FAYETTEVILLE — “New” doesn’t do justice to describe the changes for the University of Arkansas football program in 2018, starting with Coach Chad Morris.
Let us detail the freshness.
Hunter Yurachek, hired after his predecessor Jeff Long entangled the department in costly financial commitments and lost the backing of UA officials, is new in the athletic director’s chair.
Morris, a first-time Power 5 head coach, hired an on-field staff consisting of eight new assistants to pair with holdovers Barry Lunney Jr. and John Scott Jr. Strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll, head athletic trainer Dave Polanski and dozens of auxiliary staff members are first-time Razorbacks.
