Bielema never got an offer. That would completely contradict everything Eichorst stands for. Bielema's agent was pandering for a raise with a bunch of smoke. Zero fire.
He was first target…agree or not, not going to get into "pissing" match on sources…. but as I have eluded to a fe other times….in the 10 or so years on HB, I haven't claimed to be "in the know"…. but I KNOW 100% he was first target.
He was never a contact. I have it on reasonably good info. Not to mention the fact that IT MAKES ZERO SENSE. Why fire Pelini mostly for his character...in order to hire a guy EXACTLY LIKE PELINI
He may not have made contact, but I from more than reasonably good source that he was in deed the first "target"…maybe his agent said no right out of the gate, but he was who SE wanted.
I haven't pooped today, but it isn't quite coming out of my ears yet. I understand everyone needs a "source", but I am not going there.. so those who know how I know will understand, and those who don't will question…. no problem, I understand how message boards work…. Just glad we have MR, not BB
