Huh. I guess the majority I've always heard is that most people really dislike him. I know it's unofficial, but I think this gives you a pretty good idea: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/182064421.html?results=y&mr=1&pid=182064421&cid=8500544

For more evidence, check the comment section on the article covering his departure.

Obviously we're not so fond of him.....so I guess that, even though my BIL and a few of his classmates are drinking themselves silly, this your lucky day!!!!

I hear Beckman and Hope are available

Might be the most overrated head coach I've seen in quite some time. I really believe Paul Chryst was the engine that made that machine for so long. Without the offensive "skeleton" in place at Arkansas, I see him struggling Rich Rod style.

Wisconsins' style has been in place for decades, well before Biff was head coach. It's a style they have recruited for, for years. And it thrives on a certain type of player as well.

I don't see Butthead being given the amount of time he needs to even get this system up and running at Arkansas. He will have to completely revamp the recruiting for his type of player. And even when he does get his system implemented, I see him having a horrible time being able to run the football like he was capable of in the Big 10.

Keep in mind, his entire season last year built on the miracle that was Russell Wilson transferring to UW. And he has 5 losses this year.

I don't get it from either side.....at all. This will end horribly.

Is it really a blow to the Big Ten? I keep seeing headlines.

I'm assuming certain media outlets are taking advantage of the uniformed (as usual).

it's all about perception.

for the sheep who just read headlines, they see that a coach who won the last 3 B1G titles voluntarily left to got to a middle of the pack SEC team.

so it looks like middle of the pack SEC is better than top of B1G.

It's a rough gig.

Arkansas is basically a fat chick in low-rise jeans and a thong, big-time disconnect. That said, that sort of sounds like the sort of chick Bielema might go for.

Kiffin! That's all I'll say.

I don't know if it's a sign or anything, but does it say something that six assistants took off when Paul Chryst left? Normally, if you like your school/job, you don't jump to Pitt or elsewhere.

Kiffin has been a joke since he was with the Raiders.

If you are an assistant looking for a HC gig, you can do a lot worse than Pitt.

so a dumbass coach goes to a school filled with dumbasses who think they are relevant on the grand stage (SmoovP aside)

PERFECT match.

Arky is going to find out that Bulimia isn't a good coach any longer and that he's been promoted well past his talent range.

It absolutely does. It's essentially a group of assistants standing on a mountain screaming that they think working for Paul Chryst will pay off better than staying under Biff.

Listen, the staple of Wisonsin is their offensive line and power run game. Did Butthead create that? What does anyone even consider as one of Biffs coaching strengths? I'm being dead serious here....

The staple that is Wisconsin football is currently in Pittsburgh. And guess what? With the loss of Montee Ball, Biff was probably staring at another 5 loss season next year.

The timing couldn't be better for him....How Arkansas sees this as a good fit is about as baffling as thinking John L. Smith was the perfect replacement for Petrino.

Their AD is certifiably insane.

He's a ScUMer, what the hell else would you expect.

It's either give people bad contracts or sling cardboard-tasting pizza.

If he's making "Urban" money, which by all reports he is, that's nuts. Urban, Saban, Les Miles, even Spurrier have national titles.
