FAYETTEVILLE — As of his 1 p.m. Tuesday press conference, Arkansas coach Chad Morris hadn’t seen the 14-minute film honoring the legacy of the late Frank Broyles.
But he certainly intends to watch it this evening.
Broyles, who coached Arkansas to its only football national championship and later served as the Razorbacks’ athletics director for 34 years, died one year ago today at age 92 after suffering from Alzheimer’s, the disease from which his first wife, Barbara, died 13 years earlier.
Written by Larry Foley, professor and chairman of Arkansas’ School of Journalism, narrated by Scott Bull, who played quarterback for Broyles, and executive produced by senior associate athletic director Kevin Trainor, the short documentary titled Frank Broyles, Arkansas Legend, details his football career, longtime service to Razorbacks sports and the role he played in uniting the fan base.
