Bret Bielema – Arkansas Razorbacks

Stock: Up

Right now Bielema is in the best possible position, but that could all change after this season if the Razorbacks don’t take another step in the right direction.

A big improvement in won-loss record, and a bowl game blowout win in the Texas Bowl over the Longhorns raised his stock significantly. The Razorbacks got themselves a nice recruiting class, and other than Bielema continuing to drone on about the 10-second rule and hurry-up offenses, he’s managed to keep things pretty quiet in Fayetteville this offseason.

He’ll need to follow up with some more wins in 2015 to keep that stock rising.
