re: Arkansas extends Bielema through 2020 w/ raise

I'm not sure if Bert is worth this amount or not. I'm also not sure that Les, Sumlin, Freeze, Chavis, Steele, Boom, Spurrier, etc are worth what they are being paid.

Saban, Meyer, and perhaps Jimbo Fisher are worth the money.Gus probably is as well; Butch Jones might be if he wins big this year(I guess Bert might be if we have a break-out season in 2015.)

But as we all know, ya' gotta' pay to play the game, and given current market conditions we had to up the money for him. If we win 9 or 10 games next year, which is a real possibility, even more teams will make a run at him. And I see no reason why he'd stay at Arkansas if he got a big-time offer. So our AD tried to lock him up.

If he coached at a place like LSU or Bama, where he could access even greater talent, I shudder to think how nasty those teams would be.

The big man knows how to coach, folks
