Regardless of their records/resume when they were hired, Bielema is in a 10x harder situation than Miles came into. He is entering a division that has 4 out of the last 5 national champions, possibly 5 of the last 6. He is coming into a division that has 3 10-win teams this season. He is bringing an offense where he will have to out-recruit Saban AND Miles just to have marginal success. On top of that, he is in a state with mediocre high-school talent.

You can't deny that 11 wins at Wisconsin is pretty impressive. Let's see what he does with a lot more talent.



But a 2-4 bowl record including 0-2 in BCS games is slightly more telling.

I absolutely agree, but it's not like the only good players go to LSU or Bama and the ones that end up at Arky turn out to suck. He'll get his share of good recruits.

12-1 in his first season, 3 straight 10+ win seasons, 2 straight 11 win seasons. Lost very close, hard fought rose bowls by 2 points and 7 points. Beat the SEC west champions Arkansas in 2006 to cap off the 12 win season. 3 straight Big 10 champs.


He's a good hire
