The thought entered my mind and quickly vanished because I thought it too absurd.

I figured he was going to be at Wisconsin as long as they let him be.

Exactly. Yet people on here treat it like it's the gospel truth.

All I know is all Clay Travis and the Vols boards were the ones yelling the loudest with the most names about us offering and being turned down by coaches.

I'm thinking that it was the Vols being turned down and they are substituting other schools names on twitter...

Apparently we were on Bielema for at least two weeks.

Its similar to when Long hired Petrino. NOBODY thought he was the guy, and then bam.

No. But it seems to be that way when hiring away a top flight coach from the Big 10 (or from any major conference for that matter) or the NFL.

Saban from Mich. State came from nowhere.

Miles from Ok. State same thing.

Petrino from the Falcons.

Didn't put Saban from the Dolphins because Bama chased him like a crack whore trying to get her money.

nope. in fact just a few hours before the Bielema hire broke, Arkansas sports heads were tweeting it was Gundy.

I picked Chudzinski or Schottenheimer based on style all along but Bielema is better, since he is same style as above and is HC at a winner.

Yes, according to Arkansas sports media, Gundy was a done deal.

Jeff Long doesn't leak a thing, and the local media still hasn't adjusted.

No one. I actually had Paul Chryst in my top 5 wish list for a long time and later added Dave Doeren just because I wanted the Wisconsin scheme. I never would have even fathomed that we would get the main guy.

Gundy was a done deal and posters were making fun of the bielema stuff when it broke. Jeff Long runs a tight ship.
