Bret Bielema – Arkansas Razorbacks

2014 Record: 7-6
2015 Record: 1-2
Seat Temperature: Hot

When you reside in the SEC West, and your only victory is against UTEP (combined with losses to Toledo and Texas Tech)…yeah, your seat is getting pretty hot.

Add to that the fact that Bret Bielema has done way too much talking for a guy who’s still trying to figure out how to win regularly, and you’ve got a real mess on your hands. Bielema has been fed plenty of karma in response to his words in the last two week, and now he’s going to be coming up against some pretty tough SEC opponents.

The Razorbacks are staring down the barrel of Texas A&M, Tennessee and Alabama for their next three games. If the Hogs lose to TAMU, you might see Bielema gone. If by the time they leave Tuscaloosa on Oct. 10, they still don’t have an SEC win, it’s almost a sure thing.

The only thing that is saving, and may still yet save Bielema, is the amount of money Arkansas has invested in him and how much it would take to buy out his contract.
