[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1567542, member: 746137"] Robert Rosenthal's comparison to Arizona hiring RichRod is a really good one. Bielema at Arkansas and RichRod at Michigan have a lot in common. As do Bielema at Wisconsin and RichRod at West Va (Don Nehlen wasn't the AD, but he was and remains a very prominent figure there). And they both walk into that 3rd job in about the same place in their life and career, with similar sorts of snickers about them. The difference that jumps out is that RichRod was an offensive innovator, and he brought the same staff with him to Arizona from previous stops (including Rod Smith) and kept right on doing what he had been doing. Sounds like there may be some change with Bielema, which may not be a bad thing, but is different than the RichRod example. [/QUOTE]
