re: How is Bielema not a terrible hire...?

since you change them a complete 180 to claim BB to be a "great" hire i guess not.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Essentially, in your simple, simple mind: All sickness = death. There is no grey area. There is no middle ground. There is only black and white.

I said we would be best served with coach "A," having certain qualifications. WHICH, by the way, is completely irrelevant. Let me put this in terms you can understand, you poor Louisiana trash. If you say you prefer ice cream, does that mean you think cake sucks? Of course not.

And just because you did 'the best you could do' with the hire doesn't make it a great hire. It means there was a weak pool of candidates and you got one of the better ones available; again i like the hire. calling it great is a stretch unless you have low expectations. which you do.

I'd ask you, once again, to name me someone we could have hired that would have had a better resume than Bielema...I'd ask, but since your pussy arse can't, or won't, answer, I'm going to stop. Because it's embarrassing.

Step up. You're sooooooooooo fricking brilliant, no? NAME SOMEONE, genius.

Lower expectations? Bielema's done more at Wisconsin than anyone in their history. Remind me. Why was Les Miles a great coach at OSU even though he only won 57% of his games there. Why was that? Something about...oh yes. How BAD it was before him? That speaks to RELATIVITY. It was BAD before him. He made them respectable, to the tune of 7-5 in his last year (bravo, truly amazing).

So let's apply some RELATIVITY to Bielema. Relatively speaking, in a state with no talent, at a school with shitty facilities, he's put a lot of guys in the NFL and had pretty good success in the B1G. He took over from their coaching "legend" and took them to new heights. Those are facts. That's not me being a flaming, trolling bitch. Those are empirical, hard facts.

Will he do great at Arkansas? WHO THE frick KNOWS. We could hire Nick fricking Saban and I'd say the exact same thing. It will depend. It all depends. Will he be able to put together a great staff (since he couldn't pay his assistants at Wisconsin f'ing anything). Will any of them have recruiting ties to the south? These are things that I'm assuming were discussed prior to his hiring and that Jeff Long had assurances on.
