I suspect we're past that tipping point. The pattern is pretty clear.

Lotsa talk and bluster, then on the field teams get whipped physically.

Name the last team Arkansas pushed around and imposed our will upon? Now name the last team that did so to us. (Hint: whomever we played last week).

Even when we play the patsies...we don't push them around and run the football like 'big boys'.

Being competitive, playing so called big boy football and not looking like a team with a lazy coaching staff is a start. Even Bama doesn't win them all, but you'll never see them come out and let a smaller team push them around. I guess I gave up after Auburn and 56-3. Do people realize how bad that actually is? If Nutt had been slaughtered like that banners would fill the sky.

Only wagon following Bert around is the chuckwagon.

I'm off for good. I'll still support the players, but not Bert. In his 5th year and this is what he's produced for us. This is who he is.

For Arkansas to be competitive in every game they play.

I'm indifferent to who the coach is at this point. I've supported coach B and will continue to do so.... but maybe spend less time on your reality show and more time preparing your team for battle. Year 5 should be better than what we are getting.
Just show us improvement. Show us that your last name doesn't automatically make you a starter. AA needs to be benched if he's going to ignore his reads and lock in to one guy. That should be the case at every position but it's obvious who his "guys" are and I think that it has a negative effect on team chemistry.

Yeah do you think bielama would ever have the balls to do what mike leach did last week? His team was getting their arse handed to them by house so I'm the 4th q he benches the schools all time passing yards leader and the backup brings them back form 3 tds ties it up then they win in triple overtime

He never will. If Austin continues to be out of sync, there's no way he has the balls to give Cole Kelley a chance. He's all in on another Allen and has hitched his ride to him, just like Captain Integrity has hitched his ride and is all in on Fat arse.

The most fun to watch thing in the past 2 games was when the other qb was in there. And I don't mean that to dog Austin but that big thing was just entertaining and if we're gonna suck anyway, there might as well be something entertaining about it.

In regards to the op, there's been a lot of good answers in this thread- I just don't know that he can, I have zero faith that he will.

Which is, I fear, the real answer.

We've lost faith in Bert turning things around.

His players evidently still love him, Jeff Long
still seems to be fond of him, but the fan base seems to be mostly disappointed in him.

Unless he starts winning folks are going to start voting with their feet and attendance is going to drop like a rock.

Yep.

I'll still "support" Bielema because he's the football coach of this program and he's not going anywhere for the time being, but I've long since lost any faith that he'll ever win shite here. He's the epitome of an empty calories (no pun intended) coach - beats up on cupcakes, gets whipped by decent competition.

He's practically set a precedent for losing, and his tenure here has been marked by failure, and its been overall a pretty bad stretch for Arkansas football. That much is inarguable.

Literally nothing short of an SEC Championship could convince me that he's worth continuing on in his current role.

This was the most disingenuous part of Bielema's idiotic shtick this past week. He spent the past 4.5 years (specifically the first 6 months of his tenure) living on social media, engaging in childish twitter wars with Wisconsin fans, and resorting to bush league social media theatrics beneath the charge of an SEC football coach. To suggest that he doesn't use or read social media is laughable at best, and an outright lie at worst.
