re: Which hog coach was better? Bielema or Pittman?

I agree with this, him failing here is what propelled him to fix at least some of his personal failings that prevented him from being a good coach. If he stayed, not only would he not have gotten better he probably would have just gotten worse. Getting fired smashed his ego and the trip through the Patriots really helped him be a better coach but mostly stopping drinking to massive excess fixed a lot of his issues.

I live in Fayetteville but I'm a homebody and only saw him exactly once in public, was at the JJs off Wedington when I went with my family to eat lunch on some random day. It was during the season midweek at like 1130 and he came in to meet with some man I didn't recognize. Bert came in clearly drunk already, sat at the table to visit for maybe 20 minutes and drank at least 5 more Modelo's in the small bottles while there and didn't eat a thing before stumbling back out. That was the year he got fired.

I believe I read somewhere that Bert is fat.

Bielema. And his defense in 2014 was fun. Just about beat bama that year. 14-13 final score. He went downhill when he let go of Pittman on the offensive line and couldn’t stay out of the bars
