Behind the scenes hiring process

It'll all come out eventually, though not without some spin here and there mixing in with the real story. It's starting now though.
So did Bielema know he was gone from Wisconsin last week or did he know he was coming to Arkansas? That would make all the Miles, Gundy, Petersen rejection talk be moot. Interested to see how this all plays out.
If I'm missing more stuff like this, let me know.

Sources say Bielema all but certain to leave last week, thus 70 UW hung in B10CG was heck of an exit.

Long is the master of smokescreens. That's all you need to know.

Wisconsin's recruits started hearing rumors of Bielema to Arkansas as early as last Saturday.

It is amazing to me that this didn't get leaked if college students were hearing about it. Weirdest coaching search ever. Ever.

Long is a beast.

it's one of those you gotta know to ask the question on that side. I'm sure he talked to his assistants.
This deal wasn't all done today. These things take more time than people realize.

I'm completely shocked. Nobody saw this one coming. Guess it goes to show you that nobody really knows what is going through Long's head, or he does a fantastic job of keeping it a secret.

Wow, if these are true then I am shocked.

These other fools are playing checkers, while we're playing chess.

Damn Long is good at keeping shite under wraps

Long is a hell of an AD. Hope he stays here for a long time.

So what about the video presentation to Gundy? The meeting with Miles? Was that Long doing his due diligence and interviewing potential other guys?
I'm looking forward to the real meat of this getting released. Of course, at any presser we're going to hear "Bret was our top guy all along."
It'll be interesting if Bielema sells the idea that he wasn't distracted by the coaching search all year and he's committed to both winning and growing these young players into young men.
I don't know much about his personality. God I hope he doesn't throw cliches out like that.
