Arkansas coach John Calipari is under a lot of heat after his team suffered another loss. On Saturday, the Razorbacks were handed their fourth straight defeat and Calipari remains winless this season in the Southeastern Conference with a 0-4 record.

He is in his first year coaching Arkansas after a successful 15-year tenure at Kentucky that saw him lead the Wildcats to the 2012 NCAA title. With an 11-7 overall record this season, many deem his Razorbacks stint disappointing.

In the video of his postgame press conference uploaded by Hawgbeat.com on Youtube, Arkansas fans are not happy with the program's performance as they had hefty expectations before the season started.

"It wasn't a couple of three-minute spans. You started out 18-2. You cannot expect to play that way and win on the road, or even at home against good teams. Do better," another fan wrote.

The criticism towards Calipari also comes with the baggage he left at Kentucky, as others are bringing his time there into the conversation.

"I bet all those Arkansas fans are starting to realize what us, Kentucky fans, were saying about Cal'," one fan commented.

"I would bet A LOT of money that all those "stars" that followed Cal from KY are really regretting their decisions," another fan wrote.

"Kentucky fan here. His teams can never make shots. If they can, he won't use them right. We had Booker, and he didn't start. The Harrisons twins did. They didn't even make it to the NBA," a fan said.

Calipari and the Razorbacks will return to action on Wednesday as they aim for their first conference win against the No. 23-ranked Georgia Bulldogs.

John Calipari acknowledges how physical the SEC is and that Arkansas will have to revamp

During the postgame presser, Arizona coach John Calipari shared how physical and competitive the SEC is. Having coached in the conference with Kentucky for more than a decade, he said that he has to retool the Razorbacks' game plan with the coaching staff.

"The whole league is physical, and they got good players and coaches," Calipari said (03:20). "This is a hard league. We're gonna have to figure stuff out. They're not like, 'Okay, you got this game coming up.' No, it's everybody in the league who got games against really good teams. You gotta figure it out."

Arkansas' four-game losing streak is the first time Calipari has experienced it in his career. They will face his former team on Feb. 1 at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
