Forde report Arkansas has hired Bret Bielema

[Predestined]

Looks like his Rose Bowl streak will end at three.

Whaddya think girls, good, bad or indifferent?

 

[Dawg1976]

That came out of no where if true.

 

[codeDawg]

I thought they were getting Bill Belichick. Oh, well.

[BIG EASY]

i don't think it's a bad, but i don't think it's a homerun hire either. definitely unexpected if that is the case.

 

[coach66]

Oh no, another Yankee in the conference**

Plays the power game...........

for the most part. Ark must want to go the AL/LSU/UGA route.

I think it is a homerun hire. Be interested to see how much cash it took to lure him away from Wisconsin.

 

[DAWG61]

Homerun hire. Excellent coach. 17!

 

[Shmuley]

I guess Bielema finally had enough of Urban Meyer's scummy SEC-inspired recruiting tactics that he brought to the ***** Ten, and he decided to leave!1111!11!1

Wait, whut?

 

[Shmuley]

Puts them back in the game for a very, very good RB, Altee Tenpenny. Feature back in that offense.

 

[The Peeper]

Great, Bo "The Lifestyle" Bounds already fellates him every chance he gets. Bielema
will definitely replace Petrino as the new man crush for Lifestyle.

 

[dogfan96]

He's bringing talent with him

27 years old

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

I wonder how long it will take to transition Ark's offense...

It's definitely a different strategy than the QB/WR-heavy spread of Petrino to the power run game of Bielema.

 

[dickiedawg]

You ain't kidding.

 

[Shmuley]

You know, that's better than just yankee hot right there. That's a pretty nice body of work. +1 to Bielema.

 

[BIG EASY]

this is the only reason i don't see this as a homerun hire. i was figuring more of a Petrino-esque style coach to better fit the personnel they already had since they had great success with the pass happy spread.

 

[FISHDAWG]

will Arky ever learn ?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

She play volleyball?

 

[BIG EASY]

guess they won't have to worry about motorcycle accidents now**

 

[OzarkaNSW]

holy ****

That's his wife nm

[dogfan96]

Personnel is no issue...

they can almost always produce a huge OL and RBs come a dime a dozen. It just helps that they have some explosive players on the outside.

 

[hotdigitydog]

Good coach but initially Upig doesn't have the kind of personnel to run the

type of offense he'll want to implement. He's going to want huge offenseive linemen and a power running game. I think the Pigs wills struggle again for the next couple of years. I know some will say, good coaches change the scheme to fit their personnel and that very well could be true. Will be interesting.

 

[RocketDawg]

Good heavens! I guess that's what making a few million a year will do for ya. It's certainly not his good looks. Probably won't have to worry about him pulling a Petrino at Ark.

 

[esplanade91]

Wow. "This will work!" - no one

 

[RocketDawg]

Will he coach the Rose Bowl before leaving?

I would if I was him. Might be his last chance at a BCS level bowl ....
