Dude had to expect it.
I was at the game and wasn’t rooting for either team and the Arkansas fans booed him when his name was announced and started chanting that they wanted his ass out of town after the game. They got their wish lol.
The fact that they fired him before he even walked off the field😂
You think that is funny?
If he was black then he would’ve been black
JR You don’t say?
JR wtf no
oh yeah yeah
I’ve always liked him as a coach, hopefully he gets another job, many blessings to you coach Bielema!
Nah he robbed Arkansas blind
great coach, and im a Mizzou fan. good hard-fought close game today by Arkansas, wish him the best. no reason for people to senselessly attack coach here.
Quinn Cunningham I respect your a Missouri fan but I hate Bret bielima. He could go sleep in a lake heading to the ocean
Yeah. Wisconsin fans have plenty of reason to dislike him and laugh
I am not actually doubting he is a good coach, or at least, a decent one.
But a lot of Wisconsin fans are going to see this as Karma, especially since he fired before he even made it to the locker room.
You have to remember a few things about Bielema before he was Arkansaw's coach:
1. He was beloved at Wisconsin and viewed as the "answer" for replacing a legend.
2. He had an amazing record and recruitment status in the midwest
3. He left Wisconsin for what he deemed to be a better coaching job, despite the fact that Wisconsin has been a better program than Arkansaw for a very long time. In fact, win wise in the regular season, Wisconsin is top 10 in the country over the past decade.
4. Fine he wanted to leave, some could respect that. But he did so and announced he was doing so RIGHT BEFORE THE ROSE BOWL. Like days before. You couldn't wait until after the Rose Bowl to make that sort of announcement? Then he acted like he was the good guy saying "I am still willing to coach the badgers in the rose bowl, of course"
As if any member of that team wanted him anywhere near them after announcing he was leaving them before most of those players biggest game of their life.
I don't know if he's a bad guy, but he abandoned a top 10 program and his players right before the biggest game of their lives and hightaled it out of Wisconsin faster than ever. He is also the coach that made Wisconsin appear to be a stepping stone school.
I.E. - you coach here, you win here, so you can leave for a 'better job', kind of like what is going to happen with the coach of UCF. BUt Wisconsin isn't UCF, it's a team that, if you look at this year alone, can be a title winner. It's not a stepping stone program. But he started that reputation, which Gary Anderson than took advantage of (even though I admit, it was clear Anderson wasn't a great fit here), before we finally landed on our current coach - who we assume is loyal since he has spent most of his coaching career in and around teams in Wisconsin. But at this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if he wins a National Title this year and then decides to hop ship to... hell, arkansaw? lol
And it's nothing against our coach now, it's just the reputation of coaches coming to wisconsin, winning, then high tailing it out of town that started with Bielema.I realize Wisconsin doesn't have a title pedigree, but they could. They need a coach that wants to be here that is also very good, because guess what, Wisconsin is very good. We hope we have that now.
Best play Arkansas made on the field tonight
He fired and they still owe him 15 million.
Brian Bell 5 mill *
On Wisconsin!
There is not nearly enough blame going around for the players. A coach can only take you so far.
I know its really bullshit most of the time when coaches get fired
4-8 in your 5th year is unacceptable
@@shadykadie SEC is an incredibly tough conference to be in. Luckily, we’re doing better this year. But yeah, I guess so because our new coach already has 3 wins lol. We have an all SEC schedule this year.
He was a par to sub par coach, even at Wisconsin, he had awful use of the clock and time management, not to mention no matter what his record was, there was always one thing you could count on with him. He could never ever seem to win the Big games, when it mattered most. I was happy when he left Wisconsin, shocked but happy and his record while at Arkansas just highlighted everything he did poorly at Wisconsin, sucked at managing clock and again choked at big games when it mattered most. Hopefully he will get a job as an assistant and never again as a head coach.
At least we made it to a few bowl games with him, Chad couldn't get us past 2 wins and 0 SEC wins in 2 years
Well that was graceful
Talk about a class act to fire your coach before he even gets off the field.
Take a page from Nebraska, and fire your coach the day after. He just lost the game and you tell him he is fired too? Just not nice...
Ryan Blaney agreed. Just disrespectful... Even tho he was a enemy at one time. "Wisconsin" he still didn't deserve that.
We (Arkansas) didn’t deserve 5 years of misery
Bret has learned the SEC is big boy football. It’s played for blood. He’s a nice guy. But in the SEC nice guys finish last and get fired.
Yes And I’m Worried The Same Will Happen To Sam Pittman
They fired him as he was walking off the field. That's only second to the Lane Kiffin USC firing lmao
Can't wait to see my friend from school run for Arkansas he's committed
sad he probably makes more than all the teachers combined.
For some reason,I think Jerry Jones had something to do with this
Lasted longer than butch Jones and Jim mcelwain.
Speed bump?are you kiddin
I'm an LSU fan so idc that he got fired. GO TIGERS!!!
