He was doing that at Wisconsin. And chose to leave. This would be like marrying the same woman a 2nd time just because she moved a few blocks over.

He left Wisconsin because he couldn't keep his assistant coaches because the AD and powers that be would not pay their assistants market value. BB said that is why he came to an SEC school so he would have the money to keep his assistant coaches. I have no idea what Nebraska's athletic department looks like financially..

I think he goes... Will hear more by Friday... makes me wonder who's gonna apply for Arkansas job... Gundy?

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

My opinion is he stays at Arkansas. No way the AD there is going to let Bielema go after just two years and he already has the program going in the right direction.

Nebraska, unlike Wisconsin, would probably pay his assistants much better. That is one of the main reasons he left Wisconsin – they wouldn't pay his assistants enough.

I thought the assistant pay was a B1G thing, not a Wisconsin thing. Wasn't there a stink a few years ago about how the B1G limited assistant coach pay?

Hmmmn, isn't that AD busy with some other project right now? Something about the College Football Playoff I think. :wink:

If he goes to Nebraska I will eat a raw hog snout and post the video on here! ( I'm probably lying).

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

That doesn't mean much, though. He might as well have said the only way he is leaving Arkansas is in a pine box.

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

I dont generally agree with Colin Cowherd but he hit the nail on the head with Nebraska. Its not a great job due to sights,fan expectation,and how you have to recruit. Granted Arkansas aint much better in sights, but the expectations and recruiting are far better in Arkansas. If Bielema stays it would be a far better choice unless its about money. Nebraska would be a harder job.

Is Sexton his agent too?

Nah. Some fellow named Neil Cornrich.

That's rather far-fetched...I'm pretty sure you don't know how to post a video.

What? No full Banjeaux? I'm devastated.

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

Another coach thought he could handle the SEC and he was proved wrong.

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

Chris Lowe tweeted:

Talked to Bret Bielema and he said he's not going to Nebraska and that he's all Hog.

Thanks to the greatness of the internet, we have this now:

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

He has a good thing going in Fayetteville right now. He almost beat the #1 team in the nation...then he shutout LSU and Ole Miss. They are going to a bowl game...so he gets that much more practice time in.

As others have said...LSU and A&M look like lost programs and who knows what kind of team AU will field next fall with so many play makers leaving.

I know some hardcore Hog fans and they are big Bielema fans now...they'd definitely be heartbroken if he left now.

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

C'mon it's NEBRASKA!! That's not a job you turn down to stay at Arky. There is really nothing else to dissect.

They are an All-Time Top team like Bama, ND, Mich, OSU, Texas, Okla, USC etc etc.

They are not on probation and ripe for resurrection to greatness. He's the Perfect fit too in bringing a smash mouth physical style back to the Huskers.

Give him a few years and he'll send Urban back into a panic attack retirement.

I love this move if true. A great Nebraska program is good for CFB.

Re: Bret Bielema in serious talk with Nebraska

Agreed, Nebraska is a much better job than Arkansas. Take off the SEC glasses.
