Not surprising. Our own "fans" trash him, too.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

I actually got a good laugh out of it.  I hope come Saturday night around 7:00 or 8:00, Coach Bielema is laughing too.

[razorbackkid]

Not anything new in the article attached to that pic.  Nobody in the media thinks we have a snowball's chance in hades to win the game.

I think we do.  :razorback:

[HawgTide]

SQUEEE???

When did Robert Shields start writing cartoons?

[RyeHogFan]

In Alabama, that's considered classy.

[razorbackkid]

SQUEEE???

When did Robert Shields start writing cartoons?

That pic made Coach B's butt look big.....Jen's gonna be pissed! 

[ChauvinistPig]

Alright, any cartoonists on Hogville? Need to retaliate!

[Inhogswetrust]

I used to love the game day cartoons in the paper.............................and the after game one's usually as well.

[The NewEra]

I actually got a good laugh out of it.  I hope come Saturday night around 7:00 or 8:00, Coach Bielema is laughing too.

And that they can add Gus to the picture squashed under Coach B.

He makes himself a pretty easy target...

[Fort Dweller]

That's gotta sting.  He's probably gonna cry himself to sleep on his pile of money after he slams his hot wife.  Wonder if he'll ever get over this cartoon?   

[cosmodrum]

He makes himself a pretty easy target...

Not really, he just has a group of tool bags that monitor every little thing he says and does to use against him because of their dumbass agenda.

Don't spoil it for them.  They think they're doin God's work.

True...win a SEC game....and cartoons stop.

[bigbadhog]

Not really, he just has a group of tool bags that monitor every little thing he says and does to use against him because of their dumbass agenda.

That and the fact that he likes to run his mouth before he ever wins and SEC.  Good thing his blind supporters don't have an agenda...

WOW!  Great, and truthful shot!  You out did yourself with this one!!  WPS

[ricepig]

You guaranteeing that?

[lumphog]

I'm behind CBB 100%.....you will be too Saturday night

[SuperHog32]

True...win a SEC game....and cartoons stop.

gotta call complete BS on this.  there are those among our "fans" who will never like Coach Bielema because he's not the evi knevil football coach who was here before smile.

[cosmodrum]

OH NOES HE TALKS

And allbedam if "blind supporters" isn't one of the dumbest things I see on this board.

It's not "BLIND supporters," it's just "supporters." I support him. I can see things for myself. But thanks.

[razortaz]

The haters will hate BB can go undefeated and they will say yeah but he went 0-8 in the SEC his first year and his style is boring. Just shut your darn pie hole and give the guy a chance. You do realize this will be his fist FULL year as the coach

[cosmodrum]

Just darn your pie hole

*giggles because grown child

[code red]

You guaranteeing that?

We are dealing with Alabamians so no.

[code red]

Ummmmm you do know AL is a Alabama based site....right?

[rightdp]

Then there are "fans" like me.  I do not like CBB as our coach because I do not believe he will be successful here. It has NOTHING to do with any previous coach.  I promise you I want him to change my mind.  If he lasts 3 more years and we're competing for an SEC championship, I'll admit I was wrong about him and I'll be his biggest fan.  I just don't believe that will ever happen.

[HamIAm]

I see the paper didn't waste any money on a cartoonist.

But do you at least support him for now?

[redeye]

According to the article, Gus had Auburn prepare by playing with wet balls.

I hope our guys all wear cups.

Don't you think it's a little silly to base whether or not you like our coach on what YOU predict his success to be. Wouldn't it make more sense to give him a chance and then, if he doesn't make it here, just say "Well, I gave him a shot, but he just couldn't do it"?

+1000 that is my thought exactly give him a chance but some people won't because he is not who they wanted

So you have already made up your mind without giving the guy a chance to prove one way or another Wow.

His success has absolutely nothing to do with me.  He doesn't care whether or not I give him a shot.  I do support him, though.  He's actually a great guy. Heck, because he is here, I sit on the 50 yard line with the staffs' families every home game   It would be foolish of me to hope he fails.  It's just my humble opinion that he will not be very successful here.  I think his philosophy is much like Muschamp's at Florida.

[Chief Mac]

That and the fact that he likes to run his mouth before he ever wins and SEC.  Good thing his blind supporters don't have an agenda...

in "blind supporters" you mean people with half a brain that are willing to be patient while a coach, that has better credentials than any EVER hired before him, rebuilds the program.  The same "blind supporters" that will call for his head if his plan doesn't work.

there is a big difference between Muschimp and Bielema.  The biggest being 7 years of head coaching experience and conference titles to his resume.  Muschamp is a very good defensive coordinator....poor head coach.  Kinda like Chizik

What the Frank would you call appropriate pregame conversation? Your standards for "running his mouth" are very low. The moment he hits the threshold of trash talking, I'll be all over that. To date he hasn't come close. But he has had plenty of people try to spin it to that level. Easier story to write than actually paying attention.

[rightdp]

I will add this though. If he can stumble across an elite quarterback who can scramble, then this offense will work...  but then again, what offense wouldn't want to go like that...   I rarely saw a passing play last year that was designed for more than two receivers to get open to catch the ball.  Many times there is only one target for the quarterback to throw to.  The quarterback in this system has very few options which usually causes him to either throw into tight coverage or just throw the ball into the stands.  All we need is another Russell Wilson I guess.  Again, just my worthless opinion..

Now that does not make the least bit of sense. Are you an Arkansas fan or not?

limitation at QB (due to injury) led to the scaled back offense you saw last year, nothing more or less.

You have no idea how much I hope you are right!

[Ironhawg]

^^^This.^^^  Plus, you do understand that CBB has a completely different offensive coordinator than he had at Wisconsin; one who believes in throwing the ball down the field?

[wholehog92]

while a coach, that has better credentials than any EVER hired before him,

Danny Ford said to say hello.

[Chief Mac]

Danny Ford said to say hello.

very true....forgot about Ford's natty at Clemson. 

[OTTER]

There are those who never considered that fact, or do not know enough about the staff to make an informed statement.  Time will tell, and time is what this staff needs. 

[rightdp]

^^^This.^^^  Plus, you do understand that CBB has a completely different offensive coordinator than he had at Wisconsin; one who believes in throwing the ball down the field?

THIS was my hope last year.  Just never saw it.  And not just throwing the ball downfield.  Throwing down field into triple coverage is no good either.  I don't even care about only throwing 35-40% of the time.  I would just love to see an intelligent scheme with multiple targets.  I never saw that ONCE last year.  I know Chaney has that in him.  Maybe they didn't trust BA, who knows.

I can almost begin to reason with this line of thinking as I feel somewhat the same about Mike Anderson.

This opinion was worthless and filled with inaccuracies.  You described Nutt's roll the qb and cut the field by 2/3 with one possible receiver or the Georgia Tech offense.  Not what we saw ie going 5 wide at Bama.  But acknowledging that wouldn't fit into your narrative of lie, bigger lie, bigger lie to try and make a point.  That isn't necessary.  Plenty of real reasons to be critical when the team goes 3-9/0-8.  I don't have an issue when someone wants to be critical as long as they aren't using lies to do it.

It's ok.  Jesus loves you anyways

That and the fact that he likes to run his mouth before he ever wins and SEC.  Good thing his blind supporters don't have an agenda...

Speaking of those who run their mouth and haven't won anything....just saying...Pot/Kettle.

[Science Fiction Greg]

You have to be a bleeding clam to think he's been "trash talking."  Good lord, girls.
