HOOVER, Ala. — Arkansas Coach Chad Morris and Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn, who first met when both were high school coaches, remain friends.
Malzahn said Morris will have the Razorbacks winning in time after they went 2-10 last season.
“Chad Morris is one of the best football coaches that I know at any level,” Malzahn said. “The thing about Chad, he took over a similar situation at SMU, and you’ve just got to be patient.”
Morris was also 2-10 in his first season at SMU in 2015 before the Mustangs improved to 5-7 and 7-5.
“We do talk often,” Malzahn said.
