[forrest city joe]

Getting blown out and embarrassed every week is not fun for the players,fans or anyone.yet you folks have let this disgrace go on the last 2 years.i would fire coach B tonight if i had any say.we are getting destroyed in almost every game we play against power 5 teams over the last 2 years. it is unreal what is being accepted by the people in charge.it's flat out sickening!

[rhames]

He is going to finish the season.

[Beaverfever]

He is going to finish the season.

This.  He's obviously going to be fired at the end of the year so I'm not going to get too worked up. 

[Ragnar Hogbrok]

This.  He's obviously going to be fired at the end of the year so I'm not going to get too worked up. 

Yep.

[forrest city joe]

He is going to finish the season.

He would not if i had any say. i would fire him tonight! he does not deserve to finish the season. he flat out sucks as our head coach.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Come out and make a statement saying he's done at the end of the year if that's the case. Give fans a reason to show up these last two weeks and cheer the kids on.

[Westcoasthog]

AMEN BIELEMA IS DONE!

[rhames]

He would not if i had any say. i would fire him tonight! he does not deserve to finish the season. he flat out sucks as our head coach.

What difference does it make?

It is time Joe. They need to let him finish the season he is a classy coach who is running the program the right way, but they need to announce that the Missouri game is his last game this week.

[jgphillips3]

Lord knows all coaches make bad decisions.  However, the sheer volume of inexplicable, inane, poorly conceived, terrible decisions by Bielema is mind boggling. 

[pghawg1]

if he was fired early we would know there would be someone new next year  gives us hope. Dragging it to end of year I worry if we won last game Long would keep him at 5-7.

[forrest city joe]

What difference does it make?

You start the process 2 weeks early. you make it offical to coaches all around the country.and you give these young men a chance in their last 2 games. they have no chance with this man as head coach. he is flat out terrible.he needs to go now.and take Jeff Long with him.need a new coach and a new A.D.

[hulk hog]

Football is a train wreck and this has to end. But I do find it interesting that we put up with a terrible record against power 5 schools in basketball but won't stand for it in football.

[3kgthog]

There's not as much class there as you think.

Goodbye stay puff marshmallow man!

Bro he is done

[Atlhogfan1]

No reason to get worked up about his job.  This has been over.

Yeah......ok

[rzrbk4life]

Yea he'll be gone in 2 weeks. Let him finish out the season then send him and JL packing

[forrest city joe]

From what i have heard over these last 5 years,he is a nice man. a good guy. but he is a terrible head football coach.Nutt was better than this.this man needs to be gone tonight in my opinion. it's not about if i like him as a person or not.it's about the fact that this man has lost a ton of football games since coming here.

[rhames]

agree need to say he's gone after the MSU loss.     The Foundation needs some time to raise money for next year (seats/boxes sold, money for new coach, etc.)

Ummm becuse 2 weeks makes a difference?

[carolinahogger]

There's not as much class there as you think.

After he moves on we will get the real story.  I think that there is blatant hypocrisy in his 'uncommon' bull.  The players can see right through it and there is no way they buy in.

[rhames]

Yes, Mr Rhames.   It IS important.   No go back to shoe shine box.   

All my rags are dirty



When are 2018 donations due?

[ricepig]

One week will make a difference??

[The OTR]

Joe if hogville could give an award for most bloodthirsty fan of all time i think you'd win that award walking away.

[PissedPig]

There's not as much class there as you think.

Please elaborate.

[forrest city joe]

Some of you are missing the point.looks like they are going to let him finish the season.i am saying in my opinion both he and Jeff Long should be gone this week.got to hire a new A.D. first.and let him hire the new coach.Jeff Long does not need to hire the new coach.

[hoglady]

Most aren't convinced he's gone.
Right now - you have a fan base that would probably crumble if he is retained.
So you have fans watching games going - I want our kids to win, but I want to make sure Bielema is gone. It's really strange feeling.

[code red]

He is going to finish the season.

Who flipping cares.

[Calling All Hogs]

The sad thing is that LSU did come out with a Bama hangover and was uninspired yet still beat us by 23.

[rhames]

Be surprised what a person can do in a week.   The fans will be excited and they'll fill the stands for one last look at BERT and his boy toy Mr. Anderson.   I'm sure the players would appreciate this also.   Its really a win-win for everyone.

Lol

[moses_007]

I called that play Brotha.  I said yesterday LSU would win by 24 points, and I was just a missed extra point shy of the Tigers meeting my prediction.

Now I'm going to say Mississippi State 38, Arkansas 17.

I agree that Long should announce right now that Bielema is gone after the Missouri game.  Just announce that his last day with the program is November 24th, and that a coaching search will be underway this week.

[rhames]

If long were fired today we wouldn't have an AD for at least a month. Long is here for the foreseeable future and will be the "face" of the hire of the new football coach


I know it's easy to want blood now but we are just going to have to wait 14 days.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

I'm with FCJ. Just do it and end it now. It hurts to watch this mess.

[Pecos Hog]

Katy High down here in TX could have beat LSU today.    Looked like LSU was trying to keep it close.

hoglady i know what you are saying.this man has got to go no matter what happens the rest of the season in my opinion.Arkansas is getting destroyed in almost every game.this man is worst than Nutt.Jeff Long can not be allowed to hire this new coach.

[elksnort]

tusked has been saying this. It is a good idea.

Well the next 2 weeks should be interesting.
Hope by the time the dust settles - Bielema and Long have both hit the door.

This time Jeffy won't have much of a say in the matter of our next coach will be.

Great substance in this post.

Great levels of substance here too.

I love these blanket presumptive posts with no insight as to how they arrived at their opinion.

[HiggiePiggy]

Football is a train wreck and this has to end. But I do find it interesting that we put up with a terrible record against power 5 schools in basketball but won't stand for it in football.

We have a winning record in conference in I believe 4 of 6 mike Anderson's seasons with only one losing season I believe that was his first season.   So don't try and compare the 2. We at least have something to look forward to in basketball.  Football is just another joke season. 

[forrest city joe]

+1000. the only good thing is we will know what happens  in 2 weeks.

[HogRockCafe]

Firing Jeff Long fixes nothing.  That would just fan the flames of this dumpster fire. 

[grumpyoldboar]

What do you expect them to do, place a job opening ad in the newspaper?  Those initial contacts have likely already been made.

[HornetHog]

This.  He's obviously going to be fired at the end of the year so I'm not going to get too worked up. 

Pros and Cons on letting go now vs at the end? 
It would definitely send the message to all interested coaches that an opening is here and real. It would allow possible candidate HCs to start speaking with their possible staffs. Or not....?

[Mr. Porkleone]

I'll keep saying it. I've not seen Razorback football this bad since the 1990's. TJ Hammonds 3 carries?  Wow! OL woes, coverage woes, conditioning woes. Fans deserve better. 2 more games and change will come. We must change our offense to more of a spread if we want to compete. We must get better athlete, we must get better coaches and our condition must improve.

[lasthog]

Classy? Playing favorites; throwing players and coaches under the bus; making a show of being a tough disciplinarian when in reality he metes out "justice" only to some, others slide.

I have been a strong supporter of the guy since day one, but I don't really care for the way he victimizes others.

And I wouldn't call a self-absorbed, arrogant, undisciplined bully classy.  But that's just me
