Is Bielema to Arkansas the worst coaching move ever?

It's gotta be top ten. Did that fat bastard do it because he wants the Iowa gig once Ferentz gets pushed out of town?

He'll never make a bowl game during his tenure at Arkansas...he and Lane Kiffin will be great ESPN analysts

Are we specifically talking head coaches?

Right next to the ridiculously funny contract that Iowa has with Kirk Ferentz.

Are you guys really paying him $4 Million a year to finish 4th in the Big 10 Legends division every year? The 6th highest paid coach in the country?

Head coaches only...I can't think of a worse one than this...he goes from playing in BCS bowls to most likely going 4-8 this year...I know money talks but I'd rather win and make a couple million than lose and make a little more

Not to mention what it does to your perception as a head coach...if he struggles to go .500 who would hire him?

Holy fuck.

Only 2 possibilities here:

1. You are a clueless Iowa fan
2. You are a total Wisconsin troll posing as an Iowa fan

Which one is it?

So is your avatar

I guess Saban was a horrible coaching move after he went 7-6 in 2007. God forbid a guy takes a 3-9 team and can't beat top10/15 teams in their first year.

And I'm not sure why it's stupid...he was sitting extremely well at Wisconsin and then takes a demotion by going to Arkansas...I could see him making the move to an elite school but Arkansas??? Arkansas has been relevant when??? 2011 and that's about it

It would be like Art Briles leaving Waco to go to SMU

For starters, he is making more money at Arkansas.

But the biggest thing was Wisconsin was cheap when it came to paying their assistant coaches and those coaches being vulched by other schools for more money constantly.

Losing assistant coaches is part of the deal....if you're successful then they are successful, when they are successful they become head coaches...like I said earlier, making more money and losing isn't worth it to me considering if you continue to lose (which there is a high probability at Arkansas considering you compete against LSU and BAMA for recruits) you lose your job

It's part of the deal if you don't pay them what they are worth to keep them. There is a reason Kirby Smart is the highest paid DC @ Alabama and why he gets a raise every year. He makes more than many HC's at smaller schools do. Pretty much the entire staff gets a raise every year and the only way we lose assistants is when they move upward to other teams.

Almost 4 years and 15,000 posts with an Iowa screen name as a joke.

That is a lot of time invested in being a complete douche bag. Congratulations.
