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

You keep backpedaling to this but it's not part of the discussion about his record against the better competition.

It's dumb to ask who could be better because no one knows how coarch b might have done under the same conditions that can never be repeated. Having said that, ark definitely didn't get a marquee name. Imo, that says something about ark's clout at this time
