That's just it, he proved he wasn't a quality kicker. He'd be hammered here if he had said Hedlund was a quality kicker that missed a couple.

Yep. People just want him to avoid talking about where people may have failed in PCs, ignore questions about it and handle it behind closed doors to leave people wondering what we'll do during the next game.

Very Nearly Exact Words:

Opening:

"Kicking Game, we may either go for it all the time or I'll......Look it, what you see in practice is what you believe will happen. We have a kicker that was kicking over 95% all the way through fall camp and through two weeks of the season, to go out there and miss two chip shorts, especially the second one, the reason I wanted to go for it, it was aligned to the middle of the field and was basically a PAT. Had the perfect protection, perfect snap, it's inexcusable."

"We'll definitely have to find the other option in that regards, cause we aren't gonna go down that path again. That one we'll move forward on."
-----------------------------------------
Question: "As far as the kicker, is Mazza the guy or..??."

Answer: "Either him or Connor Limpert. You know he's a lefty. You have to change out the battery, the man that's holding it. Connor Limpert has hit the ball well though. We wanted him to concentrate moreon his kickoffs. Mazza and Cole have been working PATs and field goals. Obviously something's got to change to get the answer right."
------------------------------------------

Question: "Coach when you missed those field goals in the Red Zone, get the fumble and can't do anything with it, did you feel the energy on the sideline kinda deflate a little bit?"

Answer: "Those field goals were hard to take, they're hard, they're down in there, we talked about with the 1st one if we wanted to back it up but he felt confident, very confident about the angle and the hit. Those are hard to take. You know we got a formula for red zone efficiency that is if it's not touchdowns it's field goals, again, that second one is basically a PAT, and to miss that is juvenile. We gotta do whatever we gotta do to make sure that's something that can be handled in the future. It takes it's toll, again that something that probably wore on our defense."

Someone point out the part where coach B "lynched" Hedlund, or even blamed the loss on him. It didn't happen. It is what it is but these folks pret being they've jumped off the bus because of his treatment of Hedlund are laughable. It wasn't really even that bad.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

It tells us Bret Bielema is out of answers and the frustration level is high enough now that he's thrown a plyer under the bus.  A junior placekicker suffering multiple point blank failures because of stage fright for the umpteenth time in his career is not a player to be thrown under the bus.  The responsibility resides with the coach who keeps putting the kid on the bus. 

If CBB want to call out the guilty coach for stupidity I am all in favor of it.


ND

Players who practice well, but play badly is nothing new.  Sticking the players in the game that you think are the best at what they do and crossing your fingers is just one of the many X factors involved in every sport.  The opposite holds true as well; players who are horrid in practice but excel on game days.  The problem with the later scenario is that those guys rarely get a chance to take the field.  So it can get you either way.

It's not like Cole did any of it on purpose.  I'm also sure that he's feeling pretty horrible right now.  Throw in the shredding he's getting in the local and social media, from fans, and likely other sources we're not privy to, man.  He's also taking the brunt of a lot of pent up frustration.  I feel for the kid.

I also don't blame Beilema for his decision to put him in.  He's been excellent in practice.  He didn't know the kid was going to choke.  I mean, what else does he have to go off of?  It was only the second game this season.  He was the second ranked PAT kicker in the conference in 2015 (58 out of 58) and tied the school record.  He was 25 for 25 last season.

But what I do blame Bielema for is how he handled this.  I think it was classless.  He should have lauded the kid's accomplishments in previous seasons and made a statement to the tune of, "...but, it's obvious we're going to need to work much more on this," and left it at that.

I look at it this way.  If Cole was going to have a career-ending melt down, at least it happened now and not later, in a situation where it would have made the difference between a W and L.

Read the quotes and point out The terribly offensive parts. Where did he get thrown under the bus? He was pointing out an obvious issue. He pointed out a few others as well.

Calling Hedlund out was a desperate attempt to deflect the spotlight from CBBs responsibility for your above described play America saw this last Saturday.
And yes there is a right way to handle the Cole Hedlund situation...Have some class and keep this internal while sitting CH on the bench...Very low class move which will become more common for CBB.

We need a change...And will likely be forced to watch what we saw Sat. until the buyout reach's the tipping point and the administration has the nerve to give Razorback Nation what we deserve...Which is a high quality and winning program.

