CBB is 0-10 in games decided by 10pts or less?

[Letsroll1200]

The offsides was A&M IMO.  Yes you hold people accountable.  At this point, I don't think it matters because of qb play.  We outcoached and largely outplayed A&M.  We need a playmaker with the ball in important situations and we don't have it on the field right now.  If the staff can't figure out how to hold on to these wins with the current personnel without making a change it is on them.  For the second year vs A&M, we were a few feet away from sealing the win.

Is a playmaker that hard to find? 3 years and nobody!

Playmakers are not that hard to find...our opponents seem to find several every year.

[houstonoutgusin]

We are not designed to score quickly, which is usually a requirement in a close game. We can't even snap the ball until the play clock is under 5 seconds.

The first two years?  Yes. 

[JackTNHogfan]

We have plenty of playmakers they just aren't coached well, aren't as talented as the opposition, and aren't clutch.  They are often undisciplined...on the field at least.

This team has talent on both sides of the ball........but this team has a weak coach.

[JaketheSnake]

Please stop, nobody would be afraid of the big fat Pillsbury dough boy. I don't know where people get the idea that because a guy coaches football he must be tough. 

The point of that went over your head.  Who cares if CBB is tough or not?  The gutless fans that call the media gutless for not asking every freaking question to get a coach they want fired all riled up wouldn't have the guts to do it themselves.

Playmakers make plays when they are put in a position to make plays. When your offense is designed to methodically work its way down the field to limit possessions and eat up clock, you never know what playmakers you have because your offense isn't spreading the field and getting them the ball in space where their ability to make plays shines its brightest.

CBB is also very close to being 2-22 int he SEC.  How long do we continue this experiment?

Until he's not ahead of Jeff Long's schedule

[StanHog]

Less than 10 points....not 10 points or less.

We won one in 2013 against Samford by 10:

Those were the good ole days. We sit around at work and reflect a lot on that 31-21 Samford game.
It was sweet!!!

[JackTNHogfan]

Jeff Long needs to bring this fact up to Coach B at the end of the season.  I believe they have a meeting at the end of every year to discuss progress.  This has to be the major topic of discussion.  This cannot continue or the fans will start flying banners and taking out ads in the major newspapers calling for his head.  I don't want that because it hurts recruiting and will deter new coaches from coming here but it will happen.  Fans can only be heartbroken so many times under one coach before needing a breather with a new one. 

[HoustonwehaveaProblem]

how about some of you idiots find CBB in a dark alley and tell him that man-to-man. 

Give me a glazed donut and a whistle and I'll have ole Bert running a no huddle spread offense next week

We don't have a elite playmaker. The freshman for a Texas A&m is better than any skill player on Arkansas roster. There is nobody on defense that is a difference maker. We have no one that is explosive on offense. That can make a big play whenever he touches the ball. The LB position is embarrassing. Greenlaw is the best LB on the roster.

[Danny J]

When there is no pressure on BA he is pretty good. When the pressure sets in....he just doesn't have the mental toughness to make the plays. That is the reality of the matter.

0-10 in games decided by 9pts or less speaks for itself. He has been given the chance time after time after time after time after time and not one play. He is just not equipped mentally to make those plays.

It is why I have said A&M is so pathetic.  LSU-like recruiting base and recruiting but still under coached and haven't won anything.  Would love to have many of A&M's athletes. 

[Swineasaur]

I just don't like the excuses CBB throws out. Has he ever stood up and said this loss was on me?

[sloot]

There's an incestuous relationship with a lot of the media members and teams they cover. They resist putting pressure on the coaches in fear of losing insider scoops and the like. Instead, they try to be buddy-buddy with them. Same with a lot of media members and politicians.

LOL, ironically I was at that game, we fell behind Samford and they took the ball out of BA hands and pretty much had him hand it to the running backs every down to come back and win the game, even in that game it wasn't BA who brought us back for the win...................

[Bacons Rebellion]

And, in the end, that makes them NOT playmakers.

[JackTNHogfan]

Didn't CBB have a poor close game record at Wisky too?  I seem to remember Wisky fans saying something to the effect of I'm glad he's gone he couldn't win a close/big game.

[bigbadhog]

Correct.  0-10 in games decided by 10 points or less.  What was Nutt's records in those type of games?  Dare I say Nutt was a better gameday coach?  I think I just vomited in my mouth a little...

BB is the worst game day coach I have ever seen.  Of course the wisky fans I know warned me that this would be the case...

#1 TE in college football. Basically we have gronc.  Next excuse?

Kind of wondering what Kyle Whittingham thinks he can do with the Arkansas Job? Hey at least he beat Bama and Saban once.

[JackTNHogfan]

I'm wondering what CBB is still doing coaching.  Wins still matter right???

[code red]

11-18 over all tho all is good

I totally agree and still don't understand what Long was thinking with the kind of players we had in place......to think what he could have done with Petrino's kids.

[WorfHog]

Have to start sitting players for getting all these penalties...game after game. I think we had 115 yards in penalties from a team and coach that prides itself on not "beating itself" before the snap. Well....someone has to be held to account.

Tied for 20 overall with 31 penalties.  Tied for 21 with 289 penalty yards. Eleven of those occurred last night for 93 yards. For the third week in a row we should have won, but beat ourselves.

At least we're Top 25 in something!

Second most penalized team in the SEC is Alabama at #32 with 27 for 268 yards.
