Team stability was also an issue
When you lose 42 players to the transfer portal and replace them with 34 players from the portal, that doesn't exactly bode well for team chemistry.
I wouldn't doubt that a lot of the portal guys brought in have a mercenary's attitude.
Right move, but he’s a good coach
He will probably land a job somewhere with less expectations. If not, he will make someone’s OL really good for awhile until the next opportunity presents itself. Assuming he still wants to coach.
Replaced by oily scumbag Bobby Petrino. Arkansas is a dumpster fire that will burn all season.

Not surprised. He had that look of throwing in the towel with his players.

He already knew
Before the game, he had some hope of keeping his job, since the two losses previous to us, were close games against good teams. He was probably counting on the game being a shootout.
I'm pretty sure that the powers-that-be at Arkansas told him "win or else" probably setting the bar at not having a losing season.
With the remaining schedule, there's no way he'd be able to pull out a winning season, or even get to .500, barring some divine miracle.
At first glance, someone may think that they'll have a chance against Auburn, Mississippi State, and Missouri, but it's not looking good.
Auburn barely lost to what are now two top 10 teams and Mississippi State lost a close OT game to Tennessee. At this point, if Arkansas could get their offense going again, they could take one of these two with a lot of help from Lady Luck. This is possible, since Petrino can work some magic when it comes to the offense.
Missouri, even with its 5-0 start, will be exposed in the 2nd half of the season. I think Arkansas has a fair chance at winning.
For the rest of the games, they're going to lose, barring some meltdown by the stronger SEC teams.
The Razorbacks' remaining schedule:
@Tennessee
Texas A&M
Auburn
Mississippi State
@ LSU
@ Texas
Missouri
He won't be unemployed for long
Someone will gladly hire him as an offensive line coach, since he has definitely been a very good one throughout the years.
Once the landslide started, they had no fight

Coaches fault?

No but it usually falls on him.
