The Mt. Rushmore as it would... and this is just my opinion...

John C. Futrall. Our first football coach who is better known for being one of the first great scholars on campus. He died in a car accident at too early an age. He's the first. He gets up there for that. He also had a solid winning percentage but it was way back when.

Frank Broyles. Bill Clinton once said he was the most powerful man in Arkansas... and that was when Bill was the governor of the state. Broyles was an innovator and produced a disputed national title for Arkansas (Bama won the title that year but lost to a team we beat and we were undefeated.) The formation of the modern SEC owes itself to Broyles realizing that either Arkansas or Texas was going to bolt the SWC.

Lou Holtz. Holtz had a great run at Arkansas before... well... It is Lou Holtz. He and Broyles (now the AD) despised one another or who knows what he might have done at Arkansas?

The last pick is bit controversial but I say Ken Hatfield. Hatfield had a great winning % and won a couple of SWC titles for Arkansas. But... play along, you know the song, Broyles despised him.

If you count the assistants on the Arkansas staff. Well the Baby Jesus cries at the coaches that wanted to come back to Arkansas but we drove off. Switzer, Pete Carroll,and more.

So... Broyles is our best coach but he fricked over coaches in basketball and football that could have been amazing at Arkansas. Bielema probably falls somewhere around Houston Nutt status.

Nutt won a few SEC West titles but when you look at the talent that came through Arkansas during his years... I have not had enough to drink discuss those years.

If he "starts" losing to Auburn? Bert is 1-2 against Auburn with the lone win coming in 4 overtimes at home. Losing to Auburn will be nothing new for Bert.




Kyle! I was getting worried something had happened to you.

Jesus dude, don't do this to us. We expect you to troll Arkansas four or five times a week. I was about to ask WG or one of the other Georgia posters about you.

If you are going through some personal issues at the moment let us know and we can feed you some threads to snark off about us.

Even the tools at piggyville are turning on him. The fools that talked about how great he was and his fantastic coaches that leave every year showed how much they know. We can't put Bama. We need a petrino type offense that puts up points. Bert will be gone after next year and we can listen to the idiots explain what went wrong. As usual most will remain uneducated about football that isn't on a video game.

So everyone else gets credit for injuries or for 'being beat' at the time we won the game.


No one is saying that Arkansas doesn't get credit for those wins. But if Arkansas fans were a bit more measured about those wins, they wouldn't have gotten their hopes up to an irrational level. Every win or loss has to be put into perspective. Anyone outside of Fayetteville would have told you that the 2014 Ole Miss team at the end of the season was not the same team as the one at the beginning of the year. Again, you get all the credit in the world for the win. But for your own sake, you shouldn't take that win to the bank as proof that Bert is building a dynasty.

Quite frankly, Bert has never really been competitive against very strong teams. In his first 3 seasons, Arkansas is 1-6 against teams that finished in the Top 10... with the lone win coming against an Ole Miss team in OT due to a 4th and 25 miracle. The average score for Arkansas under Bert against teams that finish in the Top 10 has been Arkansas 19, Opponent 40.

Bert has averaged losing by 3 touchdowns each time he faces a very quality team that is good enough to finish in the Top 10. Now in Year 4, Bert has faced two additional opponents that look very capable of finishing in the Top 10. What has been the average score of those two games (against Bama and TAMU)?.... Arkansas 27, Opponent 47.

Arkansas is still roughly 3 touchdowns behind the strongest teams in the league.

This truth has been standing in plain sight throughout Bert's tenure, but Arkansas fans have not wanted to embrace the obvious.

He's fat and sucks at recruiting.

But I knew it was all over on April 1, 2012.

All I see on the sideline when he's standing there is a massive fat pig that might as well have his face painted like that dude that got caught all over ESPN.
