He did say when asked what his offensive philosophy would be that the best coaches adapt to the personnel at hand. So it'll be interesting how he uses the current talent until he's able to build the roster he wants. I'd have a hard time believing it'll be much different from the hard nosed offenses he had at Wisky. Either way, I'd expect the offensive line to be a strength


He's hinted at this several times and I expected the wisconsin style offense but then he goes out and hires Chaney as OC. He is a defensive guy by trade but will have influence into all 3 phases. He doesn't call plays on either side of the ball. So this leads me to believe he's fine with opening it up. We'll still run more than Chaney did at UT most likely which is a good thing.

Bielema said this yesterday in his press conference. I'm definitely very interested to see what they come up with.

Bielema offered a clearer picture of the offense he plans to employ in 2013 when asked about the hiring of  former Tennessee offensive coordinator Jim Cheney.  "It was very apparent to me that the things I'd grown accustomed to at Wisconsin weren't already in the bank here," Bielema observed. "You can't just force feed something into a situation so it was important for me go after a guy that blended a spread style and pro style."

He went on to say that hr wanted to blend things together that they were doing at Wisconsin, Cheney was doing at Tennessee and what we were doing at Arkansas under Petrino.
