Bret Bielema to ILL

[Vizsla1]

Heeeee's back

 

[lo country]

Good get IMO.  He knows the B1G and had great success at Wisky.  

 

[B.B. Hemingway]

Great hire. Frost's job just got even harder.

After going 92-68 in 7 years at Wisconsin he went 29-34 after 5 years at Arkansas.  Def has B1G experience which I'm sure was a plus to Ill.

His run at Arkansas was a s#!tshow. Guess we'll see what he can do at Illinois...

Arkansas was a mess before Bert ,still are, I would not be surprised if he turns Illinois into a decent to good team most years.

Good to know he's still around. Figured he had expanded into infinity ala Mangino.

...as if Illinois isn't a mess?

Sounds like it was BB or Monken or Leopold.

In the end this seems like a really good hire.  

 

[jaws]

I love it. #karma. 

 

[RedDenver]

I think it's pretty clear that Alvarez is the reason for Wisconsin's success. Not sure Bielema can take too much credit there. I guess we'll find out, but my money is on fired after 3 seasons.

 

[Stumpy1]

Great hire by them.

So will BB be all IN for the trip to Ireland?
