BB said that he wishes that the people who made this decision to fire could have seen what he has accomplished here at Arkansas. This means that the temporary AD had nothing to do with this decision of firing him, although she says that she made this decision after the game. I call BS and that this decision was made at least one week ago if not two weeks ago. I would say that they were on the fence after the Carolina Coastal game but were waiting to see if he could win out the rest of the games, to give them a reason to keep him in respect to the injury bug he was facing. But more than anything, the empty seats were really all they needed to know. With that said, I say that the coach has already been chosen and it is GUS or Norvell, depending on whether or not Gus wins Saturday. Some people are acting like BB is a victim here, are you kidding me??? He made 20 million here and will get another 5 million dollars!!! If I got fired from a 10.00 an hour job the public would say I deserved it.. LOL  I don't hate BB but I am definitely in the camp that he just be let go, but to feel sorry for him??? I feel like I have been lied to by him... We are going to win the SEC, beat em in the trenches but yet I saw the worse offensive line under BB here. And defense.. OMG..... get rid of Rhoads immediately! Probably Enos as well for some of those boneheaded play calls. BB critical decision making has been horrible all the way through this last game.

Bert may be a lot of things, but a victim is NOT one of them.

Yes, the same people that Bret didn't get to talk too are the same ones that have probably already chosen the new coach.
I'm thinking its Gus.

I would say GUS as well for first choice.

Your last sentence is why he's no longer employed here imho. 
WPS!!!

synthartist69

The thing that bothers me is that they should have hired GUS in place of NUTT. The man was a proven winner even at that point in his career, but I am sure he has now gained some very valuable experience coaching at this level, problem now is that he may be too good for us.

The temporary AD has as much to do with the hiring of the next football coach as I do. An AD isn't necessary because the board and boosters will be running the football program for the foreseeable future. Her press conference made that very clear. A search committee to hire the next figure head at the AD position but my overlords that are using me as a mouthpiece will be hiring the football coach.

She is in an awful situation. Knowing she's on her way out AND having to do the bidding of a bunch of Arkansas good'ol boys.

If we make the hire in the next few days, I bet they'll let her claim it as an olive branch for the crap she's having to put up with.

JackTNHogfan

He's rich and set for life.  Don't feel sorry for him.  Plenty of good coaches have been fired and bounced back.  As long as he doesn't talk crap about us, I've got no beef.  I'm frustrated that he didn't deliver more than he did but sometimes people underachieve and let you down.  He probably feels that way about some of his players and us fans too.   It's just life.

I agree...and in his mind he probably believed he could get it done.

Nebraska is going through the same thing as we speak.  Riley is trying to save his job begging for one more year.  He brought in a defensive coordinator from ND and today they gave up nearly 600 yards to Iowa (just like us )   Why is it always the defense that falls apart when a coach is failing??  Maybe effort is down and so is the planning.  I don't know.  I do know that Bowden told Osborne (they were friends) after Fla St had beaten us again in a bowl game that he should think about taking some of those fast offensive players and moving them to defense and that is what they did on there way to multiple NCs.  Maybe it takes longer to get the right players on the defensive side.

Curious: why would she have to leave? Couldn't she accept an opportunity to remain in the department when an AD is selected?

hogninja

I totally agree it's time for a change and they did let him finish the season, but to throw insults at him as he's leaving is totally schoolyard. He was hired and at the time was considered a very good hire.  Just didn't work out for several reasons. Time to move on with a Little class and look forward to what's next, not take parting shots on a done deal. 8)

Bielema couldn't even get his own firing right.  Said he was fired "coming off the field" when he was actually called to an office and informed of a decision he already knew.

The timing was not right then, he has learned what it takes to survive in the most hostile environment in the SEC. Perfect timing now or never.

why all the wet eyes for Bielema....Bret got 2.5 million dollars for every SEC win during his years here. You know, I know, hell, even yellow dog knows that Bret would have been gonzo with 10 SEC wins in 4 years, 11 in 5 years with almost half of the 11 wins coming in one season.

That incorrect comment by Bielema is what has caused the negative twitter firestorm against the UA administration. He did later correct that - but damage was already done.

I kinda think what he accomplished here is what got him fired! He gave Arkansas a lot of things they never had before that for sure. I don't think he has much to hang a hat on with that statement.
"It is what it is." has replaced "Yesssss Sirrrrr!!!!"

The people who fired him,  did see what he accomplished.  11-29. We all saw it.  This was not a difficult decision.

I'll say this, the new AD probably wouldn't have been asked to strut into the coach's office on his first day and say "hi I'm Joe Blow and you're fired".

Sorry, Bret was gone. It was happening. The one who didn't see that is also gone. Arkansas CAN NOT have a football program this bad.

Dari Nowka just said, and I paraphrase, that "Arkansas doesn't have the tradition and history of an Auburn, of an Alabama, of and LSU"...

Those who think LSU has a better history obviously can't read and obviously are under 40...

THAT is what got Long and his integrity hire fired.

Should have happened long ago.
"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?

I liked coach, but he got paid a lot of money for poor results. He was given plenty of time and didn't get her done. Good luck coach.
