Chad Morris Observations From Clemson Fans

First, congratulations on Coach Morris. A lot of Clemson fans are adopting Arkansas as their second favorite team to cheer for.

Coach Morris is the Architect of Clemson's current offense that has been successful since 2011. It's not exactly the same way as he ran will at Clemson and I'll touch on that shortly.

He is a Fantastic recruiter and is a good family man from everything we have observe. While he knows the Texas recruiting lanes very well, he will steal some talent out of Florida as well..

You will get very talented QB's, TE's and WR's wanting to come to Arky...TE's in his scheme will catch several passes a year as he understands the importance of spreading the ball. TE's are not just big blockers in a Chad Morris Offence.

He is a risk taker. He is going to stretch the field early. He doesn't care who the defensive backfield is or how good they are. They are going to get tested.

He wants 80-100 offensive plays per game. Alabama-type offenses like 60 or so offensive snaps to play ball control.

The way Clemson keeps our defense from tiring out being out on the field more is simple..we put 2nd and 3rd stringers in the game in meaningful downs throughout the year so when it's championship November, we have a very experienced group of players that can rotate in and out and play fresh....(We only have 6 scholarship Seniors this year). That's why some of our earlier games can get a little messy, but usually by the end of October we are a pretty solid team usually peaking.

Tricky/Gimmick plays: He is a bit of a mad scientist at times. He will throw some crazy shite at a team that works a lot more than it doesn't.

Downfalls: Sometimes he doesn't know when to slow down. That's probably the one biggest ding we saw at Clemson. There were times when we had big leads or when we just needed to take the air out of the ball and Morris couldn't do that..Tempo, Tempo, Tempo!...The Auburn game this year is an example of how we evolved. We got a decent lead, Auburn couldn't score and we were able to grind the clock out and take the W.

He definitely likes to run the ball! He can run the HUNH as fast with the running game as he can with the passing game.

It is a very exciting time to see Arky deveolp over the next few years.
