[DeltaBoy]

Winning Football games has become too Uncommon for me!

[greenEGnHAWGS]

Honest question, is there anything he could say in this press conference that wouldn't spur all the obligatory "quit whining", "blah blah blah", and "talk is cheap" comments?

Really? What would you realistically expect him to say?

PS: not looking for "I quit" or "I suck" comments.

[nwahogfan1]

Lets see.  A&M was down to their 3rd QB, a freshman who along with 9 other freshmen and 1 upperclassman put 43 point on us in regulation.  Just don't see them ever getting bad enough to lose to us.

I agree, We got our butts handed to us by a bunch of freshmen.  Sad.

i don't know, but if I had a beer for every time he said it's coming, I'd be happy man.

[Hawgphish]

it is kind of like my junior high school counselor coaching the hogs.  Just way to concerned with emotions and feelings, ugh.

[LRHawg]

We were sold on the promise of overcoming talent issues/recruiting by developing players into a solid team of vets. where is this developed team in year 5?

[RazorbacksFan]

He needs to step away for his sake and the teams sake, let someone finish out this season for him that will have no pressure on them ,then we all can move on from this.

If this were to happen, would it be Rhoads or Enos?

[Großer Kriegschwein]

I'm just tired of the stupid looks on the sidelines when something bad happens and the crying in press conferences.

If you care that much, go fix the issues and let us see it in the wins column.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

It'd be another coach at the end of the season.

[sowmonella]

Lots of men cry when they blow their wad.

And you know this how???

[panhandlepig]

He's going to be rightly judged for his performance on the field, but I'm not going to pick on Coach B for tearing up. It just shows he cares.

.

  I didn't watch the press conference.  Since when was "tearing up" an indication someone cares?  The man is getting his ass beat every time he puts his team on the field. That is unacceptable by any standard or metric anytime or place.   """Tearing up" means nothing.

From a competitive perspective - I'd much rather see a little fire and brimstone from Bielema after that type loss. Like maybe he was angry we lost.
I'm with you, though - the tears do nothing for me.

[HognotinMemphis]

No more chip on shoulder. No longer hungry. What is it now? Thirsty? Thirsty for blood of the opponent?

[HognotinMemphis]

Was thinking the same thing. 

I know they have won 3 OT games against us but they are 6-0 over last 6 years. That means they consistently have superior talent than Ark. Bielema could stay here another 5 years and he would probably go 0-10.

  It's too late.  There is nothing he can do to salvage this. I hate it for him but it's on him.  If I were to shed tears about it, it would be for the kids out there playing.  They deserve better.

He was ass chewing some O lineman in the 3rd quarter late and they played pretty well after that. Time to take off the kid gloves and get into these guys like Petrino used to...

[tusksincolorado]

CBB deserves better treatment when he is shown the door.  He DOES NOT DESERVE THE HOOTIE NUTTLESS SCUMBAG AZZ RAN OUT OF THE STATE TREATMENT...CBB just cant get it done. 

[HognotinMemphis]

"Nothing out there that's not correctable."

Except the coaching staff, including the head coach.

[hoglady]

With you on that.
Feel terrible for the players.
It would take a lot to convince me to get back on the Bielema bandwagon.
I will continue to support the team no matter what - but I don't think Bielema is the right coach for us.

[hoglady]

May be a day late and dollar short on that.
It's not his personality anyway.

[doc53]

Did he actually cry? Someone said he was crying.

sure sounded like it

I was thinking of posting the same thing. He'd get ripped on here no matter what he said.

  Is too late for ass chewing at this point. The writing is on the wall. It didn't work.

[Hoggiedawg]

CBB needs to go.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Yes. He was crying.

I think people are tired of the catch-phrase coach speak. It's a pretty tired schtick.

[pigmania]

I feel for him a bit. The wrath is about to be unreal

I felt for him too. I truly believe he likes it here, he likes being a Razorback and wants to win. Problem is that he's not making the winning part happen.

How about we begin with not crying. That would be a start.
And quit saying "it's all correctable". He says that after every loss.
They may be, but when are they going to be corrected??
Sometime this year, next year or the next year??

[Grunt]

Deep water. Nobody comes to get you. This is JL self-righteous Sunday class.

[Jimbob111]

BS. He's a guy who turns on the tears when it suits his needs. He tears up any time he think it will get him out of trouble.

