Offensive scheme that can't keep up, and lack of talent recruited at key positions.

Refused to get SEC speed.
Refused to make adjustments ever.
Tried to play smash mouth football with bigger slower Midwest recruits instead of going to Texas and other SEC areas like we mostly always have.

I see you mentioned the O line trouble as being the key piece here, but I was always under the impression he was a pretty good OC. I don't follow the Hogs as closely as LSU, so maybe that has changed


He had slow Midwest players and Enos had to game plan for large, strong and slow over big, athletic and quick. He didn't really stand a chance. Bad situation for him.

Are there are any rumors pertaining to Enos? Any potential landing spots?

Nothing that I've heard.

Have any of you Ark posters thought that maybe is wasn’t fat Bert’s fault?

Arkansas is a historically mediocre program, and really has never done anything of note. Did you really expect fat Bert to do anything more than he did? Set some realistic expectations and maybe your next coach won’t shite then bed and then proceed to eat it.

This is our worst stretch since the 1940's so...yeah. Even Nutt won at least 8 games in 6/10 years and went to Atlanta twice. Petrino had us finishing top 5 in the country. Bielema hasn't come anywhere close to that.

He came in and built some momentum with his big, physical brand of the power run game and he gradually got further and further away from that. The last couple years Arky has been much more of a passing team and Bert did that to try and attract some skill guys with speed. IMO he should have doubled down on his old school Wisconsin offense and he would have gotten the hogs on the OL he needed to sustain a team that would have been competitive. His overall team speed on defense was always really bad from what I could tell. I don't buy the idea that Arkansas can't get speed players. Maybe not the type players that Bama, UGA, AU, OSU, UF can get but they border Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. There are plenty of guys that can run that would due to play for Arkansas. Just got to have a coach that can develop the player.

Rumor around town is that he has a massive drinking problem which has gotten worse over the years. Look at him on the sidelines, he basically has that look of wanting to get to half time so he can hit the bottle to get him through the second half.

Such a dumb argument. We had the S&P #1 offense in 2015. Our issues are with recruiting, especially on the OL.
