...Last years team wins 2-3 more if it had a defense that isnΓÇÖt laughable...

Yeah, that's a pretty big if.

I donΓÇÖt think so. Any defensive coordinator With any semblance of an ability to strategize and tactically employ their resources couldΓÇÖve figured out how to not look like a sixth grade football team who had never seen the option against navy or forced Memphis to run more than literally two different plays in the second half. Or keep Conceding 5-10 rushing yards minimum on each play to James Madison (on the way to 300 plus on the ground) by consistently lining Up without any leverage. Or just any number of games where the middle of the field is always open on third down, defense of backs never press and play up close in short yardage and just allow them to pick up a first down whenever they want, Or the hundreds of times that big play burst because nobody on the defense could tackle or they were so far out of position that they could never close the distance to keep a 5 yard play from turning into a 60 yard play

So like I said, the defense didnΓÇÖt even have to be good, just not a complete laughing stock. They were wanting for good coaching, not necessarily talent. A lot less talented teams getting much better results than what we have seen on defense the past few years. Malone Can in large part shoulder the blame for about 75% of the games lost while Chad was here

This is the hog fans first appearance, of the shaken up Chad face.

The Razorbacks fans just need to lock arms and be ready for North Texas.

While I didnΓÇÖt care for the way Chad left, IΓÇÖm still very much in his camp over Sonny. Only person I like less than Sonny is Rick for hiring a nobody. Chad had a far greater challenge taking a coachless season team and making something from nothing. He made the offense exciting and had he had the current DC during his tenure, I truly believe we would have been a 9 win team. Now bc of the hire of SD we will regress to a 2 win team and will more likely cap around 6-7 games until he goes or we finally kick him.

Hope you're ready for that nice "crow" dinner about this time next year !

Why all the Schadenfreude? I am thankful to chad Morris for what he did here. He didnΓÇÖt build an all conference team, but he completely flipped a roster than had 50% FCS level talent and made the offense watchable. He made this job infinitely more attractive and put in a lot of the grunt work needed to get us out of the abyss. He was a decent defensive coordinator away from being sognificantly more successful in his time here. Last years team wins 2-3 more if it had a defense that isnΓÇÖt laughable...that is to say that if Kane were DC last year with the exact same talent.

CM haters complain about leaving the team high and dry for the bowl game but he did nothing different than 95% of other coaches do. In fact, Scott Frost coaching UCF in their bowl game was notable for it being an aberration.

The dude wasnΓÇÖt Ron Meyer and he could have made some better decisions that would have translated to more wins, but to act slighted by him is wrong. He took this team from 11ppg to being on the verge of a top 10 offense when he left.
If you sincerely believed all of the hype and used car salesman talk CM did then IΓÇÖve got some land west of Malibu to sell you. This is a G5 school without the resources and glamour to hang with big P5 jobs, obviously he was just trying to get experienced and build a resume to take the next step..they donΓÇÖt do lifers in the G5 anymore. It was mutually beneficial, he got his big gig and we got our team out of a huge rut and gave the next guy much more to work with. Even if most of chads guys need to be recruited over, the average level of talent across the depth chart is still significantly higher than before he came here. CanΓÇÖt be too mad about that

Uh, wrong. Chad could have fired Malone after the first year when it was obvious he was in over his head. Instead, Morris apparently had no clue, and kept the guy until the very end. That is 100% on Morris.

He has done the same thing again at Arkansas with the hiring of Chavis, who has been terrible for years. Again, somehow Chad doesn't recognize this. The CSU loss was classic Chavis. Fortunately for him, the Arkansas faithful will put so much pressure on him after this year's debacle of a season, he will likely be forced to fire him.

Same as always.......a bunch of cliches.......while staring down and reading word for word from his notes.

His lack of sincerity will make his leash even shorter with the Arkansas faithful.

You arenΓÇÖt disagreeing with me. IΓÇÖm not saying that chad wasnΓÇÖt responsible for hirirng and keeping Malone, but I am saying that his decision to do so shot himself in the foot over and over again. He could have had an extremely good record if he had hit on a DC here

He I would love to eat my own foot but even with the cupcake schedule next year I donΓÇÖt see more than 7/8 wins at the high end. IΓÇÖm thinking 6-6.
