Firing Bielema was just another bad decision in a long line of bad decisions going back to joining the SEC. Broyles’ ego tanked this program forever. I feel bad for anyone who still supports Arkansas football.

I still watch the games but I don’t get upset anymore, I just laugh.

Arkansas should have kept him for another year and maybe we can find out if Arkansas could go winless in the SEC again.

Firing Bert was never a bad decision

In Lunney's defense he was dropped into a no win situation having to finish Choad's run. He was a fantastic TE coach for us and he seems to be doing okay as an OC.

Bret was tied to Long. Boosters had to fire him when they took Long out.

I'm not defending Morris. The administration sucking hiring that loser doesn't mean Bert deserved to keep his job

That is what you get when you give a raise to a coach that had an average season.

Pittman leaving was the beginning of the end for Bert.

Then it showed cracks in the dam after losing to Missouri and Virginia Tech.

Then the dam busted open after getting blown out by TCU at home.

This is awkward. Uhm, they forced Long out a few weeks before Bert got fired. Hence the string of jokes about Julie Cromer being the angel of death waiting over Bert's shoulder the last few games... and she shite canned him right after the final game when he was walking back to the locker room.

Supposedly she wanted to hire Kiffin but the boosters had their hearts set on Gus Malzahn. When that fell through we got Choad Morris.

Deserved is a loaded word. It would have been smarter to keep him. Arkansas football fans are delusional though and thought they could do better.

Sam hit a higher ceiling than Bert in 2 years and has yet to match his floor. I don't get the sentiment.

By one game.

And he’s making 50% more than Bielema for the same results. Clown program.

No it wasn't. He was a stupid fat lazy alcoholic and his players knew it. He absolutely has not changed. Anyone who argues otherwise doesnt matter.

Sit this one out, dumbass.
