Bielema to Arkansas
- Thread starter poolplayer8888
- Start date
I would think Wisconsin is a better job than Arkansas....So why would this guy make such a move....Can there be sanctions coming up for Wisconsin ?
I heard Paul Chryst may be a possibility since he was at Wisky before Pitt...I hope it's not him...The last 18 or so years Wis has been very solid overall winning a lot of games..They won 3 Rose Bowls..They were never pounded by the SEC..they held their own in bowl games with anyone in the country including the SEC. They have a program where they can take that next step so a big name is what they must get..They can afford anyone in the country to coach here....Very curious to see how this plays out for sure. Meyer and Ohio St. are gonna be great for awhile now so they need to keep up with them and i know they can if the right coach is hired.

I guess. If you pay a guy enough, he'll sell his soul. Happens all the time, so why not him?
I see a coach who rode Barry's players to victory, and shit the bed with his own.
Shit the bed?? Wisconsin is a good program but not a place where you should expect double digit wins every season. I'm sure it's not easy to get rectruits up there and I think the dude did a great job with what he had.
Who wouldn't leave their current job for a 50-100% raise? If my company couldn't match or get close then I'm gone.
BBC... I think it is simple...
SEC > Big 10
And that is it in a nutshell.... ok, wait, also
Arky $$$ > Wisky $$$$
That matters too!
You actually believe that?
Yes. And so do plenty of other people up this way.
Barry is going to coach the Rose Bowl. Stanford might be in trouble.
Sounds like Alvarez was caught off guard with Bret's decision as he commented in a WSJ interview.... he thought Bret would coach the Rose Bowl and be back another season. He left for the $$$$ period.
Rumors on the radio here about possible replacements have Chris Peterson from Boise St. (which I would love), Paul Chryst from Pitt, and Darrell Bevell (former UW QB and NFL qb coach) They are not interested in Dave Doeren from NIU who was def. coordinator at UW in 2010.

Would love to get Petersen from Boise. Do not want Bevell or Chryst...I really believe they need a big name to take that next step. They can afford it so hope they go for it.
Agree 100%, how are you going to sit down at the kitchen table with a 4 star prospect, his parents and get them to sign on the dotted line if....hi, I'm Darrell Bevell, head coach at Wisconsin. Who?
Peterson has won big games and has done a TON for that Boise program. He gets a LOT of respect in college football circles and is an excellent recruiter. He's a good fit because HE DOES have ties to Wisconsin. He still has a home in the Madison area and his daughter attends high school there.
To those on here that think Bret Bielema is a good hire at Arkansas where he has absolutely NO ties to, he will NOT be coaching there in 3 years.
I dunno, how are you gonna sit down with a hot coaching prospect and say "Come to Wisconsin"
You're getting an assistant coach at a big school or a head coach at a MAC or Big East school.
if you add dII experience - you have just quoted kelly's resume- I assume badger backers would take a similar coach, not insinuating hte individual would have similar results, but a (presumably)high character guy that wins
Christ, talk about unrealistic expectations! I'd leave for the money too if I took Wisky to 3 straight Rose Bowls and had to hear about it not being good enough. Jeez Louise.
