At least you’re not paying $7.5M a year for Jimbo

Remember you guys going wild when you heard Morris press conference? Remember that next year when your new coach has a good speech.

And 2 grad transfer QB’s, one is SMU’s all time leading passer. Rakeem Boyd and Cheyenne O’Grady are older players and would play on just about every SEC team.

Chad’s busting his arse, he just doesn’t have it.

The guy who replaced him at SMU is doing pretty well.

Nope, don’t remember that. We attempted to accept the seemingly mediocre hire and went with it hoping for the best but that’s about it.

I did go hear him speak at a Razorback banquet thing not long after he was hired and he was fine but a fella sitting with me said something like ‘seems like we do this every few years with a guy and then he turns out to suck and we start again’ - he said it more eloquently than that but damn was he right.

I still can’t muster the energy to hate Chad, the years of suckage just blend together now- predating him- so I can’t even hate anymore, I just want him to be gone and not to hear his name again except in the past tense. I don’t even want his son to come here because that means more years of Chad.

Jimbo has beaten them twice and will go to a bowl this year. They would happily pay twice as much for a coach to have those results.

Actually, it's the alums with all the jack in Ark. that is doing all the hiring and firing. I know that is the norm most everywhere but it is beyond the pale here in Ark. The y'alls in Ark. don't have any, and I mean any, sayso. Maybe if the y'alls would quit buying preseason tickets for a couple of years then maybe that would have an input.

That stone age offense produced the third best QB in program history who was statistically either the best or second best QB in the conference two years in a row.

Part of that was because we were always playing from behind because our defense sucked arse. But Enos put together a pretty solid offense here.

Probably, but if there is no noticeable improvement as is the case now and the recruits keep jumping ship, he won't make it past year 3.

Nobody went wild when we hired Morris, most people were pissed like I was.

couldnt disagree more... he is the reason why SMU is doing so well right now... those are his guys, it took him a while, and built SMU. SMU!!! back to national relevancy... hes also changing the culture and identity of ARkansas and making it into a spread team with a roster filled with run down your throat guys... He is set up to fail there... I still feel he took the wrong job because of all those things but if he has enough time 3-4 years to get his guys there i think they could be a 3-4 team in the west which is basically a top 25 team... you have to give him time. Arkansas is not a destination job. is it a good job, yes its the SEC but you gotta give him time... id say the same thing about jeremy pruitt.. if they give him time i think he does well at Tenn...

Honestly, dude just needs a QB. People are going to say that a QB doesn't play defense, and I understand that, but if he had someone throw 5 TD's instead of 5 INT's against SJSU, and was able to move the ball a little better against A&M or OM then people wouldn't be freaking out so much.
We'll see if he can get one.

Bert was the hire that destroyed your program. Morris may need some time to get the program improving. Arkansas should have hired Kiffin.

Not on offensive line. Sonny Dykes had to bring in a lot of transfers to get SMU where it is.

oh lord.. they increased their win total every year he was there and they were a basement dweller for the last 30 years... give credit where credit is do... Dabo is thanking god now that he was on his staff to build the offense he has today...

Morris is to Clemson what Brady is to LSU... except Morris did it for years. Brady has done it for half a season... The guy (Morris) is proven... If Morris was at LSU with its Athletes he would be a winning coach...
