In Dallas, Morris' son Chandler went to Highland Park High School with the grandson of a notable Arkansas alum, Jerry Jones.
In an interview on 105.3-FM The Fan Friday, Jones spoke about Morris' move to Arkansas.
"I respect him and have respected him," Jones said. "I think Arkansas did well. I hate it that SMU has lost him. As you know, I have the majority of my friends live where I live, and of course we're all for SMU. On the other hand, I'm glad for Arkansas because they really do have an outstanding individual that is really, I think, has got a great future.
