2017 is a make or break year for Bret Bielema. He needs a 9 or 10 win season or I think he could be gone.
Apparently he has a $15 million buyout after this season. Not sure how much it drops after the 2017 season.

He is just north of $4MM a year through the 2020 season. That is just over $16 - so if his buyout is $15 as reported it is pretty close to every thing he would be owed for the 4 years. Based on that I would guess his buyout next year would be $10-11 million.

I can't think of any other thing in the world where people can get paid so much for not living up to expectations and getting fired. Eventually you would think school administrations would wise up and stop offering giant buyouts.

Yup..I agree 100% my friend..I just don't see The Hawgs keeping Bert around with these kinda results..As strange as this may sound..I think the Arkansas job is a perfect fit for Les Miles..

Can Arkansas really expect much more considering they are in the SEC West during the Saban era?
They only play Bama one time per year, so if you remove Bama entirely from their record Bert's still 10-18.

I don't think it's expecting too much to be better than .357 against your own conference (.313 including Bama).
