4. Bret Bielema

Bret Bielema is doomed history well in the past and recent history. His SEC conference record is terrible and he’s coming off of a horrible non-conference loss to TCU. The Horned Frogs are a good program, but Arkansas got thoroughly embarrassed.

If they can’t even handle their conference play, no one should expect much out of them in the SEC. The hot seat is familiar territory here for Bielema and somehow he always pulls a magic trick to escape from it.

However, he might be at that point where he’s out of escapes and his team just can’t get the job done. Arkansas has to turn this season around fast and wake up if they’re going to save the job of their head coach.

They kick off conference play this week with a tilt against Texas A&M. This game is going to be sickly entertaining for those that are going to enjoy the very sight of two coaches having their programs fight for their job.

Both Bielema and Sumlin need wins in the absolute worst way. One coach is going to leave with a win while the other leaves one step closer to being sent packing. The intrigue in this one is certainly there.
