4. Arkansas: The Razorbacks stormed back from a 31-7 deficit on Saturday to top Ole Miss 38-37 on Saturday in Oxford for their first SEC win of the year. That was the good news. The bad news was that they were down 31-7 to a totally dysfunctional Rebel team that had quarterback Jordan Ta'amu making his first start. Describing the game as sloppy might be an insult to slop. That improved Bret Bielema to 11-26 in conference play since he took over prior to the 2013 season. That won't cut it at Arkansas, which is a program that at least expects to be relevant in the SEC West once every three or four years. With reports that his buyout might not be as high as initially reported, the question might not be cost. It's whether athletics director Jeff Long is the one to make the hire and if Arkansas wants to compete for coaches in a crowded market.

Jeff Long needs to act sooner rather than later. The carousel is already in motion. If he waits around we'll be left out in the cold and prolong the cellar dwelling for an even longer period of time.

Sec is full of crappy coaches and it is showing on the field. We will see an immediate upgrade in play with all the new coaches coming in. We will either join in or continue to wallow in or below mediocrity.

good time to be a good coach looking for a new gig

and an agent

can't wait to see the buyouts this new batch gets.

It's part of the extended genius of Saban.
He appears to maintain or even get better year after year after year, while the SEC carousal of coaching competition keeps reloading with fresh meat - new bucks desperate to prove themselves, and sometimes even his old coordinators promoted to HC and coming after him.

Jeff doesn't care about this athletic program. He's too busy making himself look good.

What would Jeff do if he had to go to a BCS bowl, oh wait fans know what he'd do
