Bret Bielema hasn't even sniffed an appearance


Hard to do with BAMA in the SEC West

6 wins will keep him his job the next two years

anything better and he is a hero

If he continues to beat LSU this only helps

If he loses to LSU, BAMA and Ole Miss the next two years then they may call his card

I think the Hogs win 8 games this year easy and will win the SEC West in the next 3 years. Bielema is a very good coach and recruiting is improving every year.

That has to be joke right? Your fan base has been blaming that ex NFL Head coach for them sucking lately because he couldn't recruit but then you turn around and brag about hiring him. Arkansas was able to hire Petrino for the same reason they lost him , he is a dirt bag and can't be trusted. The coach you hired from the big 10 is taking the SEC by storm and needs a contract extension . :rotflmao:

I love how the Arkansas fans immediately deflect to attacking Auburn. What exactly does Auburn have to do with the OP?

We caused Holtz to quit the Jets mid-season to take our job.

Fact is there are only a few coaches at few jobs who Arkansas is not able to hire in any given year.

I know, Auburn would resort to hiring a coach with a losing record or a coach with one year of HC experience


Are you referring to 2 Auburn coaches that have National and SEC Championship Rings? Lol

Prove it. Otherwise, you come across like a jilted ex-girlfriend. Just because Arkansas didn't hire Gus like you wanted and you had to endure watching him win the SEC the following season, while Bret led the hogs to zero SEC wins the same year, doesn't mean you can just make things up to make yourself feel better about it.

Downvote me all you want but don't act like Gus didn't have many, many reasons to come back to AU. His recruits, familiarity with the program, and the potential of winning big probably had something to do with it.

The biggest reason was his lack of offer from his dream job.

Arkansas gets all of these "awesome" coaches, yet can't even manage an SEC Championship. What does that tell you?

Sorry, I should've clarified that I meant the Arkansas fans on the Rant that take any opportunity given to take a shot at Gus and/or Auburn.

Pretty good commentary on the programs as a whole. Of our last 4 coaches to take our teams to either undefeated seasons or to the NC, Tuberville is the only one who garners any kind of respect in these parts.

Ask Gus.

Ask any one of his family members.

It isn't a secret he didn't receive an offer from the job he wanted most before settling for Auburn.

What is suppose to be the secret is jobs who have already expressed interest in him after this season, which could be a blessing in disguise for Auburn as his buy out will free up enough cash for Auburn's next underwhelming hire.

Auburn's next underwhelming hire.

Pat Dye: 4 SEC Championships, 5 AP Top 10 finishes, Heisman Trophy winner
Terry Bowden: 2 AP Top 10 finishes, 1 undefeated season, 1 SECCG appearance
Tommy Tuberville: 1 SEC Championship, 2 AP Top 10 finishes, 1 undefeated season, 2 SECCG appearances
Gene Chizik: 1 BCS Championship, 1 SEC Championship, 1 undefeated season, 1 SECCG appearance, Heisman Trophy winner
Gus Malzahn: 1 BCS Championship appearance, 1 SEC Championship, 1 AP Top 10 finish

When will an Arky HC hire be that "underwhelming"?

We know how yall feel about Bert. He'll be there as long as he wants, no matter what his record.

As long as he keeps beating LSU & Ole Miss every year, he will be fine.

Gus' record at AU: 27-13
Bret' record at Arkansas:18-20

If you're wondering why Gus has coached more games, it's because we've actually played for and won a Championship in that time frame.

Link?

I recall the MNC game ending very differently for Auburn against FSU.

But enjoy the past, its all you have.

So you're saying he's 15-11 since that season? Didn't realize that but thanks for sharing.
