Arkansas fired Bret Bielema without haste today after a 48-45 loss to Missouri.
“I was informed coming off the field I would no longer be the coach at Arkansas,” Bielema said.

Well lane kiffen is 11-0 will end up going 12-0 with a team that was 0-15 prior to that. Question is where will he end up and has he proven himself to coach another major program again?
????? Since when is he 12-0?
And when do college teams play 15 games?
Playoffs
True. Usc fan edited his post. He said kiffin was 12-0 after taking over an 0-15 team. No 0 win teams play 15 games
Despite his moniker, as I’m sure you’ve realized, he is a troll. He claims to go to practices and knowing and talking to players personally. He’s also said that he was a d-1 player and a coach on a 2x d-1 national championship team.
Generally his post are foolish and never factually inaccurate. Sorry, I didn’t see his unedited post.
No worries. I have witnessed the d-1 coach comment. It’s funny.
Haha … god d”mn some of u idiots never learn
Why wait? He knows he’s been a goner for weeks already. The question is, what is NEB waiting on? Is it making Mike Riley feel any better to technically still have a job he doesn’t have anymore. Get it over with.
I always thought the tarmac firing was one of the things that Haden actually got right. The Kiffer just had to go (although I would have let him ride back on the bus). And now he’s already redeemed himself. Will be great to see The Kiffer get ahold of another large program and see what he can do!
Goat getting tarmaced was great and that POS can’t coach … he proven that over and over
What is crap conference he is in again
Well if he thinks Helton is a goner, I doubt he will happy this weekend. Maybe he’s aiming at Chub Kelly, maybe Arkansas can beat Ucla. I don’t see any reason we can’t get Teeball Martin sent out to Arkansas.
They fired Bielema faster than USC fired Kiffen after the game.
Ok thanks
ah, that makes sense. Thought he was trying to suggest that Arkansas out-did SC by firing their coach faster than SC fired Helton. Under that reading, it would be a new low for Scottie. Glad that wasn’t the meaning.
It wasn’t all Bielema being a bad coach, he really isn’t. But nobody wants to go to Arkansas, at least not if they have any other offers.
You are right. I stayed at a resort in Arkansas one summer and got an ear infection from humidity. Everywhere we went was deserted. It was strange like a post apocalypse scene.
Hillary had no other offers 40 years ago?
Great to see the Rose Bowl rocking with nearly 9000 excited Bruin fans.
#TakeARealGOODLookChip….
#…SoonThisWillAllBeYours
Chip was used to those sell-outs at ORE. It’ll be an adjustment for him. I’m really looking forward to seeing how he’s progressed from one of the most unpopular coaches in the NFL to now. No doubt he’ll wonder why it was so much easier at ORE when nobody had caught on to his scheme.
Yep. Winning the 2017 Chip is a real mixed blessing.
Do you think cal will run the “fake” fake punt, and let the punt returner take, they could fool the bruins?
Both CAL and ucla look horrible. But the fake directional punt might work on ucla again. That would be too good to be true, though.
Three stooges would do it.
If Wilcox has any bal*s, he’ll give it a shot.
#IfItWorksAgain,EndOfUCLAFootball
I REALLY do, Pudly.
They did a fake kickoff on them.
Yeah, ours worked so well that any coach would be stupid not trying it!
They almost broke it but a ruin made the tackle on the 35.
MG, I really don’t like this hire. Kelly has won in the conference before, and he now has the NFL experience. This is the best hire by sucla in many years. It’s dark clouds over SC football.
Here’s what I honestly think, RT —- Kelly will not be as overall successful at UCLA as he was at Oregon. He’s gonna win his 9 games every year but never get to the play offs. BUT —-he’s gonna bring hell fire in the USC/UCLA game. Helton needs to upgrade his staff pronto —if he doesn’t, shame on both Helton and Swann.
MG, neither of us knows exactly what kind of accomplishments Kelly would put up at sucla, but we must think that he’s an improved coach compared to in his days at Oregon because he has the NFL experience under his belt now no matter how it wasn’t so stellar. I’m sure you remember how much people were making fun of Pete Carroll’s initial NFL career. Even though he wasn’t an winner in the NFL, he still utilized that experience in his college coaching career as well as in his much more successful second NFL career. On paper, Kelly makes a considerably better candidate for a college head coach because he has the head coaching experience in college that Carroll didn’t have at the time of his hire at SC. Either of us will turn out to be wrong eventually, but I think this hire has warning signs against us all over it. Helton VS Kelly…which one would you choose, MG? My choice certainly doesn’t have a last name that starts with an H.
