True. Not sure what Morris is making, but assume enough is left to spend big for a Def coordinator etc.

you are wrong.

[DeltaBoy]

Solid hire and more experienced than Norvell!

[HoggieStyle]

Dude, you'll be on the phone telling Randy how bad a choice he was within the first 5 games of next season.

We have the greatest selection of fortune tellers as there is on HV. They are everywhere!

her still thinks Mike Anderson is the next Dean Smith. 

[Dominicanhog]

He'll be fired within 3 years...hopefully I'm wrong..

[Wooderson]

How the heck do you figure that. 

[BartIV]

I like the hire. I am excited but some on here would be excited if they hired a houseplant as coach.

[synthartist69]

Loser

[The NewEra]

The PTB were reportedly willing to break the bank to hire assistants and make Malzhan successful.  They owe the same to Morris.

[TheEnemy]

We just gave ourselves an 8 win ceiling with this hire.....might as well kept CBB.

So, if Bret was "Bert"  - what will Chad be: "Chip", "Shap", "Shat", "Chap" ?? looking for suggestions just so when things go south I know what to call him

[discombobulationist]

And if he comes in and wins? What do we call you then? I've got a few ideas...

How about: a grateful Razorback fan - my question wasn't a dig at Chad Morris - it was a dig at those on here who seem to want to denigrate any coach that doesn't meet their expectations - no matter how nonsensical those expectations are

I call Bert Bert because he was nonsensical.

[Martygit]

IMHO, you were nonsensical in your expectations - but that's just me

[GO]

Go back to jump ball, I think someone said something bad about Anderson

[hawgdavis]

I hope so I hope he turns out to be Saban 2.0

[baldhog1]

No matter how you look at it, it's a crappy hire!

So the BOT waiting a week and a half was a good idea?

[hog of steele]

You call Bret Bert because you are in 4th grade.

[hawgdavis]

I hope the entire board has to eat a ton of crow, I will gladly do so if he works out .I was just hoping with all the money we were willing to throw at Gus that we would use that approach to grab a wow hire. I think everyone was and that's why the is such a reaction to this.

May have to find out what his middle name is too.

[texas tush hog]

No, you are spot on.

[texas tush hog]

You call Bret Bert because you are in 4th grade.

Call Chad, Chet, then.

[hog of steele]

Call Chad, Chet, then.

Do you doubt this will happen? Folks will do that, question his intelligence, integrity, and the look of his wife. He will be attacked on very personal levels. That is how the Internet behaves when it doesn't get it's way. Then those who behave like petulant children will claim moral high ground as if winning razorback football is worth becoming like Texas fans.

[HotlantaHog]

Forest City Joe is the voice of reason. He was right on Bielema (if memory serves correctly) and will be proven right on Morris.

God it's like the UA, Bo, Trey and all the other cultist have put a gun to your head and told your to post that Morris is our messiah. WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

[PLAYBOAR]

Tennessee Vols fans are smarter than we are apparently.   They realize Morris is a good coach.  The ones that understand the context of the SMU achievements anyway.

[TX HOG]

He wasn't my first choice but I think he'll do good here. I'm optimisticly excited

[DLUXHOG]

From Wikipedia: "Morris is atypical among NCAA Division I head football coaches in that he did not play football at the college level."....   might be a good thing?

6-7.5 mil for his staff will get me off the ledge.

You're in the bottom 10% here in IQ and knowledge about anything re Razorback football. Gus coming here was fantasy. Norvell was never going to get an offer. Morris is 10x the mind and coach that Norvell will ever be. Now you saw Morris will be a great hire. Welcome to what is even though you did not like it or believe in it. Blowing with the wind is all you are doing.

There is no such thing as a good hire at Arkansas.

Broyles, Holtz, & Hatfield were great hires....
