Loser – Bret Bielema

In a game that came as absolutely zero shock to anyone, the Arkansas Razorbacks went on the road and got blown out by Alabama. Bret Bielema added yet another SEC loss to his total and his team’s losing record took a step further.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the program views this game. If they do soon decide to make the move to go in a direction, it won’t be because of this one game and rather a cumulative total of his entire tenure.

The only question is when do they get to that point? Up next is a home game against Arkansas and that could be the one. After LSU managed to come back and get them on the road, Bielema might get his chance at home to see if he can pull out a win as well.

Arkansas was always going to lose to Alabama, so it’s hard to see them making the move now. If the school was willing to keep him around to get blown out by the Crimson Tide, it makes sense he’ll be able to coach next week at home.

If he drops that one, then it’s anyone guess and his time could certainly be up. In a year of chaos in college football, it’s almost impossible to rule out anything impossible happening at this point to say the least.