Which coach would I go with? I’d go with the one who had a quarterback with a last name starting with D.
#PleaseComeBackSam
LMAO!!! Yeah, Darnold would be quite an asset against the little gutties with their new HC with a facade of Donald Duck next year. But what about years beyond that? Will there be The Coyote and The Roadrunner to steal the show for our team?
#We’llNeedSomeHelpMG!
Sam had to chuckle at the thought that NFL teams actually consider him a first round draft choice after that performance last night.
Sam is ONE good quarterback coach away from being NFL-ready & knowing what he’s doing. Get the guy the BEST quarterback coach available, Swann. You owe him that much.
I believe Jim Mora had 25 years of NFL Experience on top of what he learned from his dad…How’s that work out?
But woefully little experience with doe-eyed college coeds…
One great thing about those “doe eyed college coeds” —-they seem to have a penchant for falling out of love about one half second after a fella gets fired.
There’s a huge difference between Mora and Kelly. Mora wasn’t a college head coach anywhere. Kelly? You know the answer, don’t you?
I know the answer, RT…
#…ButIWishIDidn’t
MG, I’m not having a very good day.
#UhOh…
USC will be fine, RT. (1) I hope this move didn’t catch us by surprise (Mora looked like a dead man walking since the Memphis game) and (2) I hope Swann is as smart as Jack thinks he is —and has been lining up some world class coaching talent for Sam and our offense.
#BuckUp,MyFriend!
I don’t like it either, but only because I think Mora was so bad it made Helton look good. Kelly 2017 probably won’t be as good as Kelly of 2010, but he may be better than Helton. Just no faith anymore in the Camp Counselor. This season took any confidence I had in Helton completely away….
They must’ve comp’d a lot of tickets.
8000 junior high kids bussed in.
That left @ 733 from the early release program from the women’s prison in Chino.
I bet Chancellor Blockhead didn’t even show.
Busy caning the Shanghai Three.
Was that counting peanut vendors?
Yes, of course (they’re always counted in a Rose Bowl game)…..but, this time, it was decided to include the Fox Sports One audience, too.
And Petros of course.
How could I forget Petros?
Kelly to be the next coach at UCLA.
He told espn he will take the bruin job.
Should Kelly fear what he’s getting into? To borrow a reply from Homer: “No, he should only fear the Trojan sword passing through him.”
Why not mention why Baker Mayfield is still a part of the OU program. If he was at any other major program (let’s say USC) he would have been dismissed from the team and no Heismen consideration. It was embarrassing to watch what this kid did on national television and still be allowed to play in this Saturday game.
how about sit him for at least a quarter
No it deserves a whole game.
Baker’s a wild, angry guy. Crazy chip on his shoulder.
Already has the Heisman in the bag. That’s weird too.
What did you think of rosen running out with the seniors?
I think he’s gone, for sure. Dude’s a helluva thrower. Could you believe some of those back shoulder throws to Lasley and Howard for TDs? Those passes aren’t even defendable by NFL corners I don’t think. Crazy.
I’m just glad USC beat him twice and roughed him up in the process. I love those strip-sacks the best!
Gotta give him credit for throwing a very smooth ball. Looks very catchable for sure, and his placement has been great so far tonight.
I just wonder why he was slamming his helmet on the ground right before halftime, concussion?
Don’t know why he was a little nuts there. Maybe he was just upset with the grounding call, even thought it was obvious. Or maybe he missed something we all can’t see and he just wants his last game in the RB to be great. Three years goes pretty fast.
He’s throwing so well. It’s mind-boggling to think ucla, and all their talent, couldn’t win with him.
He’s being checked for injury before he comes out for 2nd half, so maybe he hurt his shoulder on that last slam down.
Midstream starts second half a qb for ruins!
New life for the Bears! Hopefully, they will come back and beat the little gutties now. Against Rosen, I don’t think it was doable.
Go bears?
Beat the ruins.
No, just can’t do it. Can’t they both lose?
Can’t bring myself to root for any team in blue and gold, no matter the shade.
