if true, thats a very meh hire...going to be hard to be successful against the giants already established. i guess they were hoping for someone with texas ties.

Who else is realistically out there for them to get though? I think Arkansas should have waited a year.

Wasn't he near the top of our list? If he's the one I'm thinking of, it seemed that most who posted wanted him. And now that Arkansas has hired him he's "meh".

Great hire for Arkansas. They will recruit the crap out of Texas now. Morris has as many ties there as anyone. I'd rather have JM, but I think this was the best they could have done.

Now, Bileima built them as pro-style power run game. It could take awhile to implement the spread there. How patient will they be in Ark?

I don't remember them ever recruiting Texas successfully since Houston Nutt left. What makes you think they will start now? Seems to me that phenomena ended about the time Texas A&M came on board and stole their thunder. I agree that they need to do it, I just don't think that they can. They are behind all the Power 5 schools in the pecking order, and Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

They better get Jerruh involved is all I got to say

I actually think it's pretty solid. He has methodically turned SMU into a bowl team and he has ALL the ties to Texas Highschools.
Give him a few years and he will have a solid roster at Arkansas.

Petrino had some good ones from Texas. Mallett, Knile Davis, Cobi Hamilton, Travis Swanson. All in the NFL.

I think we should be able to recruit Texas better than Oklahoma State. Like 50% of our students are from Texas which is the most in the SEC outside of A&M.

Probably a pipe dream, but I saw where Morris is going to try to steal Venables away from Clemson as DC since they are really close. Even if we make him the highest paid DC in the country it would be pretty crazy to leave that situation though.

That's a good hire for them. He was on my short list of coaches I wanted at MSU.
