It's overblown. Bielema averaged a top 25 class, we just hired a high school coach who's in way over his head.

Delusional. We beat Coastal Carolina in their first year as a Division I football program with an interim head coach by one point in year 5 of Bert. Coastal Carolina went 3-9 (2-6) in the Sun Belt that year.


But yeah, his team had talent.

This is wrong think.

Bert had decent class ranking due to his overrated reputation. His classes had no coherent final purpose. If he wanted a power, 3 yards and a cloud of dust team, then do it. He wanted it but didn't recruit for it.

Bert was way over his head from day one.

Wait. Are you actually defending Bert's record and management of the program?

Half of the people on this message board would have caused less damage to the program.

You and I must have watched 2 different Arky teams last year, the one I saw was the weakest in the trenches SEC team I have ever seen and that is saying something coming from a lifelong State fan.

If Arky could hire Saban they still would not be able to compete in the SEC for at least 2 years.

Unfortunately for Arky big uglies are something they do not produce in state so how they chose to resolve this will be interesting.
