Arkansas fan begs to be unblocked by Kendal Briles on Twitter after Hogs beat BYU

A week ago, a healthy portion of the Arkansas Twitterverse was done with offensive coordinator Kendal Briles. They wanted him gone, finished with running the Hogs offense.

It was nutty then. It was even more nutty Saturday after the BYU game.

At least Briles’ trending on Twitter in Week 7 was for positive reasons. Postive enough, anyway. Largely it was folks eating crow, with one fan even going so far as to tweet at the offensive coordinator to unblock him.

Briles’ offense scored on eight straight possessions and dropped 52 points against the Cougars on the road, snapping a three-game losing streak. Arkansas had 644 yards of total offense, including a career-high in yards rushing for Rocket Sanders (175) and a career high in touchdown tosses for quarterback KJ Jefferson (five).

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman half-joked about the Briles situation after the game.

“Could you imagine getting on that plane losing? Oh, my Lord,” Pittman said. “Hearing how terrible I am and all that. How bad I need to fire KB and all this kind of stuff. C’mon. The man scored 50, we scored 50. I’m not getting into that. I’m so happy that we won.”

Kendal Briles needs to be fired

Understatement

Most won't admit they were wrong

Fire Kendal Briles, indeed, LOL

Begging will do you no good

Narrator: "He didn't"

Kendal Briles deserves it
