Bret Bielema to Kansas makes sense but so do thes

Kansas hired former Arkansas athletic director on Wednesday, which made for an easy jump-to-conclusions tweet just minutes after the hire was announced.Will BretBielemabe coming with him?With media days coming up fast for the 2018 college football season,Bielemais Jarrod Dyson Jersey one of the coaches who will be mi sed most this season. He's always quotable, but he won't be on the sidelines.MORE: Arkansas finished 29-34 from 2013-17 underBielema, who dug the program out of a hole but couldn't takethe next step in the SEC West. For comparison, Bielema finished 68-24 in his previous stint with Wisconsin from 2006-12.So when is joining ???? David Schoonover (@schoondawg1) Here's what we know, based on that track record:Bielemacan coach, but he belongs in the Heartland. He's renowned for developing a big-and-beefy rungame.A landing spot in the Big 12 or Big Ten would be Adam Jones Jersey the best po sible move. So #BertWatchis on for 2019.Kansas, of course, could be one potential landing spot if David Beaty doesn't show the nece sary progre s in Year 4. The Jayhawks are 3-33 the last three seasons. Bielema could theoretically be an upgrade, but he wouldn't come cheap.Bielemaalso would need to want this job. Mark Mangino led the program to an improbable 12-1 season and Orange Bowl berth in 2007, but it went downhill quickly from there.Mangino left after a 5-7 season in 2009.Turner Zack Greinke Jersey Gill and Charlie Weis followed in Lawrence, but the Jayhawks haven't won more than three games since that 5-7 campaign in 2009. This isn't just anyrebuild.That said, Bielema could have severalpotential suitors down the line:MORE: Kansas StateBill Snyder is entering his 27th season, through two stints, as the Wildcats' head coach. He turns 79 in A. J. Pollock Jersey October.Bielemawas a co-defensive coordinator with Kansas State from 2002-03. Would Kansas and Kansas State be in a bidding war for his services?IowaThis is the best fit forBielema, on multiple levels. He played nose tackle at Iowa and was a former a sistant there from 1994-2001. Kirk Ferentz is entering his 20thseason with the program. It also givesBielemaa chance to mix it up with his former employer in the Big Ten West.IllinoisThis would also putBielemain the Big Ten West, and would mean Lovie Smith didn't make enough progre s with the program. The Illini haven't had a winning season since 2011.ColoradoThis would be a long shot, but MikeMacIntyreis coming off a 5-7 season. The Pac-12 has other second-chance coaches like Mike Leach, Kevin Sumlin and Herm Edwards. Why not addBielemato that mix?MORE: Those are the best potential landing spots forBielemadown the road. We want to Jake Lamb Jersey see him back on the sideline, and most importantly, back in the Heartland. We think that happens before 2019.In the meantime, enjoy #BertWatch.
