Nebraska is looking for a new football coach, and recently fired Bret Bielema’s name is being floated a lot.
Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman is one of the many people associating the two, believing Bielema could be Mike Riley’s replacement.
Curious to see what happens with the #Nebraska job. Expect them to go hard after Scott Frost but think they’ll have some good options. Among them Bret Bielema.

Of course, he isn’t the only one churning up some speculation.
fwiw: I wouldn’t hate Bret Bielema to Nebraska….

I know Scott Frost is the name everyone expects at Nebraska, but I would seriously consider Bret Bielema. He has already won in the Big Ten and would bring the style Nebraska should be playing.

Big Ten West isn’t exactly the SEC. He’s a proven Big Ten winner. And, honestly, if Nebraska doesn’t get Frost, I’m not sure they can do better. It’s been 16 years since Nebraska was Nebraska. They need an identity. Bielema would bring that.

If I’m Nebraska I have plane waiting for Bielema … he knows how to coach in the Big Ten

Did I go to Heaven or did Christmas just come early this year? I don’t know what I did to make God bless me so much, but Bielema to Nebraska would be incredible for so many reasons.
Obviously, right now this is all just speculation, and nothing has been set in stone. Having said that, I think Bielema to Nebraska isn’t even that bad of a hire. He dominated when he was at Wisconsin, and his style of coaching is way better fitted for the Big Ten. I can’t stand the guy, and even I can admit it’d be a very solid hire. That’s how you guys know I’m always honest and real.
I’d also love to have Bielema play Wisconsin every single year. That would be some of the best entertainment we could get in sports. It’ll be majestic to watch him as he’s forced to see Wisconsin’s monumental rise not even slow down.
Please, for the love of everything righteous in this world, allow this to come to fruition.
