Bret Bielema is the Second Best Coach in the SEC

Nick Saban is the best coach in the Southeastern Conference, but not far behind him is a lovable big guy named Bret. Bret Bielema, the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks is one of the most underrated coaches in the nation.

Look at the in-game and in-season adjustments he makes to put his team in the perfect place to succeed, these are adjustments that I honestly don’t think Coach Freeze would make.

Last season, the Razorbacks lost their two big-time running backs, so what did they do? They became a passing team and Brandon Allen emerged as a star quarterback.

He prepares his team in a way I have never seen done at Ole Miss. The Rebels will usually run the same style offense no matter the opponent. Arkansas tailors their offense to the team it is facing.

Watch the Ole Miss game, where the recievers ran short slant routes and comeback routes to feed on the soft coverage, and look at the Texas A&M game or even the Alabama game, and look at the offense they run.

There are times I wonder if our coaches even scout the team they are playing, and Coach Freeze’ comment before the game last night was not very comforting on that front either. Saying that the team has not even talked about last season once.

Well maybe that is why the Hawgs ran all over you, Hugh?

We’re on to LSU.
