I thought it was interesting that he is going to be the only "coach" on this thing without a team.

"Hey Bret, we know you just got fired for not winning enough games, but could you come on our broadcast and offer your expert coaching insight into winning games?"

[ricepig]

Hopefully they pay him alot!

[WedgeBuster]

Hopefully they pay him alot!

Probably will pay him a package of Ho Hos and a handle of Skol Vodka, which is still overpaying him.

[Kevin]

they love him.  sure they will tell him over and over how he was screwed at arkansas

[hogsanity]

It'd be funny if at some point his time here comes up and he says " the amazing thing is the fans still want to talk more about me than their new coach. ".

Yup.


Good for coach B. Good to see him moving while others are still crying about him.

He won't....he has more respect for people and this university than you and most others on this board.  Maybe you're trying to be funny, but it's getting old.

[AFWarrior83]

In all seriousness, Bret would be an awesome game analyst/announcer. Doesn't pay nearly as much as coaching, but he'd do a better job being a media/tv personality.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Jordan Rogers was saying he would be a good fit for the K-State job if Snyder steps down.  KSU won't cave into Pee Paw's demand to make his son HC, so BB may be the next best thing especially if he agrees keep little Snyder.  Just got to convince Jen that it's the real Manhattan.

[SemperHawg]

Yup.

Who exactly is crying?  Just posted out of interest that the dude we just fired is going to be on TV on possibly the biggest CFB stage of the year.

[WedgeBuster]

Are people crying that we fired Bielema or that we replaced him with a 14-22 coach?

Yes.....

i am not saying he will say it. the people at espn will say it. not on camera.

[younghog]

YAWN

just read some of the replies already in this thread, and some of the ones to come before it gets sent to the trash.

There are people here who, just like there were ( still are actually ), can not post without crying about HDN and/or BP, can not quit complaing about BB or calling him names, or whining about his buy out, etc.

Manhattan is two hours from the KC metro.

Fayetteville is 2 hours from Branson.


She would survive.

Yeah but Snyder is determined to force them to make his son the next head coach.

[Slater]

They might mention how "fans" turned against him, but he is far too classy to stoop to the level of the message board lynch mobbers.

Kudos...its either Bert or fat bastard or talking about Ho Ho's & vodka.  Man has been to more of the BCS type bowl games than the last five hog coaches combined.  Did he do it at Arkansas? no.   But some of you act like he is the worst coach in America.  Grow up and show some respect.

my guess is they won't mention Arkansas at all, cause why would they when they have the playoff games to talk about.

[hawgmasta]

He will be great at it, and make some easy (easier than sec coaching at least) money. Good for him.

Did you oppose the administration relieving Long and Bret of their duties?

[rude1]

I see the fat man still has his chubby finger in some of you guys eyes. The guy knows he has fleeced the University, made a mint for doing nothing, real easy to take the high road under those circumstances.

[MultipleScoreGasms]

Now that's funny right there.

[sowmonella]

Only 7 posts yet you still should be bant for life. We don't need more morons.

[MultipleScoreGasms]

^^^^^This^^^^^.  Some of us need to grow some class.  It didn't work out here, but that doesn't mean he can't be successful elsewhere.  CBB is a good guy.  I wish him the best in whatever he does.

[31to6]

Manhattan is two hours from the KC metro.

Yes, but it is quite possibly the longest two hours of your life....

Manhattan, KS is a squalid pit of a town and there is no escaping that you travel through a lot of "nowhere" just to get there. I am surrounded by K-State alums who have alcohol-fueled nostalgia for "aggieville" but I just don't get the attraction.

[hogsanity]

My guess is he was banned under another name, and now he is back. No way someone just decided to create an account here in mid dec just to take shots at a coach not even here anymore.

[AirWarren]

Yes....because the drive through Clarksville, Ozark, mulberry and Moutainburg is awesome.......HA

How ironic...and you NEVER post without crying or complaining about the fans and posters on this board...post, after post, after post. Why are you even here?