I'm pleased someone realizes what Ole Teflon Bret was up to with his attack on Hedlund and put it on this board.  Desperation move, absolutely; running out of excuses.  Done with Bret.

If we are at 3 wins going in to Ole Miss, I'm off the train and gonna take a plane to the Darkside.

But saying he was throwing someone under the bus is stupid. Just because most people on Hogville don't have the football IQ to realize who he is normally talking about IRT the OL, DL, LBs etc, doesn't mean that he doesn't talk about players regularly in post game. They only reason everyone is pissy about the Hedlund thing is it's the first time they actually knew who he was talking about.

If Bret is going to call out the Kicker then he shouldn't stop.  Call out the OL, QB, WRs and on down the list on Offense and I am sure there are those on Defense also.   Maybe Call out some coaches for not having their players ready.  Why not call our some coaches for not recruiting  more 5 star players.   Lets get that  blame game going and get a fire built under this team because what I saw on Saturday was total CRAP.   

If we do not put up a better product on the field starting against A&M I am not sure we will win 6 games this year.   

Just curious was Long smart enough to put in CBB contract if he was not above .500 in SEC wins after year 5 he could be fired.   Probable not.

Some of y'all are crazy.  Lynched? It was a 15 second sound byte. If you were indeed a CBB supporter there's no way in hell that statement changed it. He's called kids out multiple times.

Most people didn't watch it or don't care what was said.  Those that can't stand him love the free swing at him.  Those that are finally giving up on him see it as an easy opportunity to flip their stance.

I personally didn't care for the way he did it.  But I also didn't subscribe much weight to it.  CBB was angry as hell and let his temper get the better of him.  I get it.  And as stated above, no different then calling out a fumble, INT, or missed tackle. 

It's not like the kid missed a 35-yard FG.
It's not like CBB blamed the kid for the loss.
It was one of many comments and reasons given, most of which were directed at himself and the coaching staff.  And that's were most of it belongs.

I had no issue with what Bielema said post game. If you have a QB who is tossing interceptions, no one bats any eye when the coach says "he has to make better decisions". If an RB is putting the ball on the ground, he gets called out for poor ball control. A missed chip shot FG is the same as a turnover in the red zone. Why shouldn't that be worthy of post game comment?
Because Hedlund is a kid, playing with a scholarship as pay. The coach is an overgrown man making more than 4 million.

Smashmouth2004

I have no problem with the way he treated Hedlund. As a matter of fact I think he's been too soft on the players and coaches and it's reflected on the field. Bielema himself is soft because Long has made him that way with the contract he ave him emphasizing GPA and not wins!

HotlantaHog

It's not the end of the world, but I think it would be much better never to publicly criticize a player directly or indirectly.  Do it in private. These are college kids on scholarship not paid professionals. That's why there's a rule against player bashing on Hogville as I understand the rules.

It doesn't change my view of CBB. The way the Hogs lost the game gives me an incrementally less optimistic view of the year and how the season will play out because TCU was a swing game. Not the only one, but a big one. So are Texas A&M and South Carolina. It will be an important few weeks.

I do think some professional PR help would be good for the coach. It's not the first time he's put his foot in his mouth. There was criticizing hurry-up offenses, which was an unnecessary controversy. There was criticizing the strength of the Big 10, which was inviting ridicule when the Hogs lost...

CBB is not as unethical or as constantly a bad speaker as Nutt was or Danny Ford was.... but he has made a share of blunders that is larger than a lot of coaches.

In the end that doesn't matter. Lots of wins would make me a lot more willing to overlook some dumb comments. Lots of losses makes me less willing to put up with them. But it's the W-L stats that matter.

lol yeah till they decided to run it every play.  Did the defense cause the snapper to flub a snap?  No.  The defense was not good.  Secondary? Yes much better.  Front 7 is about as physical as Pea Ridge.

The first miss was they same as a turnover and gave the ball back for an TCU score. The second broke our back on momentum. So yes, those misses were significant. To add insult to injury, TCU conceded the 2nd attempt. They did not even rush for fear of a penalty that could have resulted in a first down. Still couldn't hit a chip shot.

