Source inside the Administration and it's not good.

[Pigstie]

I have been told that CBB will be retained, UNLESS he were to choose to resign.  Will fire Anderson and Scott.  Possibly back to 4-3 next year.

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Who is this source?

[hoghearted]

That won't solve the problem.


I don't think I can take another year of BB. I'll find something else to do with my time.

[Danimal]

I bet he "chooses" to resign.

[jkstock04]

I heard the same couple weeks ago. As of now there are zero plans to fire Bielema.

[Pig in the Pokey]

horse darn , FAKE NEWS

[Bebop]

They are testing my loyalty if they keep Bielema. I have no confidence in him.

[checkraiser88]

Oh yeah zero chance he'll fire BB. Only the National and local media and over 90% of every fan of the hogs either want him gone or speculating on it but no he'll be back and switching back to the 4-3 will get us over the top.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Not a chance in Hell that they open the new stadium with Butters at the helm lmao. Wait to see how empty it is for Mizzou and Coastal Carolina games.

[Count Hogula]

Stay Puft is finished. Not a snowballs chance in hell he'll be back.

[Matt Burks]

That would just be kicking the can down the road IMO.

[KennyForAD]

This is BS.   Total BS.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Yeah I trust no one's sources. Jeff plays it close to the vest and no one knows how bad it will get.  Also Jeff has been very quiet the last few weeks. If he were hell bent on keeping Bert he'd be selling it as hard as he could. Silence or passive support leaves all his options open.

Not to mention former Razorback players of all ages calling for a change as well.

[Ham Sandwich]

This is totally illogical. We won't be keeping a coach that has failed this miserably for a 6th season.

[KennyForAD]

Trust me or not, that dude is full of it.   Jeff Long has been TOLD he must fire BB by the end of this season.

[PigPusher]

Well my source in high places says..............and that is the unvarnished truth. Darn, thought we were through with this source in high places thing when Nutt left. Guess not.

[Locutus_of_Boar]

Who is this source?

Jeff Long.  Of course there will be a resignation.  The team's one pro prospect going on injured reserve for the season finally warrants creating a distraction with a faux debate over CBB.  It might work a little better if CBB were bothering to pretend like he wanted to come back.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Trust me or not, that dude is full of it.   Jeff Long has been TOLD he must fire BB by the end of this season.

correct. Only reason he's getting an extension next month.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Oh I definitely believe the OP is full of it

[Michael_E_Davis]

'Butters?'  'Stay Puffed?'  Have some of you really sunk so low that you are acting like Kindergartners and name calling?  I certainly hope no possible recruits or coaches interested in the job read this forum.  Perhaps Arkansas doesn't deserve a good coach.

To be fair, there wasn't a whole lot of room to sink much lower for some. So the bottom dropped out pretty quick.

[MissippHog]

Well, he does have a Guy Fawkes mask as his avatar so he must know what he's talking about.

Sources are NEVER named on Hogville and even less likely to be correct.

[WaltonCollege]

Perhaps this

[jkstock04]

Agree with this. The whole sure thing "source" stuff on here is burned out. Just because you may hear something doesn't make it 100% true. Don't present it as such. Let it be known it's a rumor and why you believe it.

Something else to keep in mind...whatever is "popular theory" or narrative like on here is dead wrong at least 90% of the time. So it's fair to say, just because the masses on social media or a message board keep saying over and over that Bielema is done l...or for sure fired by X date doesn't necessarily make it so.

As of today there are no plans by the administration to fire Bret Bielema..that's my opinion based off what I was told. Being as that I don't think most of them really care that much about winning/losing I'm even more more inclined to believe this true.

I can believe, with a winning record still "possible" even if in that "you're saying there's a chance" Dumb and Dumber kind of way, that there are no "plans" to fire CBB.  However, as this festering pile of crap we are watching shudders toward a 3-9 to 5-7 finish, I can see "plans" start to pop up.  If we lose this coming weekend, all hope of a winning season is lost and, IF, Long keeps CBB, the fan base will turn on him, the BOT and everyone else since we would be back to the UofA PTB showing their total disdain for everyone.  Next year will be a ghost town and money that was ear marked for donations will stop.

[HognotinMemphis]

When your source is the sophomore working the ticket office, you are hard pressed to have much faith in reliability of that.

[BoynamedWooPigSooie]

Firing Scott would be a very Bert-like move. He's one of the assistants to be hyped about, he's an asset in recruiting. We really need to get into GA/AL/FL.

The guy to fire would be Hargreaves.  Total crap in his position and he put all his chickens into a LB that wanted to play RB and he was blindsided by the flip. Happened again w/ Wren.

