@dennisdoddcbs

Bret Bielema “very” interested in Mich St job per sources. There has been contact between the parties but not much more than that. Good culture fit with BB’s B10 roots. Many reporting this morning. Not sure where Luke Fickell is with his interest in the job.
Go for it!!!!

Squelch on the Giants just as you did with the Badgers.

even if Bielema doesn't take this job, what are the odds he's on enough short lists to keep getting feelers potentially creating a coaching distraction going forward?

They could "move" Sherrer to OLB coach (he was the OLB coach with Georgia and coached Lorenzo Carter) and hire an ILB coach like Pierce.

Bielema is the 1 asst coaching hire whose reported exploits don’t seem to mesh with advertised Judge criteria ... but then why would MSU want him ?They’ve already got a lot of baggage on their plate.

True. In the 70’s, All the women working in the Giants organization we’re absolutely coeds. Now they’re all senior citizens .

It is probably the first thing on Bret’s mind.

Eliyah : 2/10/2020 1:29 pm : link
His interest in taking an HC role if MSU offers one. Having said that, I wouldn't lose much sleep. I'm sure Judge can shuffle or replace without too much impact to the overall equation.
'but then why would MSU want him ?'  
Torrag : 2/10/2020 1:33 pm : link
Because he's a good football coach and it's a winners business.
Seriously, I don't think we'd miss him at all  
Jim in Forest Hills : 2/10/2020 1:40 pm : link
He's a huge rah rah guy, he's good at that, but he left Wisco when Wilson was going to the nfl. Went to ARK and did absolute shit in the sec. He did not coach up that team at all.

the Giants will miss him. Judge thought he was the best OLB candidate out there. Some of you guys are in denial.
guys  
Platos : 2/10/2020 2:17 pm : link
why wouldn't he be interested in a HC job?

don't be stupid.

also the money aspect. i believe arkansas was still paying him up until last year but they realized new england was only paying him 50K and stopped payments.
arkansas quit paying bielema buyout - ( New Window )

Well, yeah, but imagine Joey Porter on the Giants coaching staff. It'd be so cool...at least for a while.

I’m sure Judge’s feelings have changed after this news...
If he has the chance to be a HC at a DI program like MSU  
Tom in NY : 2/10/2020 3:03 pm : link
the Giants need to let him go after it. LB coach is no comparison to that job.

That said, how does MSU sell to the public, given it's recent history of sexual abuse, hiring a guy who has been found to be dating coeds?
Ah well, that's MSU's issue.

MOOPS : 2/10/2020 4:23 pm : link
but with all that's been happening at MSU, good chance they don't want him.
As a side note, Robert Saleh already turned down the MSU job.
Can you blame him for wanting a head coaching gig?

I have left jobs after holding them for a short period of time because a better opportunity came along. Teams have no problem firing coaches so why should this surprise anyone.

some people can convince themselves of anything. Judge's primary choice may leave and that's somehow a good thing.

Whether it's Joey Porter, Pepper Johnson, or Antonio Pierce, I never assume there's any connection between being a good player and being a good coach. Completely different skill sets.
really all about what is good for the individual

sorry but the Giants won't be his last job in football. Probably desires the leadership role if true as opposed to individual contributor. then there is the pay
Did you ever think that maybe this was discussed beforehand?

I have nothing against him or his hiring. I’m of the belief that, if he goes, fine, no harm done. Better now than closer to the season.

While the last part of this is definitely true, we don't really know what Judge thought of him. For all we know, it was a weak field for OLB coaches and Bielema was just the best of the bunch. There might not be much of a drop off to the next candidate.

They essentially poached him from Belichick's staff. I have to think Judge had a very high opinion of him.
Perfect fit at MSU

They are hiring Mel Tucker.

A good choice, also with Badger connections.
