Hatfield has praise for staff

SPRINGDALE -- Ken Hatfield was impressed with what he heard from University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris during the UA's kickoff luncheon Friday at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center.

"I thought his message was great," said Hatfield, who led the Razorbacks to a 55-17-1 record as their head coach from 1984-89 and as a senior in 1964 starred on their 11-0 team as a defensive back and punt returner. "I think he understands the passion of the fans that historically goes back years and years.

"The passion is still there. Arkansas is still a unique place, and I think Chad and his coaches can feel it now they've been out to the Razorback Club meetings and met the fans.
