Bret Bielema's downward trajectory: Wisconsin, Arkansas, 3 seasons in the wilderness

 

Mediocrity, in the bloated shape of a middle-aged white guy, once again wins the day.



He took over for Barry Alvarez and went 68-24 with the Badgers from 2006 to 2012 before leaving to coach the Razorbacks. 
He finished with a 29-34 mark at Arkansas and was fired in November 2017. 
He has spent the last three season as an assistant coach in the NFL, first with the Patriots and then the New York Giants. Whitman called Bielema a proven winner.

That's not what the University of Arkansas thought after a 4-8 losing season in 2017.
