Coach BB left a well established Wisconsin program to come to Arkansas for the better recruiting, money, stadium expansion and brand new football complex.
Jeff Long is a badass and there isn't another way to put it. We literally went up and stole a coach who was consistently returning to the Rose bowl three years running. TD said Arkansas cannot and will not hire back to back BCS successful coaches, fail.
He knows exactly what he is getting into as Wisconsin had no recruiting base, reference the map, but had to compete against Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State and Penn State for recruiting.
He must be on cloud nine knowing he is going to compete in the SEC, make more money, brand new facilities, stadium upgrade and better recruiting base.
:razorback: Great days are upon on Hog fans! WPS!
Arkansas money was better than Tennessee and Auburn's tradition.

Arkansas is a :destinationjob:
We go get who we want.
Only other school in the SEC that can claim this is Bama.
Everyone else raids the sunbelt, ConUSA, WAC, or the staffs of other successful coaches.

You would think Bielema would have been able to pull any five star OL he wanted at Wisconsin, considering how good they turn out to be in the NFL. Joe Thomas is the best LT in the league. And Madison is an AWESOME college town. Still hard trouble pulling in talent. I wonder if he will be able to recruit the five star players needed to be a championship coach in this league. Don't get me wrong, I really, really like him and thought his 2010 and 2011 Wisconsin offenses were a treat to watch, but it'll be a little adjustment period. Be patient, Arkansas.

This is like a gump circle jerk thread, but the penises are smaller.

I don't know if it's really "trolling" if the coach has won a national title and multiple SEC championships. But ok.

Enjoy averaging 3-5 losses for the lifetime of his coaching contract.

I wish people would stop assuming he's going to suck or dominate. Why don't we just wait a few years and see..?
