Bert gone

[pmack65]

He fired surpried****

 

[tatedog]

Back to back wins for Ole Miss. They never could figure that magnificent fat bastard out.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I kinda feel bad for him, although he could be an *******.

Dude can’t win close games.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I wonder if they actually have a legit shot at Gus.

 

[Croom's knee socks]

And all the buffets in NW Arkansas rejoiced.

 

[tatedog]

I wonder if they actually have a legit shot at Gus.

If Gus loses to Bama, not impossible. Hard to imagine him bolting after winning the west and likely the SEC and making the playoffs though. On the other hand, he could probably get Arkansas up and going pretty fast just like he did Auburn and stay there and happy for a long time unlike at Auburn.

 

[Carbaryl]

No program took a worse hit from expansion than Arkansas.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Does Jen need some comforting? Perhaps not, Bret's going to get between $5.9 to $11.1 million depending on the buyout interpretation....

 

[KurtRambis4]

Their defenses were

absolutely terrible under him.

 

[hogfan14]

absolutely terrible under him.

Yep. Except for 2014. Played way too conservative. 4th and 4? Let's play 10 yards off of the receiver.

Y’all were pretty solid in first first few years I thought. It seemed to turn around BAs last year when y’all started throwing it around a lot.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. I think the Iron Bowl decides where Gus coached next year. Lose, I think he goes home. Win, he gets an extension.

 

[was21]

Gus is an introvert personality wise (nothing wrong with it) but would probably be a better fit at Upig U...less spotlight and pressure and he could take the muzzle off his wife

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I hope Gus leaves, I think that’ll work out for us. It’ll be easier to beat Auburn without Gus and Steele.

Even if they both go to Arky, we prolly split wins against them there.

 

[NWADog]

Bert had a lot of bad breaks. Lost star running back in the spring. Best receiver at the beginning of the season. Star lineman and leader midway through the season. Senior star QB for half the season. All with a new DC. Could’ve easily beaten A&M, us, and Missouri if they had a few plays go their way and that could’ve had em at 7-4 and he might still have his job. He’s a good guy and loved by many but this fan base up here is so fairweather and bipolar... Everyone seems to think they have a legit shot at hiring Gus. He’s from up here and has said before that UPig is his dream job. It wouldn’t surprise me.

I honestly think he would still be here if he just had something small as a decent kicker the whole time. He was the best at losing close games in heartbreaking fashion I've ever seen, but also has the record for most blowout losses by an Arkansas coach.

Pretty weird tenure when you look at it all.

If the story is true, Arkansas is a classless program. Firing Brett BEFORE he leaves the field is reprehensible!

I realize that money changes people’s perceptions, but if they don’t get Malzahn, good luck getting a home run hire.

 

[tbaydog]

Money or buyout not an issue. Tyson, JB Hunt, Red Hudson, Jerry and Jimmy Jones and many more..

 

[DerHntr]

I understand doing it quickly, but firing him as he walks off the field shows a lack of respect for the man.

It was actually done in an office adjacent to the field. He said he preferred it done that way so that he could tell his players first before they all went home for the weekend and had to hear it over the phone or on social media.
