Bret Bielema (HC Illinois)

Thought the BP Crew would get a kick out of this.
Coach B starting to make excuses at Arkansas. Hogs must be headed for no bowl game again!

Some choice quotes:

"“I took the job with a certain expectation,” Bielema said. “I really thought, coming in, because of the guy that I was replacing, I thought we would have a plethora of quarterbacks, wide receivers and offensive skill and expected the defense to have certain things in place. That really wasn’t the case. It’s not a knock on our guys. For what we need to do offensively and defensively, there was not as much as I thought was going to be there"


Here is my favorite part:

"At year five in Wisconsin, that’s when I won my first championship. We did it three years in a row. I hope it’s faster than that, but I can assure you that, in year five, we’re going to have a really good football team, but I don’t plan on not having a great season in year two, as well.'


He thinks they'll give him to Year Five.....:hoke::hoke::jt::jt:

I think it's important to revisit this statement. Where is his logic?

"The guy ahead of me was fired for a horrible record and significant under performance - but I really and truly thought his teams were loaded"

As hard as it is to believe, his logic is that he's a better coach than most everyone else.

Also: "I am incapable of doing even the most basic research before accepting a new job."

While I don't disagree, I think the more likely scenario is that he's an idiot who believes everything he hears on ESPN, including how things are magically elite in the SEC simply by being associated with the SEC. Ole Miss in the top 25 baby!

I'd say that high level of analysis was done by Mrs Bert

Possible. She's got a nose for these things.
