And I don't care who he fires. I know we cant fire him but I'm done with him.

He's out of his depth and it's blatantly obvious.

Yeah. If we lost 28-24, and it was a close game where Allen missed a 4th down throw into the end zone, I would have still supported him. Considering how it happened, I'm going to now volunteer to work on fall Saturdays for the next two years.

I'm really close. I honestly didn't think there was any way I would get there this season. But I'm close to wiping my hands of him.

I was an OG Bieliemer who fully jumped off after the Auburn game.

My patience was already extremely thin after the Toledo and Texas Tech debacles last year.

I'm off as well.

Although I doubt we can do much better since our recruiting sucks so much. There's only a handful of coaches in the country who could bring big recruits here and those names are a pipe dream.

Yeah, I don't think we can do much better than Bert. So I dont know who. Sometimes it takes 67 or 8 years

Best way to compensate for lack of star recruits is someone who can develop, motivate and coach their arse off. Bert isn't that guy.

I vote that we try and lure PJ Fleck to come here.

I was all-in on his hire. I was so excited. The Auburn game broke me of having hope. The Missouri game flat-out set me against him. There's zero hope for Hog football under this guy, and this season should have proved that for 100% of all Razorback fans.

He got married and football's no longer priority #1. Bert's on autopilot from (t)here on out.

I was totally on board over the first 3 years, because I saw he had a plan, and could see progress towards it despite the first year record. Got a little better the second year, still seeing progress. Same the third year, being patient - we are headed there.

Then the wheels fell off this year.

Big step backwards.

I'm not totally off, but beginning to have some questions.

It will take a lot next year to totally get me back on.

At the moment, I have no reason to be optimistic or look forward to next season. I see no reasons why we will be better.

I'll give him next year to prove me wrong.

These types of blown leads are common with him. A&M a few times, Mizzou, VaTech, name a few more. All just bullshite, lazy coaching.

The fat frick can get gone.

Of course we can.

I think Bert's, at LEAST, done a good enough job that a new coach could come in and hit the ground running. Someone that knew what they were doing could squeeze at least 1-2 more wins out of this same team.

Who that person may be? I have no idea. But it's all about timing. Grab the up-and-comer flavor of the year and roll the dice, IMO. Give them 4-5 years. By then you'll know if they can do it or not. But someone with some momentum behind their name (not unlike Tom Hermann).

Oh, and can we rid our staff of super-fatties? There's undoubtedly bias against fat people (warranted or not). Middle aged obese coach? Dude could drop dead any minute. I wouldn't be surprised if that turns off some recruits and their parents.

Plus I'm tired of looking at his fat fricking face, mouth agape, perpetrating the stereotypical Arkansas image game, after game, after game.

Exactly. It's apparent that he sucks and can't get it done here. You don't keep him around because "who can we get better?" His record at any school in our division would get him fired. For instance, Houston Nutt at Ole Miss:

24-26 (10-22)

Look familiar?

You give somebody else a shot that you think might be able to get it done, and if they can't either then so be it.

The Auburn, LSU, Mizzou, and VT games have done it for me.

I've always supported all Razorback Sports Programs, players, and coaches and remained supportive of HDN long after most where calling for his head. Maybe my love for the Hogs blinds me from time to time to reality.

To quit the way this team did in the 4 games mentioned above is unacceptable. This mindset starts at the top and his big arse needs to be held accountable.

Bingo. We need an offensive or defensive guru that is primarily a developer for a head coach, not a just a motivator like Nutt, Bielema, or Miles. Examples of excellent developers: Chip Kelly, Mike Leach, Bobby Petrino, Chris Petersen.
