Bret Bielema (HC Illinois)

[VBSJ]

Wow, if what Rick Pizzo of BTN reported is true, that Bielema knew three weeks ago that he was leaving for the SEC, I'd kind of be mad if I'm a Wisconsin player.

Hopefully he doesn't say goodbye to his players via text message like Todd Graham or via speaker phone like Randy Edsall.

RT: #Badgers source also tells me #bretbielema knew at least two weeks ago that he was leaving, but was weighing "a couple" SEC schools.

wonder what the other offer was?

Auburn is probably the southern version of Wisconsin, so seems like a good fit.

@BHeraldSports

Source close to Badgers football program says Bret Bielema is in New York & will not be attending team meeting at 6.

@Lee_NBC15

Reports: airplane departed Madison for Little Rock a few minutes ago.

What a slap in the face to Alvarez. The program deserves better.

Well, what would you expect from a douche?

The same guy who didn't want the "B1G to turn into the SEC." Get your FAIL memes ready

Douche is in New York, but reports of a flight from Madison to Fayetteville?

I hope he tried the Les Miles approach to renegotiating contracts and Alvarez told him he wasnt worth $3.5 million a year.

Bielema was 1-5 against Ohio State.

Good luck with Alabama (unless Saban takes off).

Yeah, not quite sure on the timeline of that one.

I see that "1" and it just reminds me how much that team would've fucked Auburn sideways.

FIFY

BB is committing career suicide. I am beyond floored that Arkansas is going to drop 4 mill on him. BB *is* a good coach but let's be honest....Saban, Miles, Muschamp, and Sumlin are going to drink his milkshake every year. There is no way he survives that conference or out recruits those dudes. In some ways BB has been an extraordinarily lucky benefactor of some amazing talent in what should have been lean years. No Russell Wilson? 7-5. What is the record last year without RW? The same? Worse? Wisconsin was the ceiling. He is a god in Madison and has the support of the community even though the team, by most current metrics, was mediocre this year (Taking away the game Nebraska forgot to show up for of course). In Arkansas? Good luck with that.

I agree with pretty much all of this. He will fail miserably. It will be glorious.

 

[Bucky32]

This will come full circle. Alvarez comes back to coach and faces Arkansas in a bowl. It's a story waiting to be written.

Does "drink his milkshake" mean something different in Wisconsin than it does here, because.....ew.
