re: I've figured out why I like Bert talking even when taking beatings

What AD is going to want to come to Arkansas to get thrown out 2 years after being AD of the year?

Occam's Razor isn't always right. He'll stay here until his buyout goes down to 7 mil unless long is canned. It's hard to put future effects on a resume. If long cans BB he has to stay until the ship is righted. If long doesn't he is still free to leave bc the money adds up. he wont be able to advance to another program or industry until the balance sheets check out. I don't think he's willing to gamble his career on another football coach until the money makes sense.

I understand the probable losses if BB sucks it up the rest of the year and next year, but a new coach having success isn't guaranteed.

It's something that has to be waited out money wise, like it or not. If Arkansas had just won a NC 2 years ago it could be understandable, but there isn't momentum in the football program to risk trying a new coach next year.

A new contract with another failed coach would set Arkansas back to tennessee levels of money.

eta: i fully support firing bielema and staff, I just don't think Long will want to do it until the buyout goes down.

Nice strawman argument.

No it's the figure head of Arkansas football. It's a matter of tolerance. Yea if BB wins I'll tolerate the shite talking but I won't condone it. If he is a loser my tolerance will fade.

BB could have said (in respect to the Ohio st ooc comment) his team and the sec schedule harder teams more regularly than other schools. No reason to single out another school when plenty of schools do this.

Yes I believe in being yourself and free speech but don't be a douchebag about it. A little more thought could have changed the media's perception.

Bielema speaks his mind. Refreshing as it is, sometimes his mouth can get him into trouble.

However, Bielema speaks his mind and I have no problem with that. What he had to say today in response to Kliffy was well spoken and on point.

I agree with Hawgfaninc, if Bielema keeps losing he will be gone sooner rather than later.

Kingsbury is in his 3rd year.

Well, I actually think that the negative part of his personality (Crap Talking) is what has brought good press along with the bad.

The recruits seem to love him period.

I have had several conversations with folks who think he sells this program and this university every single day. Perception can hurt, but it will be amazing when it gets turned around, if it does.

If it doesn't, well... it was a show while it lasted.

This is true. He would be a monster if he could win a nc.

Instead of Sabah bitching out the media for concluding lesser opponents, BB would be lambasting sec foes for even showing up.

It's a pipe dream but it's possible. Still wish he could wait until Arkansas dominates to call out reigning ncs.

I'm breaking out the pitch forks.

What the frick? What's the fun part of playing shite football, losing to Toledo and TT in year 3 at home, and being a total laughing stock? I don't know about you, but that's not fun to me. Fun to me is winning football games, and having a respectable coach that doesn't make an arse of himself.

See, here's the deal man. We cant make a difference in the outcome of our crappy season either way, but melting down on the rant plays into the hands of our beloved "Crappy SEC,SEC," grouping. Not for me. So, speak up CBB, tell us what your going to do! And if you don't, you are gone either way. At least the show is there if nothing else.

IDC what the mans says... I do want much better results, but while we are waiting don't be a shrinking violet...
