My God.... never thought Arkansas would out hire us

[UT's#1Fan]

But they did. I would take Biliema (sp?) In a heartbeat over Gundy or Strong. Why couldn't we make a lateral hire? Why do we have to go to a lower tier program for our coach? Why not go after Kevin Sumlin or the guy from Oregon (Kelly?).

We can't get it right for nothing. :banghead2:

 

[RockyTopFox]

They did not out hire us. They got a decent hire, but Strong or Grundy will be better.

 

[SergeantVol]

Beliema is overrated. You'll see.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Just because you repeat a lie over and over doesn't make it true. See gruden thread. Arkansas DID get the better hire if we indeed get Strong. Far better W/L record

Jeebus dud, he hasn't coached a down in the SEC yet, lets see what he can do before you anoint him Bear Bryant

 

[CountVolcula]

Go hire a coach

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

Lol, Bielema is not cut out for the SEC. Do your homework.

 

[Volgrad98]

I wasn't aware our coaching decision was final. I guess I missed the press conference.

 

[snowvols]

I'm sure kids in Texas and all over the SE are going to go gaga over Bielema. :dunno:

If W's and L's at the current school is the only thing you care about, then obviously Purdue and NC State won the coaching carousel. If the school we all cared about was in the midwest, then fine, Bielema is a good hire. He IS NOT A GOOD FIT IN THE SEC! I would have been furious if we hired this guy with ZERO connection to the SEC territory and connections to fertile recruiting grounds. They can have him and have fun being 6-6 for the next 4 years.

 

[Silky_Johnson]

Biliema is a joke

 

[RockyTopFox]

Beliema underachieved with an extremely talented team. Did you see what Wisconsin did to Nebraska? They were capable of playing on that level for the majority of the season. Strong has more SEC experience. The SEC is a totally different league, even compared to the Big 10 or 12. Him and Strong would be about even on strength of hire.

Bielema is in for a rude awakening when it comes to recruiting in the SEC.

[Dr H Lecter]

You got to hand to Arky-that is a great hire for them. His record against Big 10 more favorable that Strong's in the Big East. You never know how any coach will perform at a new school, but Bielma has demonstrated for a good period of time that he can coach.

Really? Come on...

 

[orange parmejohn]

is it the Rose Bowls or the Conf. championships that give you that conclusion?

 

[hamburgerVol]

 

[Brooks_Orpik]

Chip Kelly? Kevin Sumlin?
some realistic choices right there

only vol fans could complain about CCS

The guy that cried about Urban talking to committed recruits because its not done that way in the SEC? Well he is in for a shock in the SEC.

Kelly? Are you serious? Some people...

 

[Skjellyfetti]

Strong is a better hire.

It was at 3pm.

Plenty of successful coaches here in the SEC with little to no background in the SEC. Your point is not taken.
