According to sources, Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema has accepted the open coaching position at Arkansas.

Arkansas is expected to officially announce Brett Bielema's hiring Tuesday.

Arkansas AD Jeff Long has not formally acknowledged the hiring but did tweet "New Football Coach release at 6:05 PM Today Go Hogs!!!"

Bielema has led the Wisconsin Badgers to 3 consecutive Rose Bowl appearances including this year after a blow out win over Nebraska Saturday in the Big 10 Championship game.

Bielema is also 44 games over .500 in his tenure at Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has not announced whether Bielema will coach the Badgers in next month's Rose Bowl Game against Stanford, however most reports are saying that will not happen.

The Razorbacks went 4-8 this season under interim head coach John L. Smith, who just never really seemed to have the pulse of "Hawg Nation".
