re: Chad Morris Fired After 22 Games As Arkansas Coach

In his final three SEC games as head coach, Arkansas was beaten by an average of 37 points. Some of the worst losses in recent decades happened under Morris' watch as the Hogs blew an 18-point lead at Colorado State, was blown out at home by North Texas (44-17) in 2018 and then lost to San Jose State and a lopsided 45-19 defeat against Western Kentucky this season.

Morris was hired in Dec., 2017 to replace Bret Bielema but the majority of the athletic department who did the leg work to bring Morris in has since left, including Julie Cromer-Peoples who was the acting athletics director at the time of Bielema's firing and right until the final week before Morris was hired. Current Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek was hired just two days before Morris was announced as the Razorbacks new coach.