Hargreaves often looks as clueless as Bert on the sidelines but then again maybe that's why Bret hired him. Big man's ego has done gotten tired of being upstaged by assistants leaving so he's getting old tired retreads that have never been a part of a successful football program or upstarts with no experience in the SEC.

[devildoghawg]

Why go back to the 4-3, the defense definitely is not the main issue with this team.

[Tusks]

Porkatarian help us !!

[1highhog]

Oh no!!!!  There will be the same ones on here saying that at peak attendance the crowd for both games will hit somewhere around around 69,000 to 70,000 for each game, all the while only about a 1,000 fans are in the upper decks and you could shoot a double barrel with bird shot from 70 yards out and still not hit anyone in a given section in the lower bowl.

[smb]

One time I hope its fake news!

[Torqued pork]

I could totally believe a couple of SEC wins would be all it would take for Bielema to be retained.

[MissippHog]

I could totally believe a couple of SEC wins would be all it would take for Bielema to be retained.

I could as well, but with the recent injuries to Ragnow and Hayden I'm not sure we will win a single SEC game.  Surely an 0-fer will get him his walking papers.

well, actually that's why Anderson didn't play a couple of the higher rated OL guys sooner from what I heard from someone who should know ( a players dad).  Because he got his feelings hurt when a couple guys made fun of his weight.  He is a big  bloated baby that should have been fired already.  He cant coach, his techniques suck!  Obviously he is a terrible motivator as well! He apparently had a personal agenda against a couple of guys.  And it will cost him his job as well as Bielema because of it.   It's Bielema's fault for hiring this worthless tub of lard in the first place, but, Anderson's fault for being a baby with a vendetta.

[Hawg414]

thats just part of the attack on WMS.  dont you know.. DWRRS always has 75,000 in it.  nevermind they count season ticket sales as part of the DWRRS game attendance.  i look around and see 52,000 people.  then i get on here and see it was a near sellout with 70,000+

[HogFoo]

There is really no way I can see Bielema being kept from what I've heard.  There aren't enough wins left!  Even tho ole miss QB is down, you watch, they'll find some true frosh who has a career day against the Hogs.  Miss st. Is better coaches than we are, they too will win.  Lsu, still has better talent than us, and as bad as is, they are still better coaches than us. Haha and that's saying a LOT! Guice will year is a new one!  We'll probably beat UCC.  But watch last place miss and that ahole of a linebacker that was talking BS about us last season and during preseason.  Mizz offense will score a ton on our defense. Seriously we may not win a conf. Game at all!  And that is just unacceptable!

[Pork Twain]

Go open a new bag of Cheetos.

HiM has crapped out more hog knowledge than most on here have accumulated.

I got news for you, Butters isn't a good coach.

[AirWarren]

Sources are NEVER named on Hogville and even less likely to be correct.

Yep.

[duckman]

All I have to see is this to know he is gone....

If not, Long is gone too.

This isn't rocket science, it is about the money.

The attending crowd at the start of the game this part weekend was closer to the 70,000+ than the 52,000. I was actually surprised it was as well attended as it was.

Yeah, This isn't a bastion of higher thinking folks. Well it is in ONE sense..

[The OTR]

Here we go...I may have missed a few things as I wasn't here Saturday due to my boycott (and I will say this is something I regret now as so many fans followed my lead and cleared out the stadium in the second half - not taking full credit but 2 and 2 makes 4 - next time I'll keep my big mouth shut). 

To my knowledge this is the first I've got a source thread.  I'd say we'll see more and more of these as the season goes forward.  It's simply too tempting to not throw something like this up here.  As the poor and homeless beg for crumbs outside the city walls there are going to be those cruel folks who pretend to have a loaf of bread and from a distance the beggars can't see that the loaf is just a big rock.  They clamor for just a taste...maybe this is their savior....some scoff and say no, this is just another one...he won't be our savior...yet they stick around...just in case it is real....but it isn't...and soon another will go to another part of the wall and do the same...and we beggars will rush over there hoping that maybe this time it is real....and we will once again be left hungry. 

The only person with bread for the beggars is Jeff Long.  And he is in the castle...aloof....our cries do not affect him...in fact he can't hear them and if he did he doesn't care...he has the answers and he's not talking. He and only he knows what will happen and he has no plans to let any of us know anything until he's ready....and he doesn't care if his answer pleases the masses or not...as long as it pleases him that is all that matters.

In the meantime along the wall the nonsense will continue...this is the first of many...I look forward to seeing all of you beg for crumbs from those that have no more bread than you in the coming weeks. 

[riccoar]

I think it's fluid at this juncture.  A loss at Ole Miss sets us for zero failure the rest of the way to reach .500.  Once LSU is over we will have our answer on our record.  I think a loss in both of those means a 3 win season.  It would be beyond anything believable to the naked eye if he were retained in year 5 with only 3 wins.