[hogcards]

The fat bastard will land on his feet folks.  He may even emerge as a top coach in a lesser conference once again.

Nobody will hire him as a coach now.

He's a parody and more of a sideshow than anything.  He's a joke.

[AirWarren]

So angry.

[hogcards]

So angry.

I'm angry about what he and Long did to the program.  I'm ecstatic they're both gone.

[hogcards]

She would survive.

Maybe, but how is she going to form her hands into a "K" and an "S"?
Btw, she's the only thing associated with tfctwf that will be missed.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

He may find his true niche.

[hogcards]

Who cares honestly.

[PonderinHog]

Who cares honestly.

Certainly not the Bama fan.

[Inhogswetrust]

Yes....because the drive through Clarksville, Ozark, mulberry and Moutainburg is awesome.......HA

Comparatively yes it is.....................

[AirWarren]

Comparatively yes it is.....................

Maybe to some. But most......no.

[SooieGeneris]

In all seriousness, Bret would be an awesome game analyst/announcer. Doesn't pay nearly as much as coaching, but he'd do a better job being a media/tv personality.

I think with his personality and gift of gab, he would be a good analyst. However, if Snyder doesn't Godfather the HC job at K St. to his son, he might do ok there. He will coach again somewhere eventually.

Just not for over a $Mil per win like here. At $4 mil per year for 5 years. That's $20 mil + the buyout, should be over $30 mil with 29 wins in 5 years. We're in the wrong business..

[Inhogswetrust]

Maybe to some. But most......no.

I think to most yes and to some no. You never have driven in the Delta very far have you..........................either that or you simply don't like hills and mountains and lots of trees that I-40 west and I-49 north offer. I40 west from LR to Ft Smith is a really nice drive as interstate drives go. Then up I 49 to Fayetteville is beautiful.

[PolishPigPower]

Are people crying that we fired Bielema or that we replaced him with a 14-22 coach?

When you're a board member on Hogville, you cry.  It's what you do. 

[HF#1]

I imagine this will be his gig for the next year or two.

[AirWarren]

I am just not impressed. I know you hold it dear. But it just isn't impressive to me.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Any chance they pay him 11 mill? Asking for a friend

[outlawhogeywells]

Been there a few times. not much there,  to me it just feels like Ozark or Clarksville with a few better bars

[Boardon Hamsay]

It'd be funny if at some point his time here comes up and he says " the amazing thing is the fans still want to talk more about me than their new coach. ".

A very good chunk of folks here will minimally need at least half of his tenure time here to move on.  Sadly, it takes them at least half of the relationship duration to move on, once the relationship is done.  Might as well buckle in for those folks to be unable to move on 2.5+ years from now.  For simplistics sake, these are the Hogvillians that are ready for their first restraining order. 

Now, we've also got a pretty decent size group that aren't past our last three coaches.  These folks plowed through the first restraining order without even noticing the signs of clinginess, violated it a few times, did some brief time and/or community service, and still scope out the ex's facebook page with a regular cadence.  These are the Hogville stalkers.

Sadly, we even have a select few that go further back and not in a nostalgic way. The folks still have some cassette tapes they made with the piece of tape still on it to ensure it doesn't accidentally get recorded over.  There's a high degree of probability that at least one "Ace of Base" song resides on said cassette tape.  Ironically though, they never really saw the sign.  These folks have done hard time repeatedly after burning through a baker's dozen restraining orders like they were tic tacs and not really being able to convince a judge that it really wasn't them sifting through the ex's underwear drawer 10+ years after the breakup while listening to the "Crying Game" soundtrack.  These folks that refuse to move on are obviously Hogville's pyschopaths....kinda like Delta and the Civil War but with exes and the before mentioned restraining orders, etc.

We can already profile a few folks in this thread......

[thebignasty]

Better deduct whatever ESPN pays him for that from the danged buyout.

Then that would be a lie.....