Lesser of two evils and keeps ucla out of another bowl game.
Sc beat him 3 times. He was on the team last year even though he did not play
I will give him that he is a great thrower. But he is also a great quitter. Don’t think he will make it in the pros.
And he’s as fragile as Waterford Crystal.
Selfish on his part. Lash let did the same thing. Good riddance to an 0-3 loser against usc
Exactly!
He’s a jerk but Kansas not shaking hands before the game showed no class either and included little kids. Bad look all around and if you’ve only won 1 game all year like Kansas, it’s even worse.
If there a word that’s more derogatory than “sad”, I’d go with that —-but sad works pretty well, Sam.
#ItDescribesEverythingAboutUCLA
Dan Guerrero was brilliant to triple the price
for long time season ticket holders and run off the alumni yell leader.
Well, I guess he decided to improve the product rather than lower the price. We will see if the product improves. Bruins open in Norman next year.
It looks like SteveG, who said he is never wrong, was wrong for the first time. UCLA stepped up financially. Casey Wasserman wants a real team. Chip has a job to do.
Congrats!
“Congrats.” That’s what you say when someone has scored a major triumph. But it’s also what you say when your worst enemy has taken your crazier than a loon girlfriend off your hands.
Lol
I am still right, I just don’t know who to feel sorry for, Chip or ucla. This will be a marriage from hell and will cost ucla the 9 mil buyout. Vegas will have a line on how long till ucla gets investigated and get sanctions with Chip doing a Pete Carroll and bailing out.
$4.66 per year for 5 years.. Chip will leave a mess when another NFL team comes calling.. Good luck with that..
After his history in the NFL he will not get another call.
He certainly will.
Can it get worse than the mess he inherited?
Time will tell.. Lol
I hope so.
Oh, so when you said that Chip Kelly wasn’t coming to UCLA, you were right?
Interesting take. It may fail. It may work. But so far, on yiur initial statement you were wrong twice. The other one was when you said you were never wrong. Zero for two so far.
And Richard was right!
Yes he was. I had read the same stuff but Kelly has been known to change his mind, so I was waiting.
#ItDescribesEverythingAboutUCLA
That’s what the pilot who flew over the Rose Bowl with the “Fire Mora” Banner was thinking about the Bruin fans who didn’t take they’re assigned seats and left a sea of bleachers untouched.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
Ha! A sea of of bleachers untouched! What a wonderful UCLA metaphor, Sam!
It must have felt like a Spring Game to the fans who were there in person.
Ha! They all feel like Spring Games to the brubabe fans, Sam! All 9000 of them!
Both Bear Mascots didn’t even have show up.
Hilarious, Sam. [They NEVER have to show up]!
The Trojan Family is waiting for the following headline and corresponding blog: DAILY NEWS OUTDOES ARKANSAS
Daily News fires Eeyore (a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey) without haste.
Funn.
Excellent!
MD and SJB heading for another collision in the CIF-SS finals as both teams lead comfortably in second half.
Rosen quit again. Real good team player. He blames it on a problem with his shoulder
I have a sneaking suspicion that darn “shoulder injury” keeps poor Rosen out of UCLA’s prestigious bowl game…
#WhyNotBeHonest&JustSay”NoMoreUclaFootballForMe”…..
#….”NFLHereICome!”
I was shocked he even played the first half of the Losers Bowl last night.
The first half provided him with the cover he needs for skipping UCLA’s bowl game,gt. [He repeated his ‘Heston- writhing- on- the- ground -at -the -end- of- Planet- of -the Apes- pose’ to sell it].
Chosen Rosen made Roto Rooter Jr look like a bush-leaguer head to head. Herbstreet on National feed said Roto Jr is no where NEAR ready for pros.
the great part is he will go pro regardless. Chosen One is a lock at #1 pick.
and now CHIP is coming!!!!!!
#Uh-OhSpaghetti-O!!!!!!!
Poor coaching made Darnold look pedestrian, not UClowns.
#HappyFeet
#FumbleFingers
#WildThowingINTMachine
#RotoRooterJr
Darnold is 3-0 against ugly. Rosen the loser is 0-3. Rosen has thrown about five interceptions and for or five fumbles against sc. Give me Darnold. He won’t quit like Rosen.
Brute, lay down the meth pipe and try to write coherently. What are you trying to say?
