Bret Bielema: "the Lord decided" Arkansas should have a tough season
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/bret-bielema-opens-struggles-during-first-season-arkansas-204545754--ncaaf.htmlBret Bielema’s first season at Arkansas didn’t go exactly as planned....
In a Q&A with the Associated Press, Bielema said "the Lord decided" Arkansas should have a tough season and that he learned a lot more from the losses than he would have from wins.
Question: Arkansas went 3-9, what's the emotional toll of that?
Answer: "It is what it is. I don't have a reaction one way or the other. Obviously (I) didn't want to go 3-9, but it was the reality of what it was. For whatever reason, the good Lord decided us to be that way. There's a certain amount of teaching that can come from a win, but I do think you learn more from losses than you do from wins. Just the inventory that you press, if you're a true competitor, the way that you react. You'll get more out of a defeat ... Now, obviously, it's not great for recruiting, it's not great for anybody involved, fans, coaches, players, staff, whatever it is. But it is what it is."
