Bret Bielema to Arkansas

  • Didn't he just say "it's good to be a Badger" like 3 days ago? Guess its not.

    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.

    On top of that Bobby P was one of the best judges of offensive talent around and was running a scheme nobody else in the SEC was using. So even though he couldn't beat you for a AJ Green or Julio Jones he was going to find kids who could play and coach them up. Then in the one week you had to prepare for his team he was going to do things you weren't going to be faced with any other time of the season.

    Arky needed to go Air Raid, HUNH, Pistol or something different. Lining up and trying to be a poor man's Alabama is going to get you killed.

    But what will he do when he can't run up the score on Indiana any more?!

    Still better than Sumlin. Congrats on Manziel. Once he's gone y'all will fall back to earth like auburn with cam.

    It will be after next year when Manziel bolts for the NFL after 2 Heismans and he won't rely on his daddy to buy him a camaro to stay away from booze during the season

  • I always thought Bielema was a good coach, but I'm watching from afar, and only sometimes. Who cares if he's a prick if he gets the job done? This isn't golf.

    This in a nutshell. He kept Wisconsn going and took it to new levels recruiting-wise given our lack of dough and history/tradition. Wisconsin fans are running scared thinking we'll hire some crappy coach.

    If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope He likes enchiladas, because that's what He's getting

  • I don't understand the negativity towards this hire. Bielema won 3 straight Big 10 titles and is leaving after doing so. Pretty impressed Arkansas was able to steal him like that, must be offering him a boatload of cash. I realize Wiscy lost 5 games this year and shouldn't have been in Indy but all 5 losses were close ones and he has like 4 seasons out of 7 with 10 or more wins.

    How you can be negative towards hiring a coach who just won the Big 10 title by 39 points and got his team to 3 straight Rose Bowls is beyond me. Hell, last year if it weren't for 2 hail mary's they would've been in the national title game. I don't know how good a recruiter he is or will be able to be in SEC country when it's a foreign land to him, and I don't know anything about his douche factor but as long as he wins, who cares? Great hire, IMO.

    You and the guy above me are complete fools. He sucks because he got to 3 straight Rose Bowls and lost the first 2? Are you serious? Arkansas has been to ONE BCS bowl game and they lost it. This isn't Alabama, Florida, LSU...this is Arkansas. Name a realistic candidate who would have been better. Someone who has been a head coach before, been to multiple BCS bowls, won multiple conference championships at a BCS school.

    Name one.

    The last two conference titles are a moot point and only further spot lights your ignorance everytime you bring them up.

    Charlie strong would've been a much better coaching choice... you'll soon see how awful this guy is, until then please stop reading skewed statistics to attempt to prove your point.

    How is it a moot point? Because OSU didn't win them? Jealous OSU fan is jealous.

  • How is Bielema a douchebag? Honest question. I never really pay any attention to anything Wisconsin, so I honestly don't know what he has done to be called a douche.

    OSU fans whine per usual and blow shit out of context. Honestly what I would say make him come off as a douche. The real answer? They've prevented OSU from going to the Rose Bowl the past 3 seasons.

    Maybe, it's because your coach accused ours of untrue illegal crap....

    Maybe because he cried and cried about it...

    But wait.... That couldn't possibly have anything to do with it.

  • laughing at wisonsin and arky fans talk up BB. this stuff is great..

    this one is easy folks... He lost all his coaching staff the year before, Ball his bellcow is leaving, He has massive QB issues coming , and the dumpster fire of his last 3 recruiting classes.

    If i saw that type of future at a school i coached.. i would run like heck before people realized what i have done.

    (according to Scouts system)
    2010 - 1 four star
    2011- 1 four star
    2012 - 5 four stars
    2013- 3 four stars

    He's a douche bag. Arrogant prick. Can stand the POS. and felt that way before our ass whooping. BTW, that still stings. And embarrassing.
