They must be offering him a significant pay raise. CU is so terrible it is going to take a huge effort just to make them look competent.

4 of the past 5 years UC has been Big East champs, but it's still the Big East and I guess Big 12 or Big 10 is still sexier, even if it's worse programs

B. There has been alledged friction between Bronco and AD Tom Holmoe and this has easily been the most frustrating season for BYU fans since he took over. Bronco does not always have the thickest of skins and with many believing he badly mishandled the QB situation, it could be to the point he is looking for a change and/or escape from the pressure of Provo.

There are also rumors of disharmony among some of the coaches, so if he does stay I see changes on the staff.

I don't think he did. I think there would have been more coming out of the Utah press in regards to it and word from others that he had. He has been tripping for recruiting, so I don't think he would stop on in at CU to interview and then head on up to OSU to meet with Kearsely and such.

I think it was a reporters wish to have him there.

And about have of our stupid fan bases wish. This was definitely not a stellar year for Bronco and I worry is too stubborn at times, but he is still a great fit for BYU and he has adapted in the past. Hopefully this last season was a fluke on terms of some of his decisions and he realizes he needs to upgrade a couple of coaching positions (RB and O-Line) and does so.

Hey, nobody that coaches is perfect, god knows there are decisions I wish I could have taken back over the years, but you live and learn. You here anything on Sitake?

MJ4H · 12-04-2012, 11:58 AM

No sources, so stfu. Just reporting the latest buzz is Mike Gundy to Arkansas is done. Simply an FYI since you said you missed me and it wasn't the same without me. And I have to login to see the forum nowadays.

Logan · 12-04-2012, 12:04 PM

John Daly broke that on Twitter. John Daly!

duckman · 12-04-2012, 12:15 PM

According to a TV station in Arkansas, Gundy has been offered the job and has until tomorrow to decide.

molson · 12-04-2012, 12:16 PM

I thought the Coach Peterson to Arkansas press conference was a done deal for today?

Hogs have their coach. Not Gundy. Should be announced today

MJ4H · 12-04-2012, 12:25 PM

Mora isn't jumping to the SEC for Tennessee or Arkansas.

He's waiting for the Washington job to open up...

That's really been my problem with him. I think as far as big picture, I'm happy. Game management, my feeling without being able to recall specifics is he's been an eyebrow raiser more than once for me. What the heck. His resume looks pretty good. Let's do it. I'm on board.

dawgfan · 12-04-2012, 02:11 PM

I know Arkansas has the lure of the SEC, really good facilities and probably a lot of money (via Jerry Jones) to offer a coach, but wow - stealing Bielema away from Wisconsin? That's impressive. I didn't think they'd be able to pull off something like that.

MrBug708 · 12-04-2012, 02:11 PM

If Chryst leaves Pitt after a year, they need to disband football

Izulde · 12-04-2012, 02:12 PM

Bielema is a horrible gameday coach and he's definitely downgraded Wisconsin from the Alvarez days IMO.

He's married now (not that it means anything) but I've heard plenty of stories that makes me think he has some tendencies similar to the former Arkansas coach who I'm sure you'd rather I not mention his name

But yeah.. He's good at taking average recruiting classes and coaching them up into a decent team until he makes a boneheaded in-game decision.

MrBug708 · 12-04-2012, 02:22 PM

Bret probably saw the Urban buzzsaw coming

Um, really? Alvarez had some great years, but Bielema has the better record. Seems more accurate to say that Bielema revived a Wisconsin program that had started to get stale and mediocre under Alvarez.

That's a fair assessment.

Yet in my own little corner of the world, people are almost unanimously happy about Bielema leaving. Of course, recruit are wavering and if they hire a dud we'll be yearning for Bret in a few years. I just think Wisconsin could do better. Will they do better? That remains to be seen.

Passacaglia · 12-04-2012, 03:07 PM

I'm surprised he would leave a gig like Wisconsin.

Logan · 12-04-2012, 03:09 PM

So that leaves Tennessee as the last job Charlie Strong would take, right?

britrock88 · 12-04-2012, 03:44 PM

My theory: Bielema really wants the Iowa gig (he has a Hawkeye tattooed on his calf, after all). Iowa can't fire Ferentz for the time being because of his monstrous buyout. When that becomes more reasonable in a few years, though, Ferentz is gone, and Iowa is looking for a new coach. Perhaps Bielema feels that Iowa would rather hire from Arkansas than from Wisconsin, historically a strong rival (until the B1G killed that in the divisional setup).

In the alternative, $$$.

britrock88 · 12-04-2012, 03:45 PM

Dola-

How many BCS-bound coaches will jump ship? Strong would make 3 if it comes to pass...

Kodos · 12-04-2012, 03:51 PM

Kodos · 12-04-2012, 03:52 PM

tarcone · 12-04-2012, 03:59 PM

I dont know if I want BB. But I imagine you are on to something britrock.
But I think Ferentz is grooming his son to take over his job.
Then again a 2-10 season next year, we will be talking Iowa hiring a new coach.

molson · 12-04-2012, 04:18 PM

And it doesn't just happen with the minor bowls - Bielema is likely going to skip out on the Rose Bowl. I wonder if this will still happen once there's a playoff.

Apparently Bielema wants to coach the Rose Bowl and the University doesn't want him to.

molson · 12-04-2012, 04:23 PM

And also, it was @HogManInLa, Ryan Wright, "Editor and lead writer for all things Arkansas Razorbacks on Razorbackers.com" who reported that Arkansas recruits were told that Coach Petersen was going to be the new coach and that it was going to be announced on Tuesday. He made that up. And yet, that will be forgotten pretty much immediately and this guy will continue to be cited as a source for Arkansas coaching moves. There should be a twitter shame database so it's easier to keep track of these things.
