High School
Why Chad Morris and Allen didn't work
Here is why Chad Morris didn't work out as Allen High School's head football coach and what's next for the former head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks and Texas High School Football Hall of Fame inductee.
Just over one year into his tenure as head coach of the Allen Eagles, Chad Morris resigned his post Friday morning, the day after the Eagles wrapped up spring football.
Why didn’t things work for Morris in his return to the high school game is the question that many will ask. The biggest reason has nothing to do with Allen or Texas High School Football, it has to do with his departure from Arkansas back in November 2019. Reports are the terms of the buyout involved an off-set, where Arkansas would pay Coach Morris the remaining value of his contract minus the difference of pay from a current employer. It’s possible the terms of the buyout dictate that Coach Morris must try and seek a job in the college ranks to maximize his income and minimize as much as possible the amount of money Arkansas has to pay in the buyout.
