Re: Was The Rise Real?
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2018 9:47 amI was listening to someone yesterday; about Chad's much talked about... "culture change" and "best is our standard". Even in year three, we had games that we STILL were no shows...and coming out mysteriously FLAT...and that was echoed by the Chadster himself. So I'm going to grade those two with a C- at best.

and there's no reason to believe we would have improved. I doubt his results next year would have been better than this year. just another reason he was anxious to bail.

That's the way I see it. Much tougher schedule next year and good chance Chad would have watched this team slip to 5-7 which really could have hurt his career...but with TCU, Houston & Navy coming to Ford, at east there is a chance attendance will be up.

Morris living a charmed scheduling life.
Lands in Arkysaw just in time for their easiest schedule in a long time. ZERO P5 opponents among their non-conf schedule. Had to get a waiver approved by the SEC to avoid the league rule requiring at least 1 P5 opponent. Eastern Illinois, Colorado State, North Texas, and Tulsa is a really scary slate for an SEC team! Schedule also includes 7 home games, including 5 IN A ROW.

I'm sure Mrydel can expound on the good fortune of the Morris regime, regarding the schedule.

No, Jerry World is actually counted as 'neutral'. Only 4 away games, 7 home, 1 neutral.
Regardless of what Michigan did, they play Colorado State instead. 4 non-P5, non-conference games, for an SEC school.
Not saying Morris is responsible for the schedule, just very lucky again it's so favorable to him.

No question that he got lucky coming into that kind of schedule but if he can significantly improve on last year's W/L, the Arkansas faithful aren't going to care who those wins came against and he might be in position to have a banner recruiting class...unlike the circumstances he left behind at SMU.

Chad is a math guy. Understands odds, probabilities, etc. He knew exactly what he had (didn't) and he saw a 5-7 or 4-8 year staring him the face, saw that arky had a once in half-century schedule and he used that math mind to easily conclude that he had to bail and right now. Recruiting fail on D side couldn't be covered up nor excused.

Stallion would disagree.
