Arkansas fans sound off on social media about Bret Bielema

We are just two games into the 2017 football season, and Arkansas Razorbacks fans are already disappointed with head coach Brett Bielema.
Bielema has certainly had a rough time trying to turn the Razorbacks program around, and fans of the Hogs seem to have had enough. The Razorbacks started strong last season with a 4-1 record through the first half that included a 41-38 OT victory at TCU. Unfortunately, the Hogs finished 2016 with a 3-5 record over the second half of the season that was capped off by a 35-24 loss to Virginia Tech in the Belk Bowl that saw Arkansas get outscored 35-0 in the second half.
Arkansas’ first big game of the season came Saturday afternoon when the faced off against No. 23 TCU at home. The Hogs offense never got on track and the defense allowed 14 fourth quarter points in the 28-7 loss. It was not a good look, and fans took to social media to voice their displeasure of Bielema.

SEC Mike also noted that Bielema’s career record at Arkansas is back below .500:
Bret Bielema's winning percentage at Arkansas went over .500 with last season's win at TCU. He's back to below .500 with this loss vs TCU
