His OL coach left for the same position at Georgia. Bert was not happy - http://www.sbnation.com/college-foo...-bielema-sam-pittman-arkansas-georgia-meeting

"Arkansas lost offensive line coach Sam Pittman to the same position at Georgia, and coach Bret Bielema wasn't happy. In what was apparently a last-ditch effort to keep Pittman, or get him to explain himself, Bielema took the offensive linemen to Pittman's house.

"This one took place within the conference, and I just wanted Sam to address the linemen as to why this was happening," Bielema said Saturday. "I thought that was the last thing he could do, and he didn't want to do that, so I just took them to him."

Pittman refuted that he refused to meet with the players. He said he was waiting until the next day.

Bielema has been miffed about losing assistant coaches before. Pittman got a raise to stay at Arkansas after Alabama expressed interest, and he left Wisconsin due partly to an inability to keep his assistants, who were getting more money elsewhere."

As the story says, assistant pay was supposedly one of the reasons Bert left. Well going to the $EC hasn't seemed to stop his assistants from leaving...
