What system is that exactly? He won with the system Wisconsin had in place and failed at turning Arkansas into a relevant program despite bringing in decent recruiting classes. Paul Chryst would run circles around this guy.Of course I can. Because coaching in the Big 10 at Illinois, is ALOT EASIER than trying to compete against Alabama, Auburn, LSU in the SEC West. I mean, not having success in the toughest conference in America doesn't mean he can't beat the NWs, Iowa, WI's at Illinois. It's a different ballgame.
If I were a fan of an SEC team, no I would not hire Bielema. And I would look at his stretch at Arkansas and determine his system won't work in the SEC. But Big 10, I believe his system will work. Some coach's systems work in the Big 10, and don't elsewhere. You'll see Mike Leach will probably fail at MS State because his system won't work in the SEC. Doesn't mean Leach isn't a good coach in other conferences. He'll probably be fired at MS State and go back to the Big 12 where his stuff will work. It's all about fit. Bielema's system is made for Big 10 football IMO. It's not for the SEC.
