ATLANTA -- Chad Morris was adored at Clemson, according to former athletic director Terry Don Phillips.
Morris was loved at SMU, according to Ted Gangi, founder of collegepressbox.com and a proud graduate of SMU.
So far, according to those who have met Morris, he has been well received at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, especially considering he hasn't coached a game. On Tuesday, he said he's been impressed with the way the Razorback Nation has embraced him.
The big question was how the media would accept Morris on Tuesday at the SEC football media days. As the third coach appearing during the day -- and not long after lunch -- it could have gone either way, but the main room was pretty crowded when Morris stepped on stage.
