FootballScoop.com reports that Nebraska is targeting Arkansas HC Bret Bielema to replace Bo Pelini.
The site also reports that the Huskers are "in serious talks" with Bielema. Nebraska’s athletic director, Shawn Eichorst, worked for with Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez from 2009-11 and is purported to be a huge fan of Bielema's. It might seem like a tall task to convince Bielema to leave two years into his Arkansas tenure after he's rebuilt the program as he sees fit and has it headed towards SEC competitiveness, but this is, of course Bret Bielema. And Bret Bielema has pulled off a bigger stunner before, leaving a cushy job with the Badgers for the rebuilding effort required at Arkansas. For what it's worth, Bielema is telling the media that he's committed to Arkansas long-term.
