The SWC was a strong conference from the 30s to the 70s. Probation destroyed the conference in the 80s and the 90s.

It wasn't a Sunbelt conference.

Long didn't hire Morris. He was fired a few weeks before Bert was fired.

Arkansas conducted a coaching search without an AD.

Very smart.

Oh yea, that's right. Didn't they blame it on some intern bimbo?

Arkansas hasn't recovered from the 2012 Louisiana Monroe loss.

That was the game that brought reality to fans that Petrino was gone and the suck was here to stay.

Chad Morris kinda lucked into having Tajh Boyd, DeAndre Hopkins, and Sammy Watkins for 3 straight years. That’s what made him a household name.

His recruiting wasn’t bad He and his staff couldn’t coach, game plan, or develop players. When he was fired his staff either quit coaching, went to a D-2 job or went to high school. They were terrible

Florida st coach Norvell wanted the job but he had “skeletons in his closet.” Think the pirate was interested too. But we went with Chad fricking Morris. So dumb.

He was a good recruiter and a good dancer. HRV didn't like it though.

At his introductory press conference he “rappelled” down from the rafters. It would have been fitting for his firing to have involved him being yanked back up into the ceiling.

He also recruited Deshaun Watson to Clemson. Morris was at Watson’s wedding a few weeks ago.

He should have left in a giant slingshot.

Obviously, I'm not pissed. I think it was great. I watched Mizzou beat them 38-0 in a downpour.

Regardless, however, how can you be mad at Chad Morris? He was just a really bad coach who had no business whatsoever being a head coach at a P4 school, much less an SEC school. The guy went 14-22 at SMU for crying out loud. EVERYONE knew it was a terrible hire the moment it was announced. It you're going to be mad, be mad at the Arky higher ups who approved the hire. Absolutely clueless.

A large chunk of my passion for the game went out the window when that cocksucker was here.

Got boat raced by Western Kentucky, lead by the home town hero quarterback he ran off from Arkansas.

First time and hopefully the last time I'll ever root against the Hogs. As far as I'm concerned, Ty Storey represented the state in that game and The Fighting Chaggies were the visitors.

As cringe as that was, it was kind of on brand for 2018 football culture

It’s not his fault. Blame Arkansas for hiring a guy who had a losing record over 3 years at SMU and lost his only bowl appearance. That school loves hiring lemons.
