2. Bret Bielema
Arkansas is at that point where they have to start producing victories if Bret Bielema is going to stick around. He might have been given a little bit of a leash considering they just had their most brutal stretch of the season.
Life in the SEC is never easy and each week is a serious grind. However, the schedule starts to open a little bit as much as it can in the conference and that means his team needs to tack on victories.
Coaches can get a pass when they lose to Alabama, Auburn and schools of that ilk. However, against the lesser competition in the conference is when a school especially like Arkansas needs to take care of business.
Bielema’s seat is probably the hottest that it’s ever been and it might take a miracle at this point. That being said, he wouldn’t still be in charge if he wasn’t going to be given a chance to coach for his job.
Up next for Arkansas is a road game against Ole Miss. If they can handle their business on the road, it could help things out greatly.
