FAYETTEVILLE -- The Chad Morris era at the University of Arkansas is over less than two years after it began.
Morris was fired as head football coach by UA Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek on Sunday morning. The move came less than 24 hours after Arkansas lost 45-19 to Western Kentucky in the season's on-campus finale in front of an announced crowd of 42,985, the worst attendance at Reynolds Razorback Stadium since its expansion to 72,000 seats before the 2001 season.
Arkansas fell to 2-8 on the season and 4-18 under Morris, the worst 22-game stretch in the program's history.
