Did you not notice the dumpster fire that was left after Petrino?

No way was he going to keep us a Top 10 team or get anywhere close to beating Bama. Petrino had a soft pussy-arse finesse team.

Bama is the benchmark, like it or not, and Bert's had them beat until the gritty end the last 2 years.

Arrests have basically come to an end, the team GPA is up, the APR is up, attrition is now players leaving early rather than flunking out or transferring due to arrests or character issues. Bert's kicked kids off the team for stuff Freeze, Gus, or Saban wouldn't even address or make players run laps for.

Accountability is high, depth is building with good kids, the walk-on program is a high value thing now and they're having to be selective w/ walk-ons now.

The assistant coaches Bert brings in leave in for HC jobs or the NFL.

There's a great vibe around the program where BP was a miserable frick who was narcisstic and mean to anyone and everyone.

You described the guy to a tee who runs the benchmark you mentioned.

LOL, what?

In 2014 Arkansas was winning 13-7 until 12.5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. They never led again.

In 2015 Arkansas was winning 7-3 until 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Arkansas then went down 10 with 13 minutes left, 13 with 10 minutes left and 20 with 3 minutes left.

Hardly "had them beat until the end" there. 2014 was a close game. 2015 was close for 3 quarters. In neither game did Arkansas ever hold a lead in the last 10 minutes of the game.
