Replying to @TreyBiddy
Arkansas just picked up the Malzahn offense minus the Malzahn baggage at what I'm assuming will be a considerable discount. Chad Morris is the reason Deshaun Watson ended up at Clemson. Great pick up by Arkansas.

This sucks because I think it’s a home run hire for them.

You think so? Did he do much at SMU?

SMU was awful when he took over. Morris has done great there. He turned 1 of the worst offenses into 1 of the best in NCAA.

Great is probably strong, but it's a reasonable hire.

We'll see how he does.

I thought Morris was a year away from a big breakthrough at SMU.

Maybe, he's a complete departure from Bert in playing style so it's going to take some time for him to get his guys in there.

It's a coin flip but 99% of coaching hires are.

He took SMU from 1-11 to 7-5 in 4 years.

I was really hoping someone inside the conference would hire Leach. Media days would have been can’t miss. What could have been.

I wanted to see leach with a pirate eye patch on calling the hogs.

Imagine what it would sound like if Coach O and Leach had a conversation.

I would have enjoyed seeing Leach here at Arkansas but I think he's too set in his ways to start running the ball more often. As many talented running backs as Arkansas produces abandoning the running game wouldn't have made much sense.

It would have been a godsend for Mizzou though, y'all would have been able to cherry pick RBs out of Arkansas at will if we went pure air raid.

Morris doesn't seem to be a home run hire, but he looks like a solid double. Most importantly... he's not Bielema.

The offense Leach runs is a ball control offense. His teams may not be run heavy, but they usually dominate time of possession
