Which truthfully is unimpressive.

Fire him or fire multi others- just start burning.

I don't think he does, personally. He builds tough, grinding teams that make you work for the win (usually, anyway.) His problem really is talent. Arkansas is not a hotbed of D1 talent, and they're surrounded by programs that recruit well. I hate to say this, because I think Bret is better, but Petrino might have been the best fit for them because his offenses require a lot less talent to run. The less said about his defenses, the better, because he gutted Arkansas' defensive talent pool, but that's the trade-off.

The problem with Bert is that he tends to be a very complacent coach. We win great. We lose he starts coaching. Then he takes the next week off.

Bert does not seem to have the drive to win in the SEC.

He bitches about HUNU and player safety yet he gets his own players killed because he uses them like pack mules. He is a bitch and an anchor around the neck of the program.

Perhaps, though it seems a bit too much armchair psychiatry for my tastes. How would this manifest? Not strategizing in the week prior? Not bothering to adjust during games? Playing Candy Crush while the players wait for the inspirational speech? Complacency is a real issue in the long-term, obviously. I'd just have to have some solid examples of how it manifests week-to-week.

I honestly think it's because he is extremely likable in that he is very genuine and speaks directly. Kind of a Trump effect on them. He resembles your typical Arky fan in that he's a fat white stubborn but kind of likable guy.

It manifest like most long term disaster manifest. Through the slow, but certain accretion of poor decisions.

No, I understand the show x to prove y that you are asking. But it isn't a show x to prove y sort of a situation.

Its more Chaos theory at work. A small but uncorrected flaw enters the program and slowly, but very surely throws all further calculations off.

Arkansas thumps Florida. Florida thumps Mizzou. Mizzou beats Arkansas.

You are looking for one specific data point but it isn't one specific point. Its a whole cloud of shifting answers that change from week to week and only have Arkansas under achieving as the end result.

1 plus 1 does not equal 2 with Bert.

He runs his mouth incessantly and has yet to back it up.

Bert looks like he is always coming off a three day bender, he stunt doubles for the kool aid man and his wife's cooter gave our defense the zeka virus

They have been bragging about how great he is for years and claiming that he is getting better every year. Next year should be his year , now that he will be with out the previous staffs players which were the strength of the team this year . Bert is an average coach who got lucky at Wisconson taking over a program that was already built , he got an NFL talented grant QB to transfer there and have other teams in the conference on probation helping him win his division.
