In his career as a college head coach, Bielema holds a 98-58 overall record in stops at both Wisconsin and Arkansas, where he was fired from in November of 2017.
On top of that, teams under Bielema have made it to a bowl game 10 out of 12 years, including three appearances in the Rose Bowl.
Known as one of football’s better defensive minds, Bielema would be a huge hire for the Golden Eagles.