[Jimbob111]

It makes me absolutely sick to see Beliema talking about God and being tested. I guess he's shooting for the Freeze/Chizik/Jones angle of getting the fanbase behind him. Someone must have told him Arkansas is in the Bible belt. He's skipped to page 5 in the coaches-in-the-hotseat playbook.

He's a players coach...How do you know he is not sincere?

Do the players hate to play for him?
Do the players parents not want their children to be coached by them?
Have the players been successful "off the field" and are becoming productive as "people" in society?
Do you think he is incapable of having emotions because he has let everybody down including himself?

Guess you only judge people by their wins...

[leroyhawg]

I think we start seeing a lot more Kelley, it will be a welcome change for me at least!

This. He's under a lot of pressure and can't just throw his hands up and say "we suck" like everyone else can. I feel for him but comes with territory of SEC war.

[pigroots]

He's passionate....his players play hard for him. I'd rather have a guy who cares about winning so much he has trouble holding his emotions back than the guy who doesn't act like it matters. We're close...We need a couple of playmakers and we'll get over the hump

Taken 5 years to get to where it is now. By the 2023 season, I bet Bielema is over that hump at Arkansas and we'll be competing for SEC West division with Alabama.

Thank you for your input, Mr. Long.

Won't matter.

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Cole Kelley will bail Beilema out next season.  Then Kelley will leave for the NFL after a single year of starting as QB.

[hogcard1964]

No, there's a reason he's not starting now.  Bielema is desperate to win any game.  If Kelley helped him right now, he'd be playing all the time.

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

No, there's a reason he's not starting now.  Bielema is desperate to win any game.  If Kelley helped him right now, he'd be playing all the time.

Let's see.  Kelley got 5 plays yesterday.  On three of them Kelley made a critical first down.  On one of them he threw a TD pass, where the defender had to step up and respect the run, leaving the receiver open.  The other one was an incomplete pass.

That was 4 out 5 plays that were successful with Kelley at QB. 

So tell me, just how did Kelley not help Beilema?

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

No, there's a reason he's not starting now.  Bielema is desperate to win any game.  If Kelley helped him right now, he'd be playing all the time.

Mond, a true freshman at A&M is helping Sumlin pretty well.  Fromm, a true freshman at Georgia is helping his team pretty well.  I'd say the redshirt freshman Kelley helped the Hogs pretty well yesterday. 

And I guess you missed the part where the team evidently thinks he is pretty darn good, as they had verbally pressed Beilema to give him a role after the TCU loss.

And if Beilema is so desperate to win a game, then why isn't he giving Kelley a start? I mean geez, how many in a row do you have to lose?  Define your meaning of desperate?  You're making no sense with that desperate claim.

[RazorPiggie]

He looks defeated. I think he's done for.

[JackTNHogfan]

Thank you for your input, Mr. Long.

Lmao

[HeathWimp]

CBB deserves better treatment when he is shown the door.  He DOES NOT DESERVE THE HOOTIE NUTTLESS SCUMBAG AZZ RAN OUT OF THE STATE TREATMENT...CBB just cant get it done. 

I agree.  Please remind people of this after next season is over.

[DeltaBoy]

When you correct something it is supposed to be fixed. Tired of this coach speak we saw some positive thing a few thing on D need fixed.

The past two years it been the same thing. Your 0-5 vs TAMU!
YOUR new D gave up over 500 to a team with a 3rd string Qb  and 12 kids who were playing HS last fall!.

[ICEman]

"Lot of positives. Gonna make corrections...grow and move forward...found a couple guys who made plays..."

eye roll

Unfortunately the other teams are out correcting our corrections.

[hoglady]

I just can't believe so many feel sorry for a guy who's getting paid $11,000 dollars a day to fail at his job.
Anyone on here who got hired for a job and failed at it (no matter how hard you worked and tried to succeed) / would be fired. It's the way life works - for everyone.
Can't think of many jobs where failure still guarantees financial security for the rest of your life.

[Porkette]

BS. He's a guy who turns on the tears when it suits his needs. He tears up any time he think it will get him out of trouble.

Maybe, or maybe he's just really emotional.

Either way, I don't really care. His performance on the field will speak for itself. And obviously, that performance isn't what it needs to be right now.
