I agree. I'm just saying if you're content to be a DC for the time being you're likely only moving unless forced, like Chavis. Whatever, maybe that's just his boy and he wants to work with him.

Those aren't homerun hires man. Leach is a retread, Norvell and Kiffin are in the same category as Morris



Leach is a retread that has rebuilt two moribund P5 programs into top 25 teams. Norvell and Kiffin have been better than mediocre in their G5 leagues. None of the three is a fricking aggy who has publically professed dislike of Arkansas.

By drama queens you mean idiots. And you must be new to being a hog fan if you didn't know that.

Sorry that I think that hiring a guy with a 38% winning percentage is not that great.

Love this hire if true, super jelly. Good job Hogs, I think he will do well. I REALLY wanted LSU to at least take a look at him, but, you know, Alleva and stuff.

LSU with O

Arky with Morris

Tennessee considering Steele.

That would be 3 sec programs hiring coaches with losing records.

Wtf has happened to this league?

He lost to a FCS school in his 5th year... Think about how mad we were when Bielema beat a 1-7 FBS school by 1 point in year 5. He's Houston Nutt that throws it. Wins a couple he shouldn't, loses a couple he shouldn't. He has no resemblance of a running game.

IMO, Morris is a good hire. SMU was terrible.

Steele and O just suck.

Morris is in his 3rd year in a major rebuild. I mean June Jones admitted he didn't recruit the final 2 years there. He's basically working with sanctions from the previous staff and produced a top 4 season at SMU in 30 years in his 3rd year.

Morris is a legend in HS here in Texas and knows about every coach at the big schools

Arkansas wanted someone with Texas ties and they got their guy. He's a very good recruiter

Morris is a really good hire IYAM. Similar offense to Gus but a much better recruiter and has TX ties. Probably 3mill or so cheaper per year as well. You did well, Hog fans.

You people who do not realize how great of a hire this is know nothing about college football. Chad Morris was left with 0 talent at SMU when he arrived. June Jones had a bunch of poo poo on the roster and left the program in shambles. He just plain did not recruit for the last few years of his tenure at SMU.

In two real recruiting years, Chad has gotten the best season record at SMU in nearly 30 years and got us bowling again. I was hoping for one more year with him.

Keep preaching, he wasn't my first or maybe second choice but there are clear reasons why he got the job and will do well.
