The move that just about everyone anticipated would happen is now official. After a 4-8 season, Bret Bielema has been fired as the Razorbacks’ coach.
Media received the press release before they were all seated for the post game press conference. Bielema (who still did the post game press conference) said he was told he would be fired while still on the field.
Bielema: "I was informed coming off the field I would no longer be the coach at Arkansas."

Just about everyone expected Bielema to be fired, and none would have batted an eye if it had happened tomorrow.
