re: Chad Morris Fired After 22 Games As Arkansas Coach

Maybe Bret will win, maybe he has to pay Arkansas back; hell , maybe they come to some agreement and end it early with a negotiated settlement like Les Miles did with LSU.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens. But I still think the optics of the situation aren't exactly favorable for Arkansas.

If it goes to trail, it will be in Washington County Arkansas. Guess where the University of Arkansas is located?

In any event, IMHO that sue for the 4.3 mill repayment is just leverage to make him go away. Go to trail. Bert has also publicly stated on TV that he doesn't ever think he will coach the college game again, and has been unable to provide real evidence that he has been seeking similar employment as required.

In the end, it will likely be settled out of court, and Bert is likely to get little or nothing. Without strong evidence in his favor (which he was required to provide anyway under the terms of buyout), he is paying his priced lawyers for little to no gain. To use a quote from a movie, there is no winning, only degrees of losing.

Now how that impacts the UA coaching search is another question that remains to be seen.
