I was honestly convinced when Bielema was hired that they were among the best. It has to be seen as a disappointment.


What has bielema done that shows he has been such a disappointment. He has slowly improved our win total every year. I'm not saying he is even a top coach in the SEC, just don't see what he has done that has been a disappointment to this point.

He's 7-17 in SEC. He still loses games he shouldn't. He's hasn't recruited as well as I would have thought.

I think the best way to rank coaching Staffs is to ask who would we trade our coach straight up for.


In football, the only coach in the SEC we'd trade Bielema for is Saban.

In baseball, I don't know that there's anyone currently coaching in the SEC we'd trade van Horn for.

In basketball, Many fans would trade Anderson straight up for Calipari, but not all of us, since he leads all coaches in Final 4's vacated and would probably get our basketball program the death penalty. Otherwise, the SEC basketball coaching landscape is bad. We'll fire Anderson next season for not making the tournament and hire someone better.


So, overall I'd say we're not happy with Anderson and think we can do a lot better. Van Horn we're happy with, I mean seriously folks :) Bielema, he's on an upward trajectory and if he can maintain, it will work out fine. I think we're expecting 6 to 8 regular season wins this next year, potentially more if the defense gets sorted out and our QB play is solid... and all of our running backs don't end up hurt.