Not being a [CENSORED]; so i say less than seven wins he should be let go, 7-8, go forth with skepticism, 9-10 ride the bert train.

All Bret has to do is look in the mirror and see where the responsibility lies...100%...And of course he won't call himself out.
What we are seeing is 5 years of "building toward a championship team"...And this is the result.
CBB will never get it done here and he's in over his head...And we have several more years of Bielema ball.

What CBB pulled was weak and juvenile. He behaved more like a child than 4 million dollar coach.

He pouted about a kicker and spent ZERO time on how the offensive line ran 5 plays from the 4 yard line and gained a whopping 2 yards prior to the 2nd miss.

TCU had already won a victory and momentum when tell it like it is CBB decided to kick and it was just gravy when it missed.

The comments were petty and hopefully a stress induced mistake.

Exactly what did Bielema say that was terrible? Instead of saying Hedlund he should have said the kicker? Anyone who was watching the game all know the kid choked on those 2 chip shots so you're now you're shocked that he said we need to replace the kicker? Now I'm mad that I have to defend Bielema!

The kicking game is just another component indicative of the underlying problems caused by lack of sound leadership.

The media as a whole has become pathetic when it comes to Arkansas athletics... failing to call a spade a spade with any conviction.
As a group they've been cuckolded by the administration.

Wake us when someone with a broader audience has the cajones to call for the change the program deserves.

Good night.

I wonder how CBB would take it if JL went on tv and said, "CBB is a good practice coach. Makes the right decision 95% in practice. I gave him this big extension and then he goes out and coaches terribly in the 2nd half of 3 of his last 4 games. I mean it's juvenile to coach so bad that you lose back to back games in the second half. Obviously we are going to gave to make a change."  Now see how he likes it if he isn't making $4 million per year and has a huge buyout but he can leave for an insubstantial sum.

Then you're actually hoping for a meltdown of epic proportions which isn't going to happen.  As of right now they have 5 automatic wins on the schedule going forward (A & M, New Mexico St., Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss and Mizzou), with 1 already put away.  They're not going to fire him if he wins 6 games. I also believe Auburn may be a winnable game.  Now if he chokes and loses the next two, he'll be gone by October 1, but that's not going to happen.  They're automatic wins.

Yeah, Brett ... those two missed field goals are what lost the game. It wasn't the complete lack of an offensive line, only one effective running back, a QB with happy feet and no accuracy, a receiving corps that was completely absent, a lousy offensive game plan, and an out of shape defense that was completely gassed by the 4th quarter thanks to too many offensive 3 and outs - it was a kicker leaving 6 points on the field ...

BTW, you lost by 21 ... 3 + 3 does not equal 21 ...

I modified the thread title just a little bit.  No need to kick a dog while he's down.

Thank you.

I had no issue with what Bielema said post game. If you have a QB who is tossing interceptions, no one bats any eye when the coach says "he has to make better decisions". If an RB is putting the ball on the ground, he gets called out for poor ball control. A missed chip shot FG is the same as a turnover in the red zone. Why shouldn't that be worthy of post game comment?

None of what you posted is even close to what Bielema said about Hedlund.  He said he was done with him and he'd never let him kick again, just go for it on 4th down every time.

And if Bielema ever publicly said that about a qb or rb that was struggling then that would be just as wrong.  It's a coaches job to correct players' mistakes.  (Some might even call it coaching)

Bielema showed his ass in the PC, and it's a big one.
Do dyslexic, agnostic insomniacs lie awake at night wondering if there really is a dog?

Which part?  Did you hear the PC?

Yes, and I posted the transcript. He didn't say that he would never let him kick again. You are inferring that from his statements.

I personally would only let him kick another field goal if we had a 30 point lead.

You are correct, I inferred that.  But it was definitely implied, which should never have happened publicly.  Handle that crap behind closed doors.

He didn't imply it. You inferred it. It's alright though. People will take away from the PC what they will take away. I personally don't care one bit whether Hedlund ever sees another snap of Razorback football. If Allen had thrown 2 interceptions, he would have commented directly on that and everyone would have known who he was talking about.

Hedlund is a big ole boy and he should be able to take it. If he can't then he needs to move on out and go kick for Abilene Christian.
