It’s not outrageous to think that LSU would be interested in Bielema, but it’d be hard to see him heading south. Arkansas already pays him more than $4 million a year and that number could jump significantly should he get interest from a deep-pocketed school. He also has built a foundation of what he’d like to do at Arkansas, and the expectations are far lower there than they would be, immediately, at LSU. He is, by all accounts, completely happy in Fayetteville. Also, if Bielema were to leave Arkansas, he’d be chancing losing to the program he built annually for a few years. Why would anyone sign up for that kind of referendum?
