Things going well at Illinois








What other departments does the team have besides the playing department?
 





I think he ate the person that asked him the question.

This guy should have just lost every recruit/player he has.

"I learned coaches are only as good as the players."

So basically: "I learned early that when players suck so do the coaches and these players suck"
 








He’s no different than other HC’s. He wants to win. And he will be looking the type of player that fits into his program. Love struggled there and BB has raised the bar and realizes he must improve recruiting. Honest appraisal so now we will find out if he can elevate the program. Tough gig
 





Brett Bielema's conference record the last three years as a coach (2021, 2017, 2016):
13-19; 5-15 in conference.

Illinois the last three years:
10-18; 6-14 in conference.

I guess the players are only as good as the coach. A really shitty jockey can undercut even the most talented horses.

It's pretty shitty to throw your team but it's the height of absurdity to do it when your conference winning percentage in the last three years .300.
 


I miss Lovie already. One of the most incompetent coaches to walk the sidelines in the B1G in decades, but managed to keep his job for quite a little bit in Champaign. He was the gift that just kept on giving.
And he beat Wisconsin! Though I think that Scott might be worse. He has done about the same with much less resources than Lovie.
 





I think he's right.

I don't think he's real worried about losing players that he doesn't want taking roster spots anyway.
He needs half these guys to leave so he can recruit and move in real talent.

This is just his pre-speech that next year will be year zero for him.
 

Amazing, king butt couldn’t get out of his first season without throwing his “super seniors” under the bus, if you recall, he talked a lot of them into coming back one more season….wow, basically pathological..
He said that Lovie's oline recruits for the last 3 classes aren't in the two deeps, and that they recruited/developed no quarterbacks and relied on transfers -- I didn't hear him say anything about the "super seniors"
 

Last couple Illinois recruiting classes have been in the 70-90 range.

That's not good.