Rosen is all show and no go. He looked pretty but is still a LOSER against USC. He is 0-3. If sc can keep him losing what do u think the pros will do to Him? He will lose there. Rosen is a loser just like u Convicts of LA
once again the Dummies up till midnight hoping for a Bruins loss!!
HAWR-HAWR!!! Bowl game anyone??? ?
#AndHereComesChip!!!!
You hanging around here at midnight is far more pathetic.
At least the ruins don’t have to beg to be in a bowl this year.
So mind-numbingly hilarious here to see all the little gutty Trolls exuberant here over a last second win over fellow bottom feeder/loser CAL – and simultaneously desperate for Show Cause Kelly to become their next so-called savior.
Too funny! Go Trolls Go! Celebrate your entry into the worthless bowl club. You are on your way to yet another bruin milestone and a warmed over, boorish, failed, retread/racist NFL coach.
HAWR-HAWR!!! so ugly when you’re bitter, Trranny-Tran-Tran!!
UCLA did NOT have a Playoff Team this season, we knew it and went undefeated at home, made a bowl game!!! so i’d say our season was a mild Sucess!!
the O-Jays, on the other hand had top talent and EVERYONE picked them for playoffs!! BUT they have no respect from the comittee and aren’t going ANYWHERE except some meaningless bowl game!!
and Roto Rooter Jr has been exposed as a happy-footed turnover machine…..but he has to go pro anyways on account of his Pappy wanting to end his plunger duty!!!
we BOTH know this season was a BUST for the trOXans!!! and now CHIP is coming to continue his reign over the Pac-12!!! you better get yourself some chicken soup, Trranny-tran-tran!!!!
#BruinsRising!
Anything you say Roid Boy. 28-23. Thanks for bending over yet again this year. It was so bruin of you. I know you predicted a little gutty win over USC and you were wrong again.
Have some more turkey. You’re going toilet bowling!
Anybody using that picture is exactly the opposite.
Losing to USC for a third straight year is a mild success in ruinville.
Life is like a box of chocolates..
Every time the bruins rise, they flop. Historically speaking.
Yet we continue to beat the little gutties. Ho hum.
How much does Arizona Hoops suck, by the way? Has a #2 team in the nation EVER lost 3 straight games, all during the week was technically ranked #2? I doubt it. Check Elias, Scottie.
Funny stuff. USC was chosen by some on Gameday, in a blind resume challenge based on wins, sor, and sos. With the right results, there remains a crack through which we can enter.
Read an article on cbssports that unanimously chose stanfurd over nd, both straight up and against the spread, also a majority chose WSU over UW in the road apple cup.
PAC12 is everywhere!
When former Oregon St coach is fired today at Nebraska, it’ll be done by former Washington St AD!!
USC outdone by Arkansas…sounds about right. Other schools are looking to make the right hire in order to win national championships, USC settling for second rate flunkies. It would be funny if it weren’t so damn embarrassing.
Fire Lynn Swann…talk about worthless. That guy has been holed up who knows where doing who knows what.
But Max Nikias is never going to fire either of his “Yes Men”.
Pond scum will do this to you, please put down your spoon, Hillbilly Troll! Give it up and go back to you’re little backwater sec campus and pound sand.
Predictions:
AUB beats ALA today in Auburn. Tide favored by 4.5
ND beats STAN in Palo Alto. Irish favored by 2.5
WSU beats UW in Seattle. Huskies favored by 10.5
OHIO ST beats MICH in Ann Arbor. Bucks favored by 12
Should be a great day of college football. I wish both STAN and MICH would win, just don’t see it.
Kelly confirmed as ucla coach.
UCLA JUST HIRED CHIP KELLY
KELLY AND UCLA WILL OWN SECOND RATE CLAY HELTON WORTHLESS LYNN “I’M MAX NIKIAS YES MAN” SWANN AND USC…BOOK IT!
Just like Mora owned LA.
Football will be interesting in LA for a while. Bring in Chip, can’t wait. Fight On!
About ten months until he’s found to be the same guy who lost his players in philly and SF.
It’s a great splash hire by the bruins and terrific for the Pac-12 image. Not a sure thing by a long shot, no matter what silly Trolls say, but the expectations for a better USC/ucla rivalry going forward just shot up 100%. Good!
