Saban-Bielema brings winning resumes, booming personalities together

Let's get one thing clear: Not much shakes or rattles Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema.

He's become a reality TV star, took the Big Ten by storm, brought some much needed public bravado to the SEC coaching pool, and he isn't afraid of big, bad Bama.

"You really don't need an extraordinary, out-of-the-body experience [to beat Alabama], you just need to do your job," Bielema said during his Monday news conference. "The more you press, the more you try to make something more than it needs to be, you probably end up misfiring."

However, one thing Bielema hasn't done during his four seasons at Arkansas is beat Alabama, but this weekend provides him the opportunity to exorcise that crimson demon for a program that hasn't beaten Alabama since 2006.
