Will 2Bs survive to see a team recruited by him? (A historical review)

As we all know, 2Bs had some extenuating circumstances last year involving some cosmic forces






There is no doubt though that Bret will bring the success he has at the dinner table to Arkansas with his recruits and time. I mean, the SECr seems to agree with him


The true question is, will Bret Bielema be given the time to have a team full of 2Bs recruits and win some games?


Since 1992, there have been 14 coaches who have gone winless in the SEC

Bill Curry- Kentucky
Rob Dowhower- Vandy
Woody Widenhofer- Vandy
Brad Scott- USCe
Lou Holtz- USCe
Hal Mumme- UK
Jackie Sherrill- MSU
Bobby Johnson - Vandy
Ed Orgeron- Ole Miss
Houston Nutt- Ole Miss
Joker Phillips- UK
Gene "National Championship" Chizik- AU
Bret Bielema
Mark Stoops



Of those 12 coaches, only 2 of them managed to make it more than 3 full seasons at the institution after going winless. Lou Holtz and BobbyJohnson. What is of note however is that both men inherited teams that were winless in the SEC the year before and one has a NC to his name.


Bret Bielema, is fighting against history to coach the Razorbacks as he would be the only coach since SEC expansion to be top Hog after both going winless in the SEC and not improving upon previous coach
