New York Giants’ assistant defensive coach Bret Bielema was the University of Arkansas head coach from 2013-2017 and was dismissed under controversial circumstances.
There has been a dispute over the $12 million buyout that Bielema is owed from Arkansas because the New York Post wrote that he was supposed to “make reasonable efforts to find employment that would mitigate or offset the remaining buyout money owed to the coach.”
The problem is that New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick hired Bielema as an assistant and only paid him $125,000 a year from 2018-2019, which is a problem because it “was less than the minimum number to trigger a buyout reduction.
