Does Brett Bielema Land on His Feet or is He Left Holding the Coordinator Bag?
- Thread starter K OKeefe
- Start date
I think he will be another P5 HC one day. However, in all seriousness, the dude needs to take the next year off and focus on his health, or else that day may never come.
Good question. I think he was dumb to leave his bell cow, that move to Arkansas still stumps me.
He should float to the top with all that buoyancy. The pond will be full of stagnant water however. He should be able to take ASU down a notch.
Regardless of where he lands I think he has a bottomless bag of cheetohs in hand. Man has he gotten fat.
Wisconsin wouldn't pay assistants at a high enough rate or maybe a better term "competitive" rate
I think he heads to Jenny Craig, or Nutrisystem. Heck with Jared in prison, Subway may be looking for a new spokesperson....
He might melt like Frosty in the Arizona heat.
Ha! He could afford to melt off about a hundred pounds. Might be just what he needs!
I know he has done and said the wrong thing a few times, but hope he is able to control his weight and health
Recruiting coordinator at Iowa. With something better than Fayetteville to sell he was a good recruiter. Kick back and do that lower key job for a couple of seasons. Recover his reputation, make some relatively easy money and help the alma mater.
I wish good things for Bret. Had the chance to interview him this year and he was smart, candid, fun and surprisingly emotional. I can see why he is a good coach and I can see why players are attracted to him. He is still a Hawkeye and I wish him the best.
All you ripping him are cyber bullies and assholes period. I know Bret. We went to school together at Iowa. He’s misunderstood by Iowa fans bc he went to whiskey and before that negatively recruited against Ferentz and co. so I get that 100 percent. He was a huge Dbag but he’s changed and he 100% loves Iowa and his heritage as a Hawkeye. Iowa is his dream job. His negative recruiting was directed at Kirk and co. not the U of I. I know he regrets all that and has for years. Plus his wife is hot so lay off the pudball please!
I think some posters in another thread speculated he might end up at Kansas State if Bill Snyder retires. Bielema was a coordinator under Snyder 15-ish years ago and was cited for an OWI in Manhattan...
He needs to lose some weight for sure. I think after he got married is when he started piling on weight. I wish him the best but he better watch his health
Bret is a former Hawk and deserves at least a small amount of respect here for that alone.
I think he lands on his feet, maybe getting out of the SEC would be good for him.
Lots of HC jobs out there right now. Wish him the best unless he plays Iowa.

Because of our societies short attention span and 'what have you done for me lately' attitude, I think coaches are fearful of getting out of the loop even for a short time, but if I were BB I would take a year off, work out daily to become lean and mean, and recharge my batteries. I think there will be plenty of HC jobs available to him in 2019. The college football coaching culture is a strange world and I'm not going to pretend to understand it.
He might be best suited to sit out a year, get in shape and have a better selection of jobs to pick from.

Why is that? Similar philosophy and the record has shown it is the Whisky program that hums along (Thanks a lot Barry). BB is a good coach but what would be the tipping point vs. KF?
Brett will land on his feet again as a head coach at a P5 school. I can see him taking 1 or 2 seasons to maybe do some studio work and then get back in the game. With his coaching experience, some P5 school will want to give him a chance. I do hope he gets his weight under control. He simply doesn't look well. I fear for his health. He's not that old ...
He has won before. Knows the big, has recruiting connections in the Midwest. He will learn from his mistakes and will have a chip on his shoulder from Arkansas. I’m not firing ferentz , this is if ferentz retires.

Appreciate the response - thanks! Agree with BB being considered if timing is right should KF retire.
