Among the initial points of contact between new Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and athletic director Jeff Long: a letter the then-Wisconsin coach sent Long in praise of Bobby Petrino's termination:"Here at UW I have a great AD because he is a man of his word and asks the same for all of us. Best wishes moving forward and stay strong. It was the right call!"

Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long had his first official contact with head coaching candidate Bret Bielema on Dec. 3, but Bielema might have popped up on the radar back in September.
