the whole state and you have to play in little rock for the support of the whole state.
horseshite. Focus on winning and trash the state pride nonsense. State pride is for losers anyways. Support your alma mater and develop a real sense of pride.
Quit appeasing the little rock losers and focus on winning games on campus.

He’s not in a position to be stubborn if he values his job and career. There’s no way he’s here next year without multiple staff changes.

I have no idea and don't care. I'm thinking the Razorbacks did play the LR Trojans in baseball last year. But you're right. It was at Baum. And the 2021 football game against UAPB will be played in Fayetteville. So I guess that will make you happy.

nope.... love the idea of playing instate schools. little rock is the enemy we should play them as much as possible.
so far the shittle rock trojans have only beat us in a midweek baseball game. we ended up in Omaha and they ended up losing students, their chancellor, and AD. I think we came out good on that deal.
Other than that our horrible volleyball team dominated them and won 3 sets to nothing.
We also played and kicked the shite out of them in women's soccer in the first round of the NCAA tournament-
of course you dumbshite little rock losers (loosers in your venacular) don't remember that.

And where will the 2021 football game against UAPB be played? I haven't heard.
