General Session – Bret Bielema – Arkansas

The Arkansas Edge (This is posted everywhere around the football facilities)

Mental/Physical Toughness
Play Fast and Through the Whistle
Play Clean
Win Critical Areas
We Earn Everything
– "Numbers 1-3 have nothing to do with your ability."

– When he first got to Arkansas he wanted to establish the expectations right away. On the first day of spring practice, he put 25 minutes of inside drill on the schedule, because he wanted his players tough, but also because they hadn't run any inside drill before when the last coach was there.

"We are all a product of how we use our time."
"We are all a product of how we use our time."
– "Being a Hog is a good thing in Arkansas. You can walk up to the prettiest girl in Arkansas and call her a Hog and she'll love it."

– Had a big challenge to change the culture of negativity and losing when he first got there.

– Time is everyone's common thread. Everyone's time is equal, and you can't go back in time, and you can't buy more. As a college coach, you can't fine them any money for poor behavior, but you can take away playing time.

– One of his favorite things to do when a kid doesn't manage time wisely and isn't punctual is to schedule a meeting with him at the most inconvenient time possible for the kid, and then Bielema won't show up on time. That way the kid can see what he's doing to others when he doesn't show up on time.

CBB has used his time wisely and become a very good coach, at a young age.

from Bill Curry...makes a great point 

"There are three ways to motivate people: Fear, incentives, and relationships.  The first two are only temporary. At Georgia Tech during his playing days, he had an assistant coach named John Robert Bell who told him when he was having a rough time and didn’t think he could play, “I know you can play.” He helped him improve as a player, and ten years later in the NFL, he was still playing and giving effort because he wanted to make Coach Bell proud. The relationship was what kept him motivated.

CBB is an honest guy when it comes to relationships.  Recruits/Players can smell "real talk" from a coach.   CBB at AR was great luck....timing is everything...WPS

(especially comparing CBB's vs petrino/nutt sack's relationships with their players....)

I still remember that article from the Louisville reporter who wrote about the collateral damage leftover from bobby p taking the Falcons job.   Same scenario played out at Arkansas
