Johnelle (4-8, 2-6)
Jacksonville State - W
ULM- L(ol)
Bama - L
Rutgers - L
Ags- L
Auburn - W
UK - W
OM- L
Tulsa - W

Looking at raw numbers it has to be John but I don't follow the program as closely as y'all of course.

John L Smith had an NFL QB, NFL WR, NFL TE and 3 NFL RBs to work with.

That's debatable

Bielema. Significantly harder schedule than last year with a lot less talent and he managed to beat the University of Louisiana as opposed to John L losing to the Louisiana directional school.

Just when you thought the Arky dumpster fire couldn't be raging any more, Bret comes along and throws jet fuel on it and burns the hair off his bacon filled back.

Agreed. I was surprised to see they won 2 conference games last year. They were a couple close losses away from being bowl eligible

He was also able to win games like the one vs Tulsa who won a bowl game last year. They are pretty comparable seasons

i doubt our season has been anymore disappointing for us than yours has been for you. we weren't expecting much given the new system, etc- were you?
tons of hubbub over what amounts to an also ran for the heisman and a nonexistent defense.

This question doesn't get smarter the more times its asked.
John L was handed a contender and destroyed it. The best players off that team are not on Bielema's roster, they are in the NFL.

What is debatable about that statement? Those positions did have Nfl players there last year.

Wilson never played a down in the NFL, and I would say you have 3 NFL RBs and an NFL TE on your roster right now. The talent difference isn't as big as you are making it out to be

JL could beat AU...BB couldn't. JL is obviously beter.

He was 1st team all-SEC the prior season then, we'll go that route. An NFL practice squad player is still much better than Brandon Allen

Two of those are freshmen. The ones JLS had were seniors who had been through an SEC schedule before. Plus you're counting Small who is a FB

Don't worry we'll all be debating how shitty your first year coach is next year.
Whoever takes over for Sumlin will be getting their arse whooped in 2014.

Since you won't answer the question in the OP, do you think Chad Morris gets his first SEC win vs Arky like Sumlin did? I say yes

Poor A&M fans these days. Such hope just a few months ago, to this.
Almost sad.
U want a hug bro? Let's just hug it out.
