Josh Pate stirred the pot this week on Josh Pate’s College Football Show, diving into one of the biggest storylines in the coaching carousel: Eric Morris turning down Arkansas to become the next head coach at Oklahoma State.
According to Pate, Morris wasn’t just a candidate for the Arkansas job, he was believed by many to be the favorite. Arkansas had extended an offer and showed strong interest. Yet the Razorbacks still came up empty.
Pate put it bluntly:
“I believe Morris just chose Oklahoma State over Arkansas, and that’s kind of indicative of where the Arkansas football coaching search is at right now.
