That's the best written uninformative article I've ever read.

CBB is going to get fired with justification.  He didn't win enough football games.  In particular, yesterday's loss was a perfect encapsulation of the Bielema era.  He got a team prepared for a game in which we were undermanned (injuries yesterday) and managed to lead for a large portion of the game. Nonetheless, he ultimately put an L on the board due to a combination of some questionable game management, lack of depth, critical penalties, routine special-teams plays misfiring, players not making winning plays, and bad luck.

There is really no need to shovel BS on his grave, however.  We didn't just face some mediocre P5 schools during his tenure.  We played top-5 schedules in 2014 and 2015.  His record is at least partly due to one of the toughest run of schedules in school history.  In 2015 we won 8 games against the #3 SOS.  The first of 5 losses was by 4 points to 10-win Toledo, a game in which we managed just 12 points on over 400 yards of O.  Brandon Allen kept missing open receivers in the end zone. Two others were one of those endless OT losses to A&M and a 1-point loss to 9-4 MSU. Another loss was a competitive game against the NCs in Tuscaloosa.  The victories included road wins at 9-4 UT, at 10-3 Ole Miss, and at 9-3 LSU. 

It's a load of crap that he never put a good football team on the field and that his tenure was unmitigated misery.  That team would have won 10 or 11 games against some of our schedules in the past 25 years.

CBB is going to get fired because of cause.

Getting fired for not winning enough games is not being fired for cause.

Fired for cause is if the coach does something unethical/illegal/etc.

Sorry, it wasn't his tombstone:

If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Tombstone was a really good movie

I liked Wyatt Earp more, a lot more if Kevin Costner wasn't in it.

Thanks. I fixed it.
