Bert got paid, but didn't help out his assistants.

He helped out the assistants he wanted to keep.

"We are very excited to extend Joel's contract and keep him here at Arkansas," Bielema said. "He is a passionate teacher on and off the field and has done an excellent job developing our talent at the running back position. Joel is a valuable asset to our program as we continue to take steps forward in pursuit of an SEC Championship."

Kind of strange, I thought we were going to get rid of him a few weeks ago, now he's heading to the NFL?
Good for Joel, I guess.

Why wouldn't you want to keep him? Weren't the RBs a pretty bright spot?

So you were both wrong? He paid his employee, but an NFL job seems like a step towards coordinator in his career.

All 3 backs were fumble prone and our #3 back got kicked off the team.

I think the rumor was that he was going to Illinois State. It was never confirmed why he was kicked off the team but supposedly it was multiple failed drug tests. He was suspended for most of the past season before finally being kicked off towards the end.
