Great hire for the Illini. I’m not sure where it went off the rails in Arkansas… Because it looked like he was really building something his first couple years there. Was it a recruiting issue?
And there you have it!😂Pics of his wife?
Good, no Wisconsin coach has ever done well outside Barry's system.Hires Beilema
Good hire for the rest of the Big 10. He succeeded within a pre-built organization. Not much of Wisconsin's success goes to him. They were happy to see him go.Good hire for Illinois
Major step down iMO. It's amazing what being an assistant or "consultant' for the Patriots will do for a guy's coaching career.Good hire for the rest of the Big 10. He succeeded within a pre-built organization. Not much of Wisconsin's success goes to him. They were happy to see him go.
He does not have the resources, energy or discipline to succeed at a football desert like Illinois. I am pleased with this outcome. They'll stay where they are or possibly fall off even more. He's stealing their money.

Why in God's name would you hire a guy with that much baggage when you could have hired any number of young up and comers for that money who have proven they can build a program. Good heavens. Amazing.Illini to give him 6 years, 4.2 million dollars. That's a lot of slop in the trough and exhibit A that many athletic directors have no idea what they're doing. They could have done so much better.
Right now I feel like we know more about coaches stealing money.Good hire for the rest of the Big 10. He succeeded within a pre-built organization. Not much of Wisconsin's success goes to him. They were happy to see him go.

Maybe he brought his wife with him to the interview.Why in God's name would you hire a guy with that much baggage when you could have hired any number of young up and comers for that money who have proven they can build a program. Good heavens. Amazing.
Yes. He pissed off a lot of HS coaches in both Texas and Arkansas with his bravado and big ten know it all attitude. Wasn’t much appreciated down here. Consequently his recruiting dried up. Also, a lot of teams down here play wide open spread, and he was trying to enact a power game. Tough sell, ultimately cost him.Great hire for the Illini.

You come here to get some dialogue on your team since your own fans are disinterested?Do tell, Einstein!
I can see Bielma having Illinois trending upward within 3 years.
If Lovie can hang 41 on us then they can easily hang 70 on us under Bielma.
I agree. He’ll win a recruiting battle or two for the Illinois kid vs Iowa and Sconie and that’s a good thing.Good hire for the rest of the Big 10. He succeeded within a pre-built organization. Not much of Wisconsin's success goes to him. They were happy to see him go.

Please let this happen:
Wonder if he regretted going to Fayetteville..
That is cringy as heckHe needed to recruit Texas, It didn’t work, Add in drinking problem, Arrogant abrasive personality and he couldn’t keep assistant coaches.
I was living in Fort Smith Arkansas during B.B’s. stint in Fayetteville, The fanbase was very excited when he was hired, His mouth wrote a lot of checks his ability couldn’t cash, ( competing with Auburn, Alabama etc.). He did out kick his coverage with his wife so kudos for that!
^ Haha, even as an Illini fan who’s excited about this hire ... I frickin’ love the BB jokes so far. 😂
