BTW, I am 69 and went to the U of A from 1964 to 1968. We didn’t lose a conference game til I was a junior.
Congratulations! You got 1/2 dozen years on me. Not in a race to the graveyard with you though. Then you are also well aware that this program can be a Top 10 regular finisher. I don’t understand you people’s apparent total infatuation with Bielema?? I mean just like Broyles getting senile with Nutt, “We found our man, the perfect fit for Arkansas.” You give me three million dollars a year, I will do a great guy dance for you as well. I will become a Baptist preacher. I will start attending church every Sunday. This coach needs to win football games and nothing else.
It’s not the coaches fault? Really? Who hires the assistant coaches? Who is in charge of recruiting? Yes, is’t CBB fault he is the head coach and that’s why we pay him 4 mil a year. Not his fault…That is laughable. So who’s fault is it?
Louisville lost to Clemson…which is a top 10 team and very well could have won it. Yes, BP is a way better coach than what we have now.
Why do fans like you always go back to talking about BP. Yes, he lost to LSU and Bama…So what. Arkansas was also ranked in the top 10 at the end of the season. We haven’t been ranked one year at the end of the season with CBB.
Ah… maybe because you BP sycophants mention him in EVERY SINGLE THREAD, no matter what the topic is. And yes we all know that Louisville lost to a top 10 team. Do you realize that both of the Hogs losses were also to 2 top 10 teams, 12-0 combined records, Bama is the #1 team in the nation, and also beat Clemson in the title game last year. Louisville will not lose to another top 10 team simply because they won’t play another top 10 team in the dreadful ACC. Basically BP had to win 1 big game and he just couldn’t get it done. Oh well, maybe next year, aye? :lol: LMAO, As for BP being a better coach than CBB,… prove it. Cause I have listed both of the coaches’ accolades before. And CBB has matched or exceeded BP in almost every metric. And in less time.
IMHO-it is too early to panic everyone. I will say that coaching is the heart of the matter when we are talking about the OL and the secondary and means Coaches Rhoads,Anderson and BB. Those two units play better and we are a whole lot better and maybe even win. I say the talent is still there but they appear slow as confused by too many details. K.I.S.S. HOGS YA’LL.
26 SEC games, 7 wins. That is not good for any conference.
Considering the last 4 coaches we’ve had have not beat a Saban bama team, just how many coaches do you think we need to go through?
Bielema seems to only have trouble with two coaches in the league. Saban, but everybody else does too and Sumlin, which is the only one that confuses me.
That is correct, Bielema is currently 7-19 in the SEC, and has an even 22-22 overall record at Arkansas. The state of the program when Bielema arrived has to be a major factor in making any judgement on that record.
However after going on four years and a coaching change at the OC with the attached position of QB coach, we finally have developed an SEC caliber QB to perhaps improve that overall very poor Bielema record. Now we have an O-Line so poor that it negates the QB from functioning and threatens to bench him with injury along with a constantly poor defense. The regular season is 1/2 over and this is no bright picture for the imminent future. That all is why I am starting to have big doubts about Bielema in my mind and on this board. Bielema needs to turn this type football around very soon.
People saying this type football is just an unavoidable reality of life in the SEC for Arkansas are dead wrong. Immense amounts of money have been spent to produce winning. Fans will demand that winning. People that love Bielema should get themselves an autographed picture and cherish it always. They have apparently lost much interest in football anyway.
tawtam, here is how Bobby Petrino Hog teams lost to Alambam.
– 2008 ALA 49…ARK 14
– 2009 ALA 35…ARK 7
– 2010 ALA 24…ARK 20
–2011 ALA 38…ARK 14
He didn’t fair quite as well against Alabama as Coach Bielema teams have done.
Alabama is currently No. 1 for a reason, as they were in past seasons that Hogs played them.
The Hogs don’t play for your glory, tawtam. The players sweat and work for themselves and their coaches, not for the likes of little scared people like you.
Wise up and go back to your Arkansas State Red Wolves team.
Seriously, what is this. You are glorified by close loses. No CBP couldn’t beat Bama either but that’s not the point. One game doesn’t decide a whole season. You never saw CBP lose to a team like Toledo or a one point win against a La Tech. I would much rather have loses to LSU and Bama and win the rest of the games which is what CBP did than only have 7-8 wins and no rankings as a team. And you are WRONG. The Hogs play for their fans…so yes they play for me. Scared of what? I play college football and that’s more than I can for most everyone in these rooms.
CBB is 7-19 in the SEC…and he only has trouble with 2 team? lololol That’s laughable.
NO we need to keep CBB so we can be proud of 7-8 wins a year and the lowest bowl possible. Who cares about CBP having us ranked in the top 10 two years in a row. Who wants to be ranked that high? We are better off average. We need to be proud of loses to Toledo and A&M when they were sorry, Tech at home and one point win against La Tech. Sure we beat LSU two years in a row and had a lucky win against Ole Miss. But that matters more than the rest of the season does. We are a proud average team. At least you are. Common sense tells you what’s better. Only a fool would want less.
The first two years he was having to rebuild the entire team from the ground up. Since then, he’s revitalized the team and beat Freeze, Miles, Malzahn, etc. The only two coaches he’s played more than once and not beaten are Saban and Sumlin.
And you still didn’t answer my question of how many coaches do we need to go through.
Next year. Next year! Next Year!. Why would we have to see another year of this? This is his 4th year he shouldn’t get a 5th. Besides how is next year going to get better? The same players. And don’t give me they will get better excuse.
First of all he plays teams not coaches. He had a lucky win against Ole Miss last year. Yes, he beat LSU 2 years in a row…SO. Auburn sucked last year so that’s not a big win. His biggest win is this year against a TCU team that now looked to be way over rated. He didn’t have to rebuild a team from the ground up. We still had some players here so stop that garbage. You act like no players were here and he started all over from scratch and that’s a lie.
Until will can find one that wins. Look, when my fridge is broke I fix it. If it keeps breaking down I am not giving it more than 4 years. I am buying a new one. If I make a good choice on a new one and stay away from the off brands I may have it around for a while. Instead of buying a Hotpoint I will buy a Samsung or Kenmore. They run better and have a HISTORY of lasting longer and doing a better job.
There are around 78 players that are 3 star and better in that state. We average around 12-15 that are 3 star and above. You are wrong. It is a Hotbed of recruits in AL. Usually, when people refer to the Hotbed they are talking about the kids in their state. Texas is not our Hotbed. Nor is Louisiana. If you use your post as fact then you would also have to list all the schools in that state we are competing against to get those athletes. I do agree that we can do better. CBP proved that. The Big 12 is deflating because they don’t have revenue sharing. That’s not a good fit for the Hogs at all.
