I remember when this place was so pumped at him getting hired at Arkansas, talking about how great it was.

I love hot takes from tRant.

That 2015 team had a lot of good players that are still in the NFL. He lost to Toledo and Tech but beat LSU and Ole Miss? Something is wrong with that scenario.

I didn't want him. I wanted Gundy or Peterson but eventually warmed up to the hire. But after the 0-8 in the SEC his first year, it was just a matter of time before he got canned.

Not If the players aren't doing their job and they aren't winning games.

Yeah, Bert was a retard. The Bert/Butthead meme was perfect for him.

He wasn't wrong, though.

He did this at Arkansas too. I think the quote was "After the last guy [Petrino] who was here, I'd have expected more playmakers on offense"

Details are wrong but I captured the spirit of it.

Kliff, Mahomes and Bielema’s trajectories have gone in vastly different directions since that game

Even if true you can't say that shite unless you want a mutiny on your hands a la Chad Morris.

Petrino did leave him talent on both sides of the ball but shite the bed every year that he was here.

That is an insult. The players may not be any good but they are still individuals who need something besides being put down.

A stark contrast to Sam who doesn't make excuses, throw players under the bus and isn't a lazy son of a bitch like Bert.

Man that was terrible.

Brett stood up and spoke at the coach’s convention and said Arkansas will line up with a fullback and kick your arse. Then Kingsbury and Tech, a notoriously soft defensive team, beat their arse a few months later.

Drink would have chad morris results this year if he played in the west. Vandy is his best shot to keep from going winless in conference and that's not a given. Their fans seem to be unhappy with their qb now after he did well last year, is he regressing?

Many of us couldn't see the dumpster fire that morris was and wanted to give him time, but after the non conference embarassments it was clear he couldn't cut it.


Oh well, time will tell.
