FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek stood on the sidelines, in the tunnels and in the locker rooms during the last few Razorback football games, and he did not like what he was seeing.
Not just lopsided losses, but long faces and unhappy players.
Yurachek said Monday that he told Coach Chad Morris the day after a 54-24 home loss to Mississippi State that, in essence, the next game against Western Kentucky was win or else.
The Razorbacks lost 45-19 to the Hilltoppers and former Arkansas quarterback Ty Storey on Saturday, and the next morning Yurachek dismissed Morris after less than two years on the job.
