As Alabama and Nick Saban keep winning, Arkansas keeps changing coaches

Standing across the field Saturday from Nick Saban will be the newest face of Arkansas' football program, Chad Morris. He's the fifth coach employed by the Razorbacks since Saban began building his dynasty in Tuscaloosa.

As Alabama has become the emblem of stability and success in the last 12 seasons, the Hogs have gradually come to symbolize volatility and failure.

The program has been on a steady decline since one of Morris' predecessors, Bobby Petrino, ran a motorcycle into a ditch six years ago, and in a metaphorical sense took the Hogs right along with him. The ensuing fallout proved lasting, as Petrino was soon fired amid scandal and launched a domino effect of grave proportions that reverberates to this day.
