Already? Arkansas fans seem ready to move on from the Chad Morris era
Arkansas may have hit a new rock bottom on Saturday night, losing at home to a San Jose State team that went 1-11 in 2018.
It wasn’t a good look for coach Chad Morris, who despite bringing in a good 2019 recruiting class, now has losses to Colorado State, North Texas and San Jose State on his resume in less than two years.
Already, it seems as if fans have had enough. Arkansas supporters flocked to Twitter late Saturday night to call for Morris to be fired.
Here are some of the many tweets calling for Morris’s job:
Ok. Fire him. Chad Morris is not the guy.
Woo Pig Suck…
If you have any passion in your bones at all Hog fans… You cannot let this stand.

I don’t see any way Chad Morris survives that loss. They won’t fire him during the season, but he’s done. He’s now lost the fan base. Absolutely embarrassing performance.

Chad Morris should be told to clean out his office because there really is no reason for him to be the head coach at Arkansas and in fact Morris now Poses A Clear and Present Danger to any future success of the Razorbacks!
To not fire Chad Morris tonight is Total Malfeasance! https://t.co/XYJ48Lcob4— Coaches Hot Seat (@CoachesHotSeat) September 22, 2019
Chad Morris either fires his whole staff or he should be expecting to be looking for a job in December

It’s Sunday morning, September 22nd, and Chad Morris apparently still has a job making $3.5 million per year at Arkansas.
Presumably because it would cost another $12.25 million to fire him. That’s the only reason I can fathom.

@ArkansasFight I have seen better coaching from a 1-8 junior high team. Fire Chad Morris Now
The only point lower for this program would be a Bobby Petrino rehire.— David (@disgusteddave) September 22, 2019

I’m one of the biggest hog fans you will find. If you fire Mike Anderson after nothing but winning seasons, how do you justify keeping Chad Morris after losing to a worthless San Jose State? It is year 2. #pathetic

Arkansas should fire Chad Morris tomorrow. They won’t win an SEC game. That will be two years without a conference win. We’d have to improve to be a laughing stock. Fans have to tired of this level of incompetence. Four words for you. Jack Crowe. The Citadel

I get so tired of the "If you fire Chad Morris, who else are they going to get?" excuse. You don't have to be a high profile candidate to be a decent football coach. How about don't let the billionaire known for hiring bad coaches be involved next time. Problem solved.#wps

Can we fire Chad Morris yet or nah? Don’t want to hear that it’s a young team. That should never happen.

Fire Chad Morris. Absolutely zero excuse. I’m done.

While it still seems unlikely that Morris loses his job (at least not until the end of the season), things are getting tense in Fayetteville.
You hired someone who had a 14-22 losing record at SMU, did you really think he would have success in the SEC, much less the SEC West?
It seems like SMU is doing better without him because they just upset a ranked TCU.
I am getting heavy deja vu from last season with our quarterbacks. Starkel and Kelley are just way better than Hicks and Storey but they have terrible games against group of 5 teams. Kelley threw 4 picks against North Texas and Starkel threw 5 picks against San Jose St. We never saw Kelley again and I think we won’t see Starkel again either. Again Starkel is way better than Hicks and Kelley was way better than Storey but they lose the job.
CCM is wicked bad.
It’s an honor to be banned by places like Hogville for having been right about that from jump.
Jesus, if CCM is still leading my alma mater by the time this is posted? He’s been there too long.
Atkansas is now officially the second best football team in the state.
Those that are still “wait and see” are fools ! His recruiting is not even middle of the road in the SEC……we were doomed before the first game………last year !!
Too much celebrating the week before. Why were they celebrating like that when they just beat a team they were supposed to beat? Emotions are like a burning candle. If you get too high after a win, the candle will flame too high and there will not be anything left to burn the next week. We see it all the time. Teams win big games one week, celebrate too much and come out flat and lose the next week. There emotional candle is burned out. It takes a while for the emotion to come back. Usually getting embarrassed will bring it back the next week.
I feel sorry for you guys. You ran off Bret for this dude? Sounds like the Sec west version of Tennessee. Just get it right next time.
Please keep him. We beg you. He’s the only SEC coach that the bumbling oaf Matt Luke can beat.
