Great info. So in order:
1) Saban- 80.0%
2) Miles- 66.67%
3) Freeze- 54.16%
4) Sumlin- 50.00%
5) Malzahn- 50.00%
6) Mullen- 33.33%
7) Bielama- 27.77%
So can someone tell me why Bielama gets so much credit? It's not like Petrino left the cupboard bare.

Maybe not in 2012, but after John L. Smith almost every impact player left and there was no one behind them. Bielema had to start two true freshman on the OL and had the worst WR talent to work with in the SEC. Since we didn't have a capable backup QB, Brandon Allen had to play all year with a separated shoulder in 2013.

You're skipping the entire SMILE fiasco. Arky fans would like to forget it as well, but it happened. That disaster combined with Petrino's ride pretty much cost them two recruiting cycles.

He kind of did. The Petrino exit / John L Smith year set Arkansas back a couple of years. Plus, Bielema and Petrino ran two pretty different systems. Bielema's SEC records:
0-8
2-6
5-3
I think he is getting credit for at least moving in the right direction compared to some others.
