Wallace started 10 games last year and all of sudden he forgot how to play Football.  Bull Hockey He did something to get in Do Right Brets dog house.

BRETLEY DO RIGHT!

It isn't classless, but it is typical. And not of you, just typical of everyone that wants Bielema gone and has a different way of expressing that.

I'm done with Bielema in terms of being a HC that will produce a team that can compete on the field with lesser talent, against greater talent. He's a good man and a good person and I like the way he runs the program off the field, but he doesn't seem to be able to get it done on the field. Nothing personal, it's just business. I won't take personal shots at him because aside from on-field production, he hasn't done anything to embarrass the school or the program. But I think that he has been given plenty of time to prove that he can get it done on the field, and he just hasn't excelled at that part of the job.

He seems like a good guy, but how do you know?

Do any of you actually know CBB?

Or are you just regurgitating what is being proposed.

I've been around him some. Do you know otherwise? Have you been personally involved with him? If I don't have any personal knowledge otherwise (and even if I did) there is no need to get personal about this. He hasn't done the entire job that he was hired to do and that is really all that any of us need to know.

Guess you forgot the part of the interview where it was said that Wallace was improving ... maybe he got to the point where he can be counted on.  Another flaming arrow sent from the cheap seats towards the staff...

I think this one is well deserved. There is no defending how they have handled this line from last season to now.

I really, really wish there was a way to test posters actual real time coaching ability with D1 athletes. It would be facinating to see how quickly they'd start giving excuses for their results.

Well, we have seen the Hogs coaches and their ACTUAL REAL TIME COACHING ABILITY with D1 athletes. And yes, I have found it fascinating to see how quickly Brett started giving excuses.  Did you notice how he started the post game press conference after USCe? He said "I came here to a 3 and 9 team, we have a 3 and 9 season". He actually said the TEAM was the reason for that 3-9 season.  Anyone who hasn't watched that presser should.
"DO NOT POST IN THE GAME THREAD ANYMORE TODAY OR YOU WILL RECIEVE A 30 BAN!"--

Multiple play-by-play posters followed by "Good job, D" and "Way to go, Offense" is so interesting to read over and over as the team gets blown out and the coaches flounder. I can't figure out why game threads don't have 60 to 80 pages now.

Am I the only one that misses the old, interesting game threads?

+1. This pretty much sums it up for me.
I love off season Football!!

Ragnow is at guard so that he can help Rogers with line calls. You could see him doing it vs Bama. Smart move to have him there vs on the outside (although he might be a better fit there, in terms of team needs + talent).

That does seem very obvious....very, very obvious. And I watched some film on the game against the gumps, Rogers played danged well from what I watched.  Can't believe he hasn't been playing all along.

There's something very wrong going on with the football team.  Not sure what, but it's there. Big time there.

Bret or Anderson, somebody, has really, really missed badly with the o line.  Just a guess, I'm saying it's Bielema.

It wasn't the post game presser.  That also wasn't the quote he said.  He didn't say the team was the reason for the 3-9 season... and al that was in response to a question from a reporter about his records, which can barely be heard.

There, fixed that for you again Jakie.....

Watch the presser. I linked it. 

Did the kicker quit the team? If so, I missed that.

Idk how I can be any more clear... CBB isn't winning here and he needs to go.  However, truth is truth and if people make crap up then they should be called out on it with the facts.  You'll notice a trend with me... I try to add links.  Actually try to read them or listen to the pressers... that's not me attacking your intelligence... I just honestly don't believe you listen to the pressers that you post about.

I've laid out all of the evidence I need.......you still didn't provide me any stats to back up your Koehler statement.....about how he impacted our program Mr."I provide links"......Just saying.....I was looking forward to a good read..... ;D ;D ;D

And if you really wanted him gone you'd stop defending him for bashing players.....and no the kicker didn't quit, he was transferred out.......only to see a new kicker make the same fracking mistake......

