Bret Bielema Fired as Arkansas Head Coach After 5 Seasons With Team
Arkansas fired head football coach Bret Bielema after the Razorbacks finished the regular season with a 48-45 loss to Missouri on Friday.
Razorbacks sportscaster Bo Mattingly passed along the release that confirmed the coach's dismissal:
Bielema went 29-34 in five seasons at Arkansas. The Razorbacks finished with winning records in three of his five years with the program but never finished with more than eight victories.
Athletic director Jeff Long said in July that Bielema was not on the hot seat coming into 2017.
"Bret is the leader of our program," Long told SEC Country.
