In three years he's only 18-20 Overall & 7-17 in conference with a loss to Toledo. It's doesn't look like he's lived up to expectations to me. If y'all have a bad year like 5-7 or 4-8 could he get canned?

These 9 teams are half of his total wins at Arkansas

Lafayette
Samford
Southern Miss
Nicholls
Nothern Illinois
UAB
UTEP
UT Martin

Bielema vs the West

Alabama 0-3
Texas A&M 0-3
Mississippi State 0-3
Auburn 1-2 ( A four OT win)
OM 2-1 ( 4th & 25 miracle)
LSU 2-1

I think Arkansas is happy with 7-5 and 8-4 seasons so he should be fine for the foreseeable future.

You ever heard of John L. Smith?

They lost a lot of talent last year. They won't admit it but it could be a really down year for them

Bielema is one of the best coaches in the sec so I'd say they're pretty happy with their situation

we also return essentially everyone on defense (#1 in the nation in returning tackles) and have a very good OC.

you should worry about Auburn not finishing last in the West again.

I'm very happy with him. Arkansas is not an easy job and when you fall down in this conference you get stomped on. We are almost back to being very good. Yes we were very good Petrino's last two years.

yes. he's improved every season he's been here

thankfully we're fans of a school not dumb enough to give an extension to a coach who's record has gotten progressively worse. man it would suck to be stuck with a coach like that.

I think he deserves a pass on Bama for obvious reasons. Interesting how he's beaten some really good Ole Miss and LSU teams, but has only one win against everyone else in the west (even excluding bama). I know that was just repeating facts.. but the conclusion I come to is Arkansas can compete with just about anybody. They haven't put it together for an entire season yet IMO

i have nothing against arkansas fans, but they sound painfully similar to longorn fans when talking about their coach/future.

I fully think bielema > strong but the results are strikingly similar.

You do understand that in Gus Malzahns first year at Auburn he did more than Arkansas has been able to do in 26 YEARS

No they're not "strikingly" similar

One has gotten better each season while the other one has not.

"strikingly"

Why are you rustled in your own thread?

Bielema is turning around the program. Players aren't getting arrested anymore (I think only like 3-4 in the past 2 years combined). Best GPA for Arkansas players ever. Increased win totals each year.

Listen. Arkansas is not Alabama, LSU, Auburn. We just don't get those recruits. Never have; never will. You have to base coaching on the relative talent they have/ able to get. Bielema is doing fine because he brings the total package (especially after Petrino/John L situation).

How many more years are you going to tout Gus's first season at Auburn? He has progressively gotten worse each season.

Gus is likely looking for a new job at the end of this season.

But thanks for bringing him into this conversation.

He was the same way at Wisconsin. He was terrible against good teams. 7-9 wins is a great season for Arkansas

And Gus has gotten worse every year since then.

I would be more worried if he came in last in his third season than worrying about what he did his first two with other coaches recruits
