Both took over from dreadful coaches and had quick turnarounds





I think Pittman had more success as an assistant

Bielema. I think he is actually a good HC

Pittman is a good assistant who should never have been HC

Yep, his alcoholism and trying to "out Bama Bama" was his undoing at Arkansas.

He had pretty good offenses and the running game was his strength. That wasn't a problem.

It wasn't just alcoholism but he quit recruiting and took trips to Vegas which led Pittman to leave.

He had potential but he was lazy.

Bert severely underestimated the SEC and bragged that he had more success in the Big 10 than Saban.

He didn't take any responsibility at Arkansas and had the nerve to tell everyone that he will leave Arkansas better than he found it after he was fired.

Both of those obese losers were perfect for that low IQ and backwards hill tribe of idiots.

Bert's biggest flaw is what doomed him. He was a drunk and needed to dry out before he could get better. Getting fired at Arkansas allowed him to do that.

Pittman's biggest flaw is that he wasn't a HC. To his credit he built a competitive team but he was dependent on his coordinators. When you select a high risk/high reward coordinator like Petrino you open yourself up to situations where the risk beats the rewards.

Pittman was a perfectly fine emergency hire until he overstayed his welcome. Bert would have been a solid hire if he had not developed a drinking problem.

Combined with disaster hires like poor John L. Smith and the disastrous Chad Morris you have a lost generation of Arkansas football.
