you listed some qualification necessary for the Ark HC. none of those seem to apply to BB. did you change your qualifications list post hire to make yourself feel better?

In your view, is all sickness death? Just because we didn't hire someone that fit MY view of what the hire should look like doesn't mean that it won't work. Simpleton.

Recruiting in TX: Still a question mark. Bielema doesn't have it, but he could easily put together a staff that does.

Developing QB's: Still a question mark. Bielema doesn't have it (although they've averaged 2600 yards passing per year, which would be record setting for us until Petrino got here), but he can easily hire a QB coach that can do help sell our ability to develop QBs.

Offensive philosophy: I don't think we'll ever beat Bama/LSU at their game consistently. I hope Bielema recognizes that and throws the ball a BIT more than you guys do. Instead of 30-35% running pass plays, 35-40%. If he doesn't, I could see us being a better version of Houston Nutt's teams. Strong running games, mediocre passing attack, but with a much better defense.

Speaking of defense: I didn't talk a lot about this, but Bielema should get plenty of respect in the SEC for being a good defensive coach right? I don't think I mentioned this as a requirement, but it should have gone without saying. He's got a defensive pedigree, but it all hinges on his staff.
