I'm happy so far.

I think if you dissect the losses there are 4-5 that easily could and probably should have been wins. Granted there is one win that could have been a loss...but since it was against Ole Miss...well..they are Ole Miss.

While the progress hasn't been sudden and dramatic, it does seem to be the type of progress that is sustainable and building. As Ole Miss implodes and LSU gets more of LESS I think that will help the hogs recruiting. There are serious connections being made into Looserana. There's a very real chance that Arkansas can emerge along with A&M as the next best choice behind Bama for recruits....and Nicky can't coach forever.

Another view is...what if he did leave...then what? You end up with some mickey mouse gimmicky coach coming out of a program like Arkansas State probably.

Bielema was not expected to maintain a program, he has to build one. I dont live in a microwave world where I expect him to do that overnight. His teams pass the eye test as far as performance goes and they have gotten better each year. He is building depth and a program that can be maintained. So yes I am happy with Bielema. If we get to a point where it seems as if we can only win 7-9 games per year then it may be time for him to go. His clock for me basically starts this year.

Yeah but a 4 OT game where the other team dropped 10 passes... there was never a chance Arkansas could've lost that. Ole Big Boy Bielema was in control the whole time,all part of his coaching master plan
