$3.2 million to a guy that went to three BCS games?

That's less than we were paying Petrino.

If he goes 1-7 in SEC play this year, do they look else where? Curious to hear an Arkansas fan perspective.

I don't think Arky fans are delusional. They are very willing to admit that their team is going through hard times. The only thing I would say they are a bit delusional towards is Bielema. Face it, Hog fans, he's not an elite coach and will make Arkansas a middle of the pack SEC team at best, and that's not till next year.

Just because you get to a BCS game in a weak conference doesn't mean you are good or worth alot of money. Losing the BCS games is just more proof that his teams (the job he done) was overrated.

No. He gets three years at minimum. I don't think anyone in their right mind thought this would be a quick fix.

Personally, to maintain my support, I would expect 5 to 6 wins this year, 7-8 next year and then 8+ each season moving forward.

If you play in a weak conference or a schedule that has very few quality teams on it they would. I don't think you can classify a coach as great just because they got to BCS games like Bert did. Especially if they lost all of them.

2010 He only played 3 teams that finished ranked and he went (1-2) against them, including a loss to TCU in the BCS.

2011 He lost to an unranked team. He played 4 games against teams that finished ranked, 2 being against MSU and went (2-2), including a loss to Oregon in the BCS.

2012 He lost to 3 unranked teams. He played 4 games against teams that finished ranked and went (1-3), including a loss to Stanford in the BCS. He got there by going 8-5.

I don't think he is shitty. I think you Arkansas fans tremendously overrate him. This isn't the Big 10 where there are several good teams and several good coaches. A Vandy can beat you if you don't show up ready to play in this league. Our league has quality HC's and assistants from top to bottom. I think he is in over his head.

Saban was a terrible coach when he got hired by LSU, then.

Urban Meyer won a BCS bowl at Utah, guess he sucked too.

I think BB is a solid coach, but did a poor job.

Arkansas fans are content with a coach who just went 0-8 and, if their predictions on this board are any indication, will be content with a 6-6 type season this year with a couple conference wins. The problem is that the argument can be that Arkansas is so terrible, that even hoping for that is delusional.

So no, Arkansas don't appear to have high expectations. They appear to moderate to low expectations that are likely unattainable in the immediate future.



If we're realistic we have low xpectations. If we're unrealistic we're dlutional. You can't win with you frickers

I never said any of those were bad coaches. I said BB isn't as great as he is being hype up to be by Arky fans. You can't label a coach as great just because they got to BCS games without looking at how they got there and what happened when they did.
