1. Bret Bielema, Arkansas

Any hopes Razorback fans had of possibly sneaking into a bowl game went out the window following Arkansas’ nail-biting loss to Mississippi State, 28-21. Many expect Bielema to be gone regardless of the outcome of this Saturday’s match-up with a bowl-bound Mizzou team.

Needless to say the Bielema era (or error depending on who you ask) was a huge disappointment for Arkansas supporters.

Many thought Bielema would bring the same kind of success he had endured at Wisconsin. But a 29-33 record over five seasons will not keep you employed at many schools, especially in the SEC and even more so in a division with the mighty Crimson Tide of Alabama. Bielema could briefly boost morale with a win over the Tigers, but in the end it will likely not be enough to save his job.
