We are pretty patient compared to other fan bases, we gave f-in Houston Nutt 10 years.

We saw Petrino struggle his first 2 years then won 21 games over the next 2.

If Bert is still sucking after year 4 there will start to be rumbles.

I bet Auburn turns on Gus before we turn on Bert though....watch.

At what point this season will the hatred start? 0-2 start in the SEC? 0-3, 0-4? I personally think Bert will do fine this year but I am wondering when the melt would start
It started last season. He's not as popular in Arkansas as you think. It's not even so much that we were awful last year. A lot of people just don't seem to like him.

Bret's buyout almost ensures he'll get a third year... but if they struggle again, Jim Chaney should be fired... his play calling last year left a lot to be desired... he's an average at best OC.

This will sound like a joke, but it isnt. It is because he is a fat slob. Charlie weiss got hated on for it too. It is the same in the business world. In shape people are liked more and promoted more then fat people are

I could happen, but this is about as united the auburn fanbase has ever been... even more do than after 2010.

It would take another epic collapse.... and I don't think anyone expects that.

Let's consider the source here, but what does this thread have to do about Auburn or Gus Malzahn?

You're right, the thread title clearly said Arky fans.

Yet, here you are.

You guys were "All in" then immediately all out.

It will happen again.

Some Arkansas fans don't like Bert but those are the ones that don't understand the mess he inherited.

I don't see him being disliked as an issue.

Everyone hated Petrino, but he got some wins and then his record became more important than his personality.

I don't know why ppl are already convinced he's terrible. Petrino builds teams with no infrastructure, look at Louisville after he left.

If he goes 0-8 again, or only gets 6-7 wins in year 3, that's when the majority will have turned on him

PorkSammich, DaleDenton, Killean and Choctaw Hog love them some Gus Malzahn. Not really. In fact, it's the exact opposite.

4-8, 0-8 in the SEC and you think they will be ok?


Are you implying that Arky will have the same results this year as last?

I said in my post that they give him 3 years unless there is no improvement this year over last.

he (beav) did note that fat and restless leg syndrome go together- i personally knew of no connection betwixt the two.

If Malzahn wasn't coaching a conference rival I'd probably be happy for his sucess. He's an ex player at UA and made his way up through the ranks of Arkansas High School football to the highest level in college coaching. Pretty damn commendable.


That all being said I don't give him anymore thought than I do other SEC coaches. Sorry to burst your bubble beav.

Not disagreeing with you, but it's also because the football is bad, the recruiting is sub-par, and the mouth keeps spouting stupid stuff. What's to like?

This is one dumb statement. This is football not the the business world.
