Morris accepted an offer to become the new head coach at Arkansas, according to a report from ESPN's Chris Low. It comes after a wild coaching cycle that saw Morris connected to several SEC openings, including Ole Miss and Tennessee.
SMU is left to search for a new coach for the second time in four years. Current running backs coach Jeff Traylor is a popular internal candidate, as is offensive coordinator Joe Craddock.
Regardless, SMU will be left to wonder what could have happened had Morris stayed on the Hilltop. He inherited a skeleton of a program in June Jones' wake.
