So Monday turned out to be a rather eventful day with the news that former Arkansas secondary coach Lorenzo Ward had agreed to be South Carolina’s new defensive coordinator.

  And while the coordinator title was likely a way for Ward to get a multi-year deal from South Carolina, not many people saw it coming. In fact, I asked Ward three times on the phone Monday morning if he was actually going to be the defensive coordinator.

  I didn’t believe it.

  Anyway, here is my full story on Ward’s departure in today’s edition of The Morning News. In it, he talks about his feelings for Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino and how he won’t go after any recruits being targeted by the Razorbacks.
