Bret Bielema (HC Illinois)

[MaxBuck]

...

Is that a coach or a manatee?

 

[Jaxbuck]

I figure that down there in Arkansas, they'll just find his body tied to a stake out in the woods.

I wonder if one wild pig could actually eat all of that?

One of those Hannibal (movie) ones could...maybe

 

[Nutriaitch]

He's sub-.500 overall at Arkansas, and a putrid 10-24 in conference. How this guy still has a job shows just how god-awful of a program Arkansas is running.

Dear lord. Whoever thought that contract was a good idea must be the dumbest person on the planet.

@Nutriaitch, do you want to weight in here?

we hired a guy with a worse record than that.
in fact, we fired a guy with a winning % just shy of 80.
so we could hurry up and fire a guy that’s was 3-21 in the SEC.

and we gave the 3-22 guy a $12 million buyout.

but hey, he’s setting records for us now.

most lopsided loss in the history of the Miss. St series (112 games).
first ever LSU loss to a Sunbelt Team
first OOC loss at home in 17 years

Jack Swarbrick and ND owed Charlie Weis $19MM when they fired him in 2009

That is $21.74 MM today with inflation

Bert and Ogeron are bargins

While it's true Heavy C ended up being a complete bag of shit HC, when he was hired he wasn't known to be a bad coach. LSU hired a a known loser, gave him a ridiculously high buy out.... because he had a binder.

OTOH, Captain Jack did give Cholly an extension for losing to USC.... call it a tie?

fair enough

next overrated bag of shit coach question:

Which myth dies more gloriously?;
A) Charlie's Schematic advantage
B) RainMan of AA being the QB Whisperer

I have to go with B.

But, I may just be giddy with excitement.

So some guys have recently re-examined Bielema's contract and found that his buyout is NOT the widely-reported $15.4M but more like $5.8M at the end of this season:

Unless you're pushing five bills, yeah ... that goes without saying.

Bill Martin-esque.

I am uncomfortable with taking his name in vain. Was he not a gift of the ages?
