Ohio State, Michigan, and to a lesser degree Penn State are the only Big 10 schools who recruit an elite level. This allows Bielema to be successful in the Big 10. He is going to get outrecruited by such a wide margin by so many different SEC schools he will have a difficult time winning at anywhere near the same rate

I said 'pretty much'... the two teams better than them in the division were going through chaos.
take the scandal away from either and wisky wouldnt have gone, same for this year.
IMO, dude just got married and is already looking for an out...

Wisconsin was very good last year. Sounds like the Michigan "we had Rich Rod" excuse.

The most recent coach to leave the B1G for the SEC prior to Bielema?
Nick Saban.

And tOSU, Penn State, and Michigan were all "down" in the time period Bielema succeeded.
No way he does what he has to this point if he stays with Hoke, Meyer, and BOB bringing those programs back.

You said they didn't deserve it the last 2 years. This year they didn't, last year they did.

They deserved the ass kicking Oregon AND TCU (lol) handed them in the Rose Bowl.

Wisconsin had Russell Wilson on loan last year, they were good because of him; not because of Bert's coaching.
Just look at what Wilson has done as a rookie in Seattle.

Also, remember that Arkansas' AD Jeff Long is a midwest guy. He was born in Kettering, Ohio. Is a Wesleyan grad and worked at Michigan under Bo.

Wow. Absolutely shocked that this went down. Didn't see it coming. Let me be the first to tell Arkansas fans that you need to follow BeingBielema on twitter.

I see we have moved on to the acceptance stage very quickly, or are you just playing nice?
Good timing, too. Nothing like getting ready for the Rose Bowl and having your HC leave for a better job. Ouch.

Guy is a quality coach but a bad hire for Arky. No way he recruits well enough to line up with 2 TEs and run it right at Bama and LSU every year. This will move you closer to where Miss State is right now than where you guys want to go. And I bet his salary is going to be so high that firing him will be a problem in 4 years.

This.
Petrino showed the blueprint for Ark. Play great offense and hope the defense can hold on to win. I dont see him out-recruiting the rest of the SEC for elite SEC defensive talent and if you dont have a hell of an offense, you better have a good defense. Bama, LSU and Florida can all line up and play a ground and pound style offense because they have elite Olines, RB's on offense and, more importantly, have elite talent on defense. I dont see him bringing in that kind of talent to Ark.
Good coach but poor fit IMO.
