That's a weird move...

They must have offered a bunch of cash because he's got a good system up in wisconsin

That's a weird move...

 

Not really. The big 10 sucks and the SEC offers more opportunities for advancement.

I suppose. But Arkansas is in a division with TAMU, Alabama and LSU. The B1G leaders division(I think that's the one...) Is Wisky, tOSU, Sanctioned PSU and a glut of garbage. Beat tOSU and you get a shot at the Rose Bowl. Plus Diaco could end up in wisconsin...

Where is he going to advance to from going to the Rose Bowl every year?? He isn't going to compete with Alabama and LSU and Florida for NCs as long as Saban, Miles, and Muschamp are there.

wow...completely shocked by this. Never saw that one coming... :gossip:

Now this is a job Diaco might be good for.

Insane. Next it'll be Weis to Tenn.

Round and round we go... This is even more fun than conference realignments.

 

Maybe Wisconsin will interview Coach Diaco now, what the heck?

OR pitt loses Paul Chryst again could happen too.. Wow poor panthers, Brett must have felt like he hit the badgers ceiling

That's a weird move...

yeah it is. im offically surprised, never saw it coming.

Lol with osu coming off sanctions and Michigan hauling in amazing recruiting classes, I'd hardly call the rose bowl a done deal for wisky...

 

Arkansas can thrive (at least remain competitive) with Bama, LSU, and UF with the right coach. It will certainly define his next move....

Probably worried that OSU will keep him out of the Rose Bowl for the forseable future. At least at Arkansas he can use the "rebuilding" excuse.

WHOA. That's a shock.

yeah it is. im offically surprised, never saw it coming.

 

I heard stuff as early as 2 hours prior that it was going to be Mike Gundy to Arkansas. Total shock

I guess he didn't like BCS bowls...

Well as the resident Badger alum, let me say YAHOO! Also, holy crap, this came out of no where...as I posted in a previous thread, he has not been well liked within the community for his antics and coming on the heels of Petrino, shocking they hire a guy like Bielema who has been known to go out with his players to a particular pub, have too many cocktails in other places though he did just get married to a smoking hot younger babe. Right after Doeren went to NC State...bet Alvarez is PISSED! I am an ex-athlete for the Badgers and will be curious to hear from friends still clsoe to the dept to learn what happened. So much for Butch Davis....

Wisky went 3 years in a row. I'm assuming Urban has OSU competing for NCs. Michigan's class is falling apart and I think you are overestimating Hoke's abilities.

 

Since when? Ark has been behind LSU & Bama for the last 6 years. They obviously think Miles is a better coach since they offered him first. We know Saban is better. Where is Bielema going to go from Ark? What is this next move you speak of? He will be in the SEC. Bama, aTm, LSU, Fla, USCar, or GA gonna drop their HC to hire him?

Saban and Les have lifetime contracts. Sumlin is in year 1. SCar would be a lateral move. Georgia maybe? But unless you're winning big at Arky why would Georgia want you? And if you're winning big at Arky, why go to Georgia?

 

Maybe he'd turn it into an NFL gig. But who does that anymore? The failure rate of CFB to NFL is astronomical. Carol was NFL to CFB back to NFL. Harbaugh is a smashing success. Other than that? Saban? Patrino? Holtz? I mean, it's not a pretty list.

1). Urban wont be winning titles once they have a sked that doesn't include big 10 only teams.

 

2). Ark just went to the sugar bowl in 2010. They beat lsu that year. They're not exactly irrelevant.

 

If Bret can prove himself among the sec competition (likely even in defeat) then he will do better than battling the big 10 for who is shittiest.

Too funny but my daughter who is a student at Wisc just texted me and the students were cheering when the news broke. Bielema is a defensive guy so he needs a good OC if he stands a chance...
