I’ll be brief. There’s this report making the rounds that University of Arkansas football coach Bret Bielema is in “serious talks” with the folks at Nebraska to talk to the top coaching job there.
There are others better to suited than me to weigh in on how legit that report is. But what I can tell you by looking at our website analytics is that people are suddenly interested in Bielema’s UA contract details.
So here they are, including our summary of its key points. You can also download a copy right here (PDF).
Also: One of our resident sports gurus, Lee Hogan, notes that Bielema’s buyout is $2.5 million, $2 million starting Jan. 1.
And: Here’s my friend and your’s, Doc Harper, weighing in on all this.
For good measure, Bielema has offered a few thoughts as his name is tossed around the rumor mill.
Sitting in Indianapolis recruiting for 2015. This city has been great in my coaching career. Best wishes to Wisco coming back to Champ Game!