If Gus don't want to come here, go get Kevin Sumlin....
Thank fucking god
This is to coach Bielema's wife it's called karma
I remember when she made a fool of herself and said that....IRONY!🤣🤣🤣
He's got 15,000,000 He is fine.
that's what he get for leaving UW
#karma right Jen?
lmao at coaches who talk smack about the sec then get an opportunity to coach in it and find out it really is the toughest confrence..or at a minimum tougher than where they came from..hope to see jimbo doing the same song and dance this clown had to
#onwisconsin
I think football coach of Arkansas had a lot of problems with the players after losing to Missouri.
Hate to say, but it’s not the coaches fault, it’s the players fault
Not an easy job nothing appealing about Arkansas to most recruiters
#karma
first
Go back to Wisconsin, coach!
Stay tf away from Madison! We have our coach
@@charlie_wagons67 You mean the President's daughter from Totally Spies the one Mrs. Quivers kidnapped her and want the President to released her husband from Jail.
Liar. He’s just been lucky to get out ( like he did in Wisconsin) before they fire him. He was in trouble for trying to pick up 18 year old students while in Madison.
Well he's gotta get a job somewhere for some money. Might as well be a Sumo wrestler with all the McDonald's he's had over the past few years lol
Not funny
Finally he is gone
Good . when he came from the big ten he came for the money . he should have not been hired in the first place. Because he was talking shit about the sec and the rest of the south . in the big ten it is a 3 yards and a cloud dust always and forever. Yes the big ten is getting to be little better. Down south football is god . great weather most of the time . the only place that maybe better is California
zeus44tko2 SEC sucks bro
That guy over there lol
I don't think you actually understand what you're talking about.
Once you're on the team in the Big 10, yes, it's easier to stay on the team because they only require you to maintain a barely passing college courses level of GPA. Take Wisconsin - you only have to maintain a barely passing level of GPA to stay on the team while attending fulltime. However, to get into the college to play football you have to have a GPA of at least 3.3 in HS and a decent score on the ACT. In fact, we have DENIED players we have recruited, both in Basketball and Football, from coming who committed because they did not meat the academic requirements to get into Wisconsin.
Those players did end up running off to SEC teams, who basically have no standards other than "as long as you graduated HS" to play sports for them.
Since many Big 10 teams operate like Wisconsin with the academics, not only do 95% of players average well above the minimum GPA (because they were already really good students with good habits in HS), a lot of the top student athletes in terms of academic achievement also hail from the big 10. It's one of the things the conference is well known for, a high level of academic achievement throughout their sports players.
Meanwhile, not only are there exceptions made for athletes in the SEC (aka, they lower they standard of entry for an athlete that the big 10 doesn't), they also don't even have to maintain a passing grade to continue to play sports.
But, let's ignore all of that. Because you make baseless assumptions about the big 10 while actually ignoring the facts and the average GPA level of the student athletes at these schools, most of which graduate with degrees as well.
It also doesn't really make any sense to say "the big 10 can't even go toe to toe with itself". What do you mean the big 10 can't do that? Is it because Wisconsin is undefeated? Or is it because all the other good to great big 10 teams this year have 2 or more losses... to other big 10 teams? Wouldn't that actually indicate they CAN go toe to toe against each other since they... beat each other up?
And yes, you are showing heavy SEC bias, just as I apt to show heavy BIG 10 bias. But, when I try to look beyond the obvious bias we both have...
It's hard to really say which conference is better, let alone that "down south football is god" with the defense of "great weather most of the time" and only "california is better".
Since when does weather actually determine who has better football teams? And wouldn't the team capable of not slowing down because of weather have an advantage? Say the "3 yards and a cloud of dust" comment - what does that mean? That Big 10 teams can't throw the ball? I don't understand that.
You know what big 10 teams do? Typically they play NFL style football, which... low and behold, translates well at the next level. Whether they play for a dome team or an outdoor team, up north or down south. Yes, the SEC does typically get the better players with bad GPAs who never want to play in the cold, but the big 10 produces plenty of their own NFL studs.
I think at the end of the day it's silly to say any conference leaves the other in the dust with weather as an argument.
zeus44tko2 ya like Wisconsin look at them they're likely gonna be in the tournament
Pee Pee Suck yeah they look like going to playoffs if they can get pass Ohio state.but everyone else that's in playoffs has a fast offensive and run circles around them
Whiner,15 million reasons to leave.I would stop whining and take the money and run.just sayin'
'
Not his fault the team is stupid and worthless. You can polish a third all you want but its still a turd
Idiot
Tbh this nigga ain't bad. His last game today they put in effort because the team knew the coach could have been fired. He has own show on Saturday at 1 or 12 in the morning lol I saw it when I stood up watching Rerun's of Rosanne and that 70s show. He was a cool guy. Idk much about her m because I came out my mothers whom 14 years ago but he wasn't bad. Heck I wanna see him go to Missouri (hometown) and beat Arkansas (current home location)
