former Clemson OC and SMU head coach Chad Morris to Arkansas. He was 14-22 overall the last 3 years at SMU. 8-16 in the AAC.

Not sure that's really an upgrade over BERT.

true.
but from where I sit, I'd rather have Schiano than Mel Tucker. That's just me though.

It's not exactly a buyer's market for coaches, given the circumstances Arkansas did ok here.

Not really. Are people really this incapable of looking up what a dumpster fire SMU was before he got there?

you might be right, but 7-5 this season with the best win @ Cincy?

Speaking of SMU, June Jones had a pretty good year in the CFL.

He took over a bumbling 0-8 team mid-season, and lead them to a 6-4 finish with a few close losses mixed in. 

Damn near lead them to the Playoffs.

The CFL coaching is so bad they make Mark Trestman look like a good coach.

Trestman is an outstanding coach at that level. 
Most CFB coaches would suck at the NFL level as well (see Saban, Spurrier, ect) but Jones had quite a bit of success at Hawaii, who has been absolutely gawdawful ever since he left.

And Harbaugh was a much better NFL coach than he is at Michigan.
