per CBS:

The buyout life is the best life, and former Arkansas coach Bret Bielema will be living right after being fired by the Razorbacks shortly after their season-ending loss to Missouri in November 2017.

According to a release from the Razorback Foundation, Bielema is eligible to receive up to $11.935 million in monthly installments through December 31, 2020. Backdating that to December 2017, that would be $322,567.57 per month. That figure is subject to the right of offset, meaning any coaching salary he receives during that time frame would be deducted what's owed to him by Arkansas.

So, to put it more simply, Bielema can be incredibly selective while choosing his next step. He told Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated that he has received feelers from NFL teams. He also said the social media aspect of college football recruiting got annoying at times and that he is also considering a role in television.

With a buyout like the one he's receiving after his stint at Arkansas, perhaps TV is the best option.

That’s a lot of cheeseburgers. Man did he own us though....
 


How do you write an article about a coach living on buyout money after being fired by Arkansas and not use the phrase "living high on the hog" instead of "living right"? I mean, really - it's right there on a silver platter.
 

I'd look for Bret to end up at Kansas State once Snyder retires.
 


He has money and a good looking wife. He sounds like a real tiger in the bushes according to this satire piece.

Overheard: lost while out recruiting, BB asked a local store owner, "How do I get back to 412?"
Store owner responded, "I'd say lay off the bread and potatoes."
 


His is living large both literally and figuratively.

"Living high on the Bielema" would have also been a more creative approach.
 

I'm not sure TV would be a good choice for BB. They say the camera adds 15 pounds..........

In other news, Golden Corral stock increased in value markedly after the news on the Bielema payout.
 




I think his best bet is losing 220 pounds or so on Nutrisystem and taking all the non offset money from the adds. Screw your Marino, Brent can do it better.
 

Is "The Biggest Loser" reality show cancelled? I think BB would benefit from the company that provided the training & nutrition that the company hired to do the show.
