Why go for it there when tied?

[DerHntr]

Very weird call by Bielema. Maybe if they were on our 43 I could see it.

 

[57stratdawg]

That call will cost him his job (as if he hadn’t lost it already).

It might be the dumbest call I’ve seen this season.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

And why throw it?

 

[Philly Dawg]

That was a true head scratcher. Punt and they are in OT. Turn over on downs and we only need 15-20 yards for a FG.

 

[The Peeper]

Ranks right up there w/ "The O" call in Starkville.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Yea on 4th I would think you want more options than just a two man route.

I’m sure he figured he had nothing to lose. He’s fired anyway.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Bret has nothing to lose. Hell he can't even find his AD.

I'll be surprised if he survives the weekend. 7th loss, so no bowl, and that was one of many poor decisions in the game. Fire him now and maybe hire someone before early signing day.

Agree that he should be fired but it may be strange to have an interim fire him before the season is out. Just let it ride one more week. That place is a train wreck so anything it possible.

 

[Shamoan]

Totally disagree. He was done at Arkansas. 5-7 wasn't going to save him, as arky will likely lose to a resurgent mizzou.

 

[WrapItDog]

Bert was having hunger pains. OT wasn't an option

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Unbelievably dumb. But I personally would like to thank him for that.

 

[Shamoan]

Exactly. The moving truck was backed up to casa Burt two weeks ago

 

[hydrodawg]

They had an outside shot at a bowl game.

You have to play for the bowl revenue. 5-6 with one to play would keep his school in the running. That is the calculation he screwed up on.

 

[BossDawg78]

Strange call for sure, but I'd hug his fat *** for that call right now if I could. Might even buy him a beer or 3 and a steak dinner, too.

 

[Shamoan]

He was a dead man walking by most hog accounts. Ad already fired as a warmup.

One of the biggest misconceptions in all of college sports is that athletic directors, interim or otherwise, are actually the ones who fire the coaches. They are just the official messengers....never the decision makers.

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Stupid call, but if they made it, they probably win the game and every one that loves Bert would be talking about how likable he is and how his balls clank when he walks. That like the infamous Coach O call was for tsun, was the best thing for the university at this point. What support he still had just lost their voice.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

He knows he's gone

Very weird call by Bielema. Maybe if they were on our 43 I could see it.

And was just giving his buddy, Mullen, a gift.

 

[anon1787432961]

Balls out mentality

Like coach O in Starkville and freeze against ATM in the past

I think Brett is ready to go on vacation with his wife.

 

[West Tn Dawg]

I think Brett is ready to go on vacation with his wife.

Hell, I'm ready to go on vacation with his wife!
