Rumors are out there linking Nick Saban to the Cleveland Browns. Sports on Earth notes that the only reason for him to go would be to prove he can win in the NFL after flaming out in Miami.

I like the hire. Between him and Stu Morrill, USU had 2 hidden coaching gems. Of the candidates that were actually available, he was the best IMO. And man, was his presser impressive.

It will be funny to have a bunch of Samoan linemen

Arkansas homerism has begun, well continued actually, and is in full force

Bielema has been criticized for things he’s said before, and he hasn’t toned down his act yet. As Jim Harris noted last week, his comments about Urban Meyer bringing SEC recruiting tactics to the Big 10 was roundly ridiculed. His willingness to needlessly respond to biligerent fans on twitter is well-documented. He isn’t afraid to run up the score on helpless opponents. He’s big. He’s bold. He doesn’t hold back. That’s who he is. That’s what got him this far. And now he says he wants to tone it down because of some meaningless offseason heat brought on by touting his own record?

Please.

If anything, Bielema should be more brazen. Not only is his Big 10 record much better than Nick Saban’s and almost every other Big 10 coach in history, but he’s a whopping 18 years younger than Saban. He probably hasn’t even hit the prime of his coaching career, and he’s already earned trips to three Rose Bowls, he’s already been the head coach of 22 players picked in the NFL Draft, and he was the hand-picked successor of a local legend in Madison. And then you know what Bielema did?

He left.
