Now that it's been a while since the hire, I'm just curious.. Are you Arky fans really excited about him being hired or was that all an act?
ETA: Not trolling. Genuinely curious.

Even more excited now that he's hired most of his staff.
Loaded.

Why should we not be excited? There's a chance he may not work out here, but there's that chance with every coach. He'll do well.

Was cautiously optimistic at the time of his announcement, but now I am a firm believer that it was an excellent hire.I really like the staff he is putting together. I also love the energy and passion he brings to the program based on certain things he has said.

Immediately after the hire, I didn't know what to think. But the more I learned about him, the more I liked him. I believe he will turn out to be a great hire.

No I think he's vastly overrated, but who really knows how good he will be until the season starts.
Flagship fans make a habit out of being blindly optimistic though. I had countless people in Fayetteville telling me JLS was taking us to an SEC championship.
Sadly, 2012 couldn't even bring people down to earth.

Excitement is genuine. The staff he has put together will be an upgrade from Petrino's staff.

I don't know but I am.

I think it was a great hire, and the staff he is putting together is better than any other I can remember in recent history.

Count me as excited. I would have been happy with a number of coaches but after looking at Bielema's record and talking to a few fans who have actually met him, I couldn't be happier with the hire. His recruiting will be exponentially better than Petrino’s and it’s already showing not only with the 2013 class but the 2014 class as well.
Not that I’m a big “star” rating guy in football but since so many are I’m going out on a limb here and predict that Arkansas’ 2014 class will be the highest rated class we’ve had since people started tracking that sort of thing. I certainly like the way things are shaping up in Fayetteville.

So far, I like the hire. Even with Bobby, I was concerned about the lack of defense. With CBB, I think we will start getting back to the kind of defenses we had in the late 70's/early 80's.
With the addtion of the 2 coaches from TN, it looks like the offense will have a chance to continue to be very productive as well.
Obviously, only time and wins will tell the tale, but right now I'm happy and excited about the possibilities!

At first when I heard about the hire I was like wtf. But after doing some research and CBMFB hiring some elite assistants that can recruit, I love this hire.

People were saying his staff hires would make or break him and they were right
He's building an elite staff

For me--- genuinely excited.
For me I was hoping for a defensive minded head coach.
All of Arkansas' previous coaches that I can recall have been offensive minded (Hatfield, Crowe, Ford, Nutt, and Petrino) and I was hoping to see us break that cycle. Bring in someone that would put emphasis on physical defensive play. Check!
A coach that would put an emphasis on physical smash mouth Offensive Line play. Check!
Also for the university, to open the wallet and bring in top notch assistants. So far check!
So far with this hire, I think we are making a step in the right direction and I'm very excited to see where it takes us.
