Good Riddance: U.W. Coach Quits Badgers

From jsonline:  Bret Bielema coached his final football game at Wisconsin.
Bielema has agreed to become the next head coach at Arkansas.
Arkansas officials officially announced Bielema's hiring Tuesday night.
"I am very humbled and honored to become the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks," Bielema said in an Arkansas release. "During my conversation with Jeff (Long) he described the characteristics for the perfect fit to lead this program. It was evident we share the same mission, principles and goals.
"The infrastructure in place at Arkansas shows the commitment from the administration to accomplish our goals together and I am excited to begin to lead this group of student-athletes. This program will represent the state of Arkansas in a way Razorback fans everywhere will be proud of."
UW athletic director Barry Alvarez released a statement Tuesday night:
"I was very surprised when Bret told me he was taking the offer from Arkansas. He did a great job for us during his seven years as head coach, both on the field and off. I want to thank him for his work and wish him the best at Arkansas.  http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/182062511.html
I've never like Brett Bielma, the soon to be former coach of the Wisconsin Badgers, so this is a good day for me.  It was announced that Bielma will now be the coach of the University of Arkansas Razonbacks.
When it came to big time games, Bielma was out coached most of the time.  Further, Bielma benefited from the former coach of the Badgers, Barry Alverez, by getting players that Alverez recruited.  As time went by, Bielma's recruiting class got worse and worse and that is why the Badgers ended up with a 7-5 record entering the Rose Bowl, a bowl in which the Badgers don't belong going to.
So, to Brett Bielma:
