He is on the Bret train hard. I think some of the media guys really like him on a personal level and it's hard for them to let go of that.

I can understand this, I've met Bret in person and he's a very likeable guy. Nobody wants to see their buddy get fired, especially when you would have to be dealing with his replacement on a daily basis.

Not to mention Bielema makes himself available for the press, which is a big help come deadline time. The next guy might be one of those coaches that releases the hounds every time he sees the press and responds to questions with only hate filled yes or no answers.
