re: Chad Morris will make $2.45 million this year at Aubie

All you're doing is repeating the same lines we said when we hired him. It doesn't make the hire any better.

Every Barner in this thread:

I couldn't for the life of me understand why the SMU fans were so happy to see him go after he'd improved them on paper every year he was there. It's crystal clear now.

Let me tell you a little about Chad's offensive prowess.

Chad ran off Ty Storey.
Ty Storey came back to Fayetteville with a team full of 2 stars and whipped the frick out of Chad.

Congratulations Auburn!

Didn't Clemson win their National Championship the year after Morris left? I was thinking he left in 2014 and they won it all in 2015. So even Clemson improved after that turd left.

Chad’s offense was the worst thing I’ve ever seen at Arkansas and we’ve had some bad times.

Remember, we all saw Ark the last few years. They didn't have a player the last 4 years that would start for most of the upper SEC. Very few that could start for the mid level SEC. Blame Morris all you want, but most of the roster was Bert responsibility.

When you lose to Colorado State, North texas, San Jose State and Western Kentucky in two years. You are going to be shown the door. If he would have won those four games, he would still be here. No way he should have lost those games.

Chad lost the team from the very first team meeting as they were still mad a bout the Bert firing. It also didn't help that he came off as a fake and no one respected him. Chad's personality rubbed players the wrong way and some transferred as a result.

He was given plenty of time but decided that purging the current team of 33+ players was a good idea. Some of those players ended up starting for power five teams. In two years Arkansas started eight quarterbacks. That is worst than Houston nutt. The year before, Ty storey was the stater and ended beating Arkansas the year after. Some defensive lineman purposely let him run all over them in retaliation of Morris.

Western Kentucky was the last straw as the team had already quit and a dozen of them huddled up around storey, congratulating him. It was beyond words. Hunter Yuracheck didn't waste time.

It doesn't matter much time you are given if you lose to the cupcakes that you are paying millions to beat. Arkansas isn't that devoid of talent when they had many close SEC games.

Chad couldn't win over the team and the player responses on Twitter after the firing prove that they were happy that he was gone.

Because we will let Ark pick up the tab.

Rakheem Boyd was the only player on the entire roster that would've seen play time at another SEC school.

That roster is completely decimated. A legit goal for Arkansas would be to have a 6 win season sometime in the next 3 years. I've never seen a program purposefully self destruct like they did.

They didn't have any ends, so they couldn't set the edges and force teams to run more up in the middle. In very rare cases that happened, they didn't have the depth and so they were already worn out before halftime. Since the offense was so anemic, a lot of them quit and saw it as pointless.

They couldn't get any push upfront. Quarterbacks could stand in the pocket for 10 seconds or more and not be flushed. Thus passing records were set. Good secondaries are dependent on pressure from up front. When that fails, they are picked off by offenses that already have a size and speed advantage.

Sosa Agim, Scoota Harris, T.J Smith are going to be drafted.

Dre Greenland played on that 2018 defense. He just led all Rookie linebackers in tackles in the NFL.

Lack of coaching and depth doomed any hopes of a good defense.
