Bret Bielema keeps talking trash at Kliff Kingsbury despite losing to him
Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Bret Bielema can’t help but continue to put his foot in his mouth with another round of head-scratching quotes.
After Texas Tech beat Arkansas on Saturday, Red Raiders head coach Kliff Kingsbury said, Bielema just got his ass kicked.

Kingsbury didn’t mince his words in his post-game press conference after the 35-24 win to hand the Hogs their second straight loss after they were upset by a three-touchdown underdog Toledo in Little Rock the week earlier.
The comments from Kingsbury were personal after Kingsbury alluded to some comments Bielema made at a coaches clinic last summer in Texas and that obviously rubbed him the wrong way and he had a couple of months to let that build until it blew up on Saturday.
Bielema was on his weekly appearance on Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly on Monday afternoon and he couldn’t help but make some more comments that has to leave you wondering if someone from the athletic department is going to tell him to stop saying dumb things.
Bielema on Kliff Kingsbury: "We weren’t talking before, and we probably won’t talk now."

Bielema: If we start digging into what coaches say at clinics for motivation, it’s going to be a weird world.

Bielema: "If that was an ass-kicking, I’d love to know what last year was."

It’s that last comment that makes no sense. It’s basically saying, “I know you kicked my ass today, but remember when I did it to you?”
Arkansas beat Texas Tech 49-28 in 2014 but he’s still clinging to the “remember when…” which Tony Soprano thinks is the lowest form of conversation.
Bielema put himself out there to try to give his players some confidence after some lean years before him and with him, but when you’re losing, it just comes off as the bully who still talks trash after he got his ass beat.