Kelly failed super bad in the NFL, but a lot of people still think he’s a college coaching genius. Kelly getting over $4M annually. Great financial deal for bruins here because Kelly still reaping NFL payoff riches.
Jack, the only upside he brings is that the conference will have more interest and so more exposure. I’ll stand by my statement that his system is no longer novel and actually no longer innovative.
I say he’ll be an improvement over Mora. For a school with the low football tradition of ucla, you’ve gotta admit this is a pretty big fish to reel in, though I agree, Kelly won’t duplicate his ORE success at ucla.
I also think the Show Cause Chip hire will light a fire under Helton – which is fantastic! This is just what Helton needed to force his hand if he wants to keep his job. Next moves belong to USC and they have to be made. So this ucla move is good for all involved IMO.
First things first, CCG then early signing period then Bowl game, the rest will take care of itself.
As far as coaches go, I have no feeling whatsoever on what’s happening. It’s such a transient profession at the best of times. But after the new rb coach making such a big splash, I believe, as always, change can be good.
I’ve still got to ask myself, how many retread coaches actually work out? Spurrier at So Carolina? Urban at tOSU, Saban at bama, so yeah, there is that possibility, but he’s not that type of power football coach, so we’ll see.
And Pete, our retread.
I meant from one college team to be successful at another..but he’ll do either way!
Never saw so many people get so upset so quickly..they must be wetting themselves they’ laughing so hard on the ruin sites. I used to think Trojans were a tougher group, now many react like…
Will be interesting to see how Kelly hiring affects Helton. Whether he likes it or not, heat is on him now to improve USC and fix staff problems. Hiring in Wimpwood is good for both Trojans and bruins.
It will take Chip a couple of years to get where ucla wants to be, wherever that is. By then the Pac has his offense figured out and the playing field will level. I hope ucla becomes competitive and brings back the fun of close games with USC. But then there needs to be changes in coaching at USC or they will be the same team next year or worse
UCLA outdoes USC…Hires Chip Kelly
How many times you going to post the same thing? The moonshine is affecting your short term memory. Stop drinking so early in the am. Hillbilly Troll.
Memo to USC…get in the Scott Frost Sweepstakes!
Nevermind USC, you’re not interested in getting better, you’re okay with staying Second Rate
Guess who is the next Bruin coach? Goodnight sccc. We’re about to own you for at least a decade.
No, you’re going to owm those Idiots Lynn Swann, Clay Helton and Max Nikias
Never heard that before…
Typical Troll. Always the big talkers; always the nation’s most underachieving football program.
Can’t wait to watch USC beat ucla again in the Rose Bowl next season. That’ll be win #50 for USC in the rivalry. ucla’s still stuck way back there at lowly 31.
“Dynasty”…hmm…UCLA has been irrelevant in football for 25 years. Completely irrelevant. Iowa is ahead of you in that time. Virginia Tech. Oklahoma State. Wisconsin. Almost half of college football.
It is a .500 program, with a 9-3 season occurring every 7 or 8 years.
When are your shoplifters back?
Clay Helton vs Chip Kelly…BWA HA HA HA HA!
Good hire for the excitement seekers…he does recruit well,and good at getting the best JC all americans too…expect fireworks and lots of hyperbole…Mora couldn’t coach’em up after his q/b left a few years ago…takes more than just a passer these days…Kelly knows that well…so Helton and Co is in the gauntlet, and the AD too…
Remember the excitement when Neuheisel first showed up?
I remember when they hired Red Sanders too,and Prothro…Rick was a successful coach at Colorado and Washington,and part of Moras early success was Ricks recruits…; there is never a dull moment in football…Chip Kelly dominated Pac12 ,not the top of college football, they lost to the real football teams…fight on.
You can talk bravely but you do know it’s over. Kelly will out coach, out recruit and whip Helton every year. He destroyed his rivals.
You speak in past tense, which is usually all you have anyway. Kelly is no all that but enjoy your “victory”.
Absolutely right – all UCLA has is the past…the long ago past…and that is what Kelly has as well…success in the past, back in 2012 and a failed NFL career.
Don’t forget running from the NCAA.
Funny to see to a little gutty use the word “bravely” on a USC message board. ucla, the wimps of L.A. football.
USC 49, ucla 31 – Where has all your “bravery” been little gutty?
ucla and Show Cause Chip – desperate partners.
