Bielema Claus! Arkansas head coach depicted as Santa at Alabama bar

Published Dec. 10, 2015 1:42 p.m. ET

There are a few parallels between Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema and the Christmas figure affectionately known as Santa Claus. 

For one, they're both (generally) jolly individuals, with big personalities and husky frames. In addition, each likes the color red.

In honor of the Christmas season, a Tuscaloosa bar combined its love of the holiday and Bielema into an absolutely fantastic mural. Titled "Father Bert-mass", Bielema is depicted as Santa -- enjoying a libation in front of what appears to be Bryant-Denny Stadium. 

Arkansas gave Alabama perhaps the greatest gift of the holiday season. With the Razorbacks' improbable overtime win over Ole Miss, it essentially clinched the SEC West Division for Alabama. Had the Rebels won the contest, there was a real chance Alabama would've never played in the conference title game -- thus hindering their chances at participating in the playoff greatly. 

If Bielema were to play Santa, would Alabama head coach Nick Saban assume the role as the Grinch?