And I saw this presser, and he clearly says what the SEC Country article accused him of saying......

it wasn't Bielema's dog house Wallace was in, it was Andersons.  And Anderson should be fired because he wasn't starting the best 5 players on the OLine.  As I heard Bielema went and watched the OLine to see what the prob was and Anderson had no explanation for it. So he was told to start the best 5.  Hopefully at the end of the season, if Bielema is kept, that Anderson is shown the door!  Never really liked that guy cuz he was unproven coach and unproven recruiter and then hear that he was holding a grudge against some guys.  What a jackhole that Anderson is!  I knew I was right when I first started my concerns about his sorry arse and the OLine not showing any improvements, but the Bert Lovers jumped me about it.  And I was even a Bielema guy.. now, at this juncture I have switched sides. All the losing, all the unlucky things, the bad plays, etc.. now I'm just ready for change.  Get a new guy and let him take us the rest of the way back to the top!

I guess you don't comprehend what a "plan" is with Koehler, or why we recruit players.

The SEC Country article was completely different than what we are discussing in this thread.  So yeah, I'm sure you actually watched the presser if you can't even keep discussions straight.

Wallace is mediocre, average at best. At times he got manhandled last year, at times he was serviceable.  Either way he can at least get a hand on a defender, C Jackson barely breaks out of his stance and the D-End he was supposed to block is already eating AA for lunch.  Wallace is not perfect but he's the best we have and should have started day one.  The Dutchman is not getting it done either, just seems lost out there, struggles in pass pro, can't perform a simple combo block with Ragnow.  Can't pick up a stunt to save his or AAs life.  Should be:
LT-Ragnow
LG-Merrick/Gibson
C-Rogers
RG-Merrick/Gibson
RT-Wallace

Gibson has earned the starting guard spot on the line. The guy has played 3 positions on the offensive line in 6 games! I wonder how effective Gibson could be with a coaching staff that would allow him to grow at the guard position.

Alowing a player to grow at a position is what happened with Froholdt, and everyone is frustrated with that.  I'd say mixing it up to find the best 5 is a good option.

Apples to oranges. Froholdt was a neophyte that was allowed to learn on the job. He wasn't just growing at left guard, he was LEARNING how to play offensive line.

It's a mess! 7 games into the season and still trying to find the right combination. What did this staff do during the summer and early Fall camp? There is talent and potential on the line and if Arkansas would hire a average head coach they would win 9-10 games next season.

Wow I have zero respect for you and your opinion. Froholdt was gifted a starting position and did nothing to earn it. How about a player earning a position? That is my frustration and using Froholdt to take up for BB is so dumb.

Still different positions, different reads and keys, responsibilities, calls, etc.
Once again, apples to oranges. Gibson moving around the offensive line is nothing like froholdt moving from defense to offense. Along the offensive line, you have the same main objective (block/protect the QB) but each position has different ways of achieving that objective. On the defensive line you are using a combination of technique and brute strength to move the person in front of you and hit the opposing qb.
That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

Disagree.  We are better off with Austin.  We need Austin to get bowl eligible.  IDT we can with CK.
Only if he's healthy

Looks like Allen may play against Auburn.   Please no.  Glad he is feeling better, but play CK.  Kid has been beat up and now he is an ounce better and you want to put him against probably the second or third best defense in the SEC.  Let CK play.  Give the rest of this team a shot at a win with a healthy QB.

"Austin Allen continues to make really good strides," Bielema said Wednesday. "He was over on the side (Tuesday) and doing drops, throws and different things; (it) gets you excited. He did not practice, but I think the possibility of him playing on Saturday is real. I think it's important to him and all the people that are around him, so it should be fun to see him get back out there."
GO HOGS!!

Wow I have zero respect for you and your opinion. Froholdt was gifted a starting position and did nothing to earn it. How about a player earning a position? That is my frustration and using Froholdt to take up for BB is so dumb.
Dude, I think you misunderstood me.  I'm not taking up for CBB in that.  The point I was trying to make was that we shouldn't be trying anyone out during the season... all that should be dealt with in Spring ball.  The poster I was replying to was taking about letting Gipson try a different spot and let him learn on the fly.  We didn't like it when a Froholdt was allowed to learn on the fly, we should not be having anyone have to do that!
