Mason decommits and commits to UPig

We just put our staff together a couple weeks ago and you idiots think we can't recruit..........

So did Arkansas

So did Arkansas

And the kid had a coach at HS influencing and pushing him there.

So did Arkansas

That probably helped more than hurt.

All Bielema showed was that he could only win 7 regular season games max with NFL players all over the roster

Lets not act like Bielema drastically underachieved. I know you do not want to hear this but Arkansas is a very difficult job in the modern day landscape of college football. You have money, but not a lot of readily available talent. An SEC school that is comparable to this is Tennessee, but they have much more allure than Arkansas, and are located near many high talent areas.

Bobby Petrino has a way of lifting fans' expectations above what they should be. He did it at Louisville and he did it at Arkansas. Outside of him, Bielema did the same type thing Nutt did, which is probably closer to the mean.

Bielema was close to getting it done, just never got over the hump. 2014 and 2015 will always be what-if type seasons.

I am not big on the Chad Morris hire. Just my own personal opinion. I do like that we will recruit Texas. I still say you should have brought Malzahn home, or paid Mike Norvell.

Players drafted in the last 10 years:

LSU 62
Alabama 58
Florida 56
Georgia 52
Arkansas 37

We don't have Alabama talent but he sure had a lot of talent to work with in 2014 and squandered it, he had one of the worst winning percentages in school history for a reason. We have the most players in the Super Bowl of any SEC team. Bielema was much worse than Nutt was. I guess I just don't see how having the most conference blowouts of any coach in Arkansas history in year 5 is close to getting it done.

Those draft picks are heavily weighted towards 5+ years ago before the TCU went to the Big 12, & A&M & Mizzou went the SEC.
