Southern Methodist University to  ....Texas at San Antonio????? Poppycock!

Actually, he could join either spUTnik - SA  or   spUTnik - EP

Neither satellite school is flying too high these days

[southsideguy]

Has he found a team yet?

[drex]

He is probably in search for the elusive offensive line that he needs.

[meangreanmick]

Our game vs SMU next year will be much more difficult with Hicks gone.

He is going to the bottom of the SEC to play for his old Coach at Arkansas.

Talk about failing upward.

[UNTLifer]

Why would Arkansas start him in front of a younger QB?  This makes no sense at all.

[DeepGreen]

Hicks should do really well in the SEC.

That's an interesting questions.  It could be they think the young kids need another year.  He knows the system so even if he doesn't win the job he can be a valuable asset.

He was touched by the fans calling out to him...

It might make sense IF Morris needs someone who knows the system and can execute AND teach. If Hicks takes on a role starter/teacher where he's going to be starting but with the knowledge the backups are coming in some no matter what he does. Hicks has shown if he's got good receivers he can get the ball to them in Morris' system. Losing those receivers and changing systems was more that he could handle. 

I didn't watch a full minute of an Arkansas game after we played them so I have no idea how their backup QBs progressed. But in our game they were terrible and IF the Arkansas receivers are good then Hick would be an upgrade. It could buy Morris a year more to develop some QBs of his own. I don't know of a college that's done this, but several NFL teams have brought in a QB just to help teach.

Grandpa Jerry isn't going to be happy about this.

Arkansas QBs threw for a combined 2300 yards, 17 TDS and 18 INTs.

Not sold on Morris as a head coach. If Hicks exhibits the same attitude he appeared to have at SMU, I wouldn't want him close to my younger players.

I honestly opened this thread thinking SMU couldn’t find him.

Only if his name had been “end zone”

[Rudy]

Did they ever really have him?

Never hurts to have depth at a position like QB, especially when the other QBs are such garbage at Ark.

This is the greatest thing on the internet of College Football today. I disturbed my coworkers because I laughed so hard.

Ben Hicks was a decent college QB at SMU. I can think of a time we would have been glad to have him. I know he beat us once... he may have beaten us twice? More times than Mason has beaten SMU...
