Have not heard Bret Bielema's name mentioned in any coaching searches

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Has anyone heard of Bielema interviewing for any jobs or being contacted by any schools?  I have not.

[razorsharp94]

duh he's terrible.  We saw it first hand for five years.

TV Booth

[RagingHawgOn]

Can't remember where I read it, but one guy linked his name to Arizona State.

[jgphillips3]

I guess the Arkansas is a terrible job line didn't gain much traction.  He is either going to have to the TV route for a bit or pull a Charlie Strong and drop down to be a head coach.

Tennessee

[DukeOfPork]

Bret really should take the year off.  Enjoy the baby.  Lose some weight.  Do a little studio analysis.

Then get back into it next year.

[BearsBisonsBoars]

He's a good coach, just not SEC caliber. Or wasn't while he was here, at least.

I think he'd do well at Purdue if they lose Brohm, at Nebraska if they don't get Frost (they're gonna get Frost), or KStste (if Snyder wasn't grooming his boy to take over)

[Athog]

Mentioned early in Nebraska search.

[BearsBisonsBoars]

Double post. Disregard. _{Effing phone}

[NoogaHog]

I read that he was down on the lists of Tennessee and Nebraska.

Interestingly, on the Tennessee message boards there is a big push to get Les Miles. Good luck with that. I hope that happens. I would fear him less than Leach.

[NuttinItUp]

Maybe he can go to a non-Power 5 school like Kiffin/Strong/etc. did to repair his reputation. Win at a USF/UCF/FAU/etc. type of school and you can move back up again.

[TNarch]

Other than John L. Smith's season, BB has the worst conference W-L record since Otis Douglas in 50-52.  The teams that might be considering him are not the ones that make national news headlines.

[solitons]

I wish CBB the best

[livevanguy]

If Leach takes the Tennessee job, I'd love to see him at WSU. It would only benefit me in reality. Hogs get a new coach, I can watch WSU games here in Pullman and not feel bad about the coach, and a genuinely nice guy can get back to work. (Note I did not say great coach) I just need to football world to listen to only me! :-)

[HawgTrough]

he'll make more money staying home

[rzrbackramsfan]

Has anyone heard of Bielema interviewing for any jobs or being contacted by any schools?  I have not.

Yea, we were such bad guys for firing such a great coach and upstanding coach, I'm surprised there aren't any suitors.  Same with Long. 

[ThisTeetsTaken]

I thought he got paid by us regardless of his future employment.

[DiamondHogFan]

We will hear Long's name come up before we hear Bielema's.

[Seebs]

He may be listed as a replacement for these coaches taking the good jobs. 

[Wildhog]

Shocking that no one wants one of the worst head coaches in Arkansas history.

[Sowlamander]

You also didn't hear his name mentioned in our last search.

Troof.

[Cotton]

His name might come up after the shake down of the weekend. Doubt any major program will look his way.

[HawgPound]

He's probably not interested right now with the new baby. I wish the Bielema family the well.

This exactly. There will be openings next year. He can get together his elevator pitch. He's a good coach. The SEC spits good coaches out all the time. This year along Sumlin, Bielema, and Jones got devoured.

[EastexHawg]

I can't believe other programs aren't falling all over themselves to hire the Dynamic Duo. 

You know, the two men whose firings made Arkansas a "national laughingstock". Apparently everyone else is laughing at us too hard to hire them.

Lol ya man I'm sure he will be back in no time putting fear in the hearts of the college football world. Some of the stuff you guys come up with is out there.

He's still a good dude that does things right. Deserves a D1 job somewhere based on that fact alone. Regardless of W's and L's, he still needs to be involved somewhere helping young men grow up. Can't say that about all the previous guys that didn't make it here.

If he can find a program that doesn't care about winning, he'd be perfect.

[Calling All Hogs]

I'm guessing he is busy writing love letters to ADs.

[Billy Bats]

It's not surprising.  He's a terrible coach.  Good dude though.  Not smart, but a good guy. 

[Amityvillehogger]

By "involved somewhere" I meant just that. Not leading.

[twistitup]

Southern Alabama is open...I mean if you can't beat 'em, join 'em

A Y program somewhere?

?

That's a joke, right? He's a good guy and deserves a D1 job?

Insanity. So someone should pay him millions not because he's worth a flip as a football coach but because you think he's a good guy and father figure. I mean are we talking about football programs or an after school behavioral guidance program?

I contend this mentality is why our football program has suffered so dearly.

[The Kig]

He gets paid very well not to work for a while... not sure I would even put in for a new gig immediately.

[Tusks]

hahahahahaha

but it won't be until after this weekend when schools looking for him open up.  like memphis.

[Sooiepride]

I'm guessing he is busy writing love letters to ADs.

Thanks I needed a good chuckle!

[farmhawg]

He said he is earlier this week. Don't think it will happen.

[jmark]

i thought i saw on his "posted" termination letter that per his agreement, he had to seek employment. 
i thought i saw it in longs agreement also.

Would make a good school teacher, counselor, social worker, or juvenile probation officer.

[HawgTrough]

I'm not 100% sure, but that termination letter mentioned him reasonably seeking employment

Agreed. If I were him, I'd just hang out and enjoy life for a while.  Do some TV or radio jobs and relax.

[moses_007]

He will have made over $20 million here when it's all said and done, plus the millions he made at Wisconsin.  He probably won't coach again.  I know I wouldn't if I had that kind of money in the bank.

[rljjr]

Interestingly, on the Tennessee message boards there is a big push to get Les Miles. Good luck with that. I hope that happens. I would fear him less than Leach.

How much further can Tenner go? I'm willing to watch that!
