Barry Alvarez even said the power run won't work here. He's hinting to Bret.... scrap the power!

I think he'd essentially have to win 7 of his remaining 8 games left this season.  I think Bama is an automatic loss. But he's failed so miserably, that he'll never be able to put his first 4 seasons behind him.


And I still believe he's gone January 1.
He'll be gone Nov 25 or 26 or 27 at latest.

Does anyone see the insanity in fans who comment here still thinking, even hoping, that Coach Bulimia will be the head coach next year? This guy has a losing record though 4 1/3 seasons. He is 10-23 in SEC games. That is the stuff of Vandy of old. Of Rice in the Southwest Conference in the '70's. Fans seem okay with it. They rationalize the hell out of it. Like it will suddenly improve in back half of year 5 and if not, surely in year 6 of Coach Bulimia. Everyone is crazy, because I know I am sane. It's not me, it's you.

This guy would never have a record of 10-23 in SEC play if he could get the job done. No good coach would ever start like that in 4+ seasons. I don't care what he was given in year 1.

A&M is our new SMU of the '90's. Can't beat them. Could play them 50 times and we'd lose all 50 and lose 45 of them in OT. It's so crazy it has become comical. Stop the insanity and dump Bulimia on the weekend after the final game and move on. Give someone else a shot. Bulimia has failed and he is not going to suddenly become Petrino or Holtz or Broyles.

People are/were willing to give him time. People, such as myself, are also tired of it and seeing it's probably not gonna happen. I don't see anyone saying he's "built something here." Your shtick is so [CENSORED] exhausting.

Operative word was "were." Still 8 games left in this season. We lose to Auburn and Alabama and win a bowl game to finish 9-4, I'll be pleased.

Stop being the worst 3rd down team in all of college football would be a start. Just saying.

I agree that we need to limit 3rd down conversions on defense but South Carolina and Mizzou are currently worse than we are:

http://www.cfbstats.com/2017/leader/911/team/defense/split01/category25/sort01.html

Surprisingly, we are the best (in the SEC) in 3rd down offense:

That's so sick, dude. When this season is over, I can't wait to tell my buddies that hawgon on Hogville "told us so." They'll surely get a kick out of that.

Can you tell me where you redeem your "I told you so" points? I need to check out that rewards system.

I wish we could get 3 points occasionally when we can't get it across the goal line. No FG's yet in 2017. Only team in FBS not to have one this season.

A record of 8-4 this year, a bowl win, and 9-3 next year.  I'd love it but I just don't see it happening.  Next year could actually be worse than this year and I don't see us getting to the 8 win mark.  Not making a bowl this year combined with the roster turnover and lackluster recruiting may make it hard to get past this year.  A scandal of any kind might be too much for him to weather.

FWIW I think I saw a similar thread last year with many of the same responses.

Sorry, but hate to disappoint you and all the rest of the haters. Whether I personally like a coach or not I will ALWAYS root for him to be successful. That means that obviously the team is doing well. And that's ultimately what I'm interested in. I LOVE my Hogs and my alma mater and want all the teams to succeed. As far as who happens to be the HC makes little difference; sorry if that particular sentiment offends anyone. Then again, I give not one rat's arse whether it does or not.

So obviously your claim of "I told you so" means far more to you than whether or not CBB is ultimately successful. Yep, spoken like a true fan: don't actually pull and support the team (and whoever is coaching) as long as you get to say in the end "Look at me cause I told ya'". Truly need far more like you both here and in the stands.  :puke: P.S. what a totally shallow and egocentric person....sad.

Bingo on all counts! I've honestly come to the conclusion that some would dislike/hate virtually any coach no matter who because for those it's really not about truly and honestly supporting and wishing the team and therefore the coach(es) good fortune. It's about being able to crow about being so insightful and correct about a particular hire. That is until the next guy is hauled up to the gallows for execution......

No, dummy, he will fail at Arkansas regardless of whether I want him to or not.  It doesn't matter what I want.  It doesn't matter what happens this weekend.  He will fail at Arkansas.

I don't think there's any doubt of us making a bowl this year but it'll be another also ran bowl.  My gripe is there's just no improvement, and it looks like we may actually be getting worse.

You say you're sorry twice then end with saying you don't care. I don't understand. You sound very conflicted.

You are extreme. You interpret fans wanting to try a new head coach as a personal insult and hatred of the current coach. It's neither. We don't care about your thoughts on the program. And we do not hate the coach. Hate is a strong feeling. I hate the shooter who murdered the innocents in LV. I have zero hate for the head coach. Most adults are of same thinking. The coach is limiting the success of the team. Thus my desire for trying another at the job. That is all. Take it easy and do not take it all so personally.

No HC was getting us the SECCG over the last 5 seasons.  But yeah, it's not realistic he's surviving after season 6.

The nearest we are to a coaching change is December of 2019. Hopefully, Jeffie does not give Bielema another extension, then we have a chance at a change in 2019, but not before. Bielema in effect has a seven year guaranteed contract. Like it or lump it. I, for one, am not happy about that, but I have been told by people in the know, that this the case. Sorry folks.

A guaranteed 7 year contract means he's guaranteed 7 years of pay if he's terminated early. It does not mean he's guaranteed to coach for 7 years.
