Arkansas Head Coach Bret Bielema: No-Huddle Offenses Aren’t Safe

Bret Bielema left Wisconsin for Arkansas, and he brought with him an attitude and the ability to agitate SEC coaches like none other.

After taking a shot at Alabama head coach Nick Saban, Bielema and the Crimson Tide may have found the one thing that they have in common.

They both dislike the no-huddle offense.  According to CBSSports.com, Bielema thinks no huddle offenses aren’t safe, and would like rules put in place to help the defense.

Arkansas Head Coach Bret Bielema takes Shots at Nick Saban

New Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema turned quite a few heads when he decided to leave the Big Ten power he ad built in Wisconsin, to take his talents down south in SEC country at Arkansas. But now that he is officially there, he is ready to make some noise.

And not just necessarily on the field. According to David Hendrix Jr. of Hootens.com, Bielema had this to say about the SEC and Alabama coach Nick Saban.

“The reason the SEC is talked about all the time is one team, because of their dominance. But I didn’t come here to play Alabama. I came here to beat Alabama.
“You can take Saban’s record when he was at Michigan State and when he was a coach in the Big Ten and put it against mine, and he can’t compare.”

Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson drawing comparisons to Jim Kelly

Coming off a solid 2012 campaign, Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson is slated to become one of the first quarterbacks taken in April’s draft.

According to Mel Kiper, his future team could be reaping some serious benefits.

Kiper, ESPN’s resident draft guru, told Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com that Wilson reminds him of Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame signal-caller Jim Kelly.

“Tyler Wilson going into the year you thought could be a first round pick, and now more of a second or third rounder,” said Kiper. ”A kid that can throw the football. Tough, a guy that looks down that gun barrel and makes a lot of throws. When the pressure is on him he showed he is tough and would hang in there and make some nice, accurate throws. As tough as they come. Has the toughness of a linebacker.
