if an Illinois coach had that record after 7 years he literally would have been the best Illinois coach of all time.Should have fired him after that 5-4 conference record in 2018. Lol.

they would move the Alma Mater to somewhere else on campus and put his statue in her placeif an Illinois coach had that record after 7 years he literally would have been the best Illinois coach of all time.
ok, and this is an honest question. has this board ever been this out of touch with reality?
By Grabthar's Hammer...I don’t know how he’s going to make it with only $11M (/s)

Now compare to Nebby over the same period. They're the ones who should hire Chryst, now.Should have fired him after that 5-4 conference record in 2018. Lol.

And essentially they got a rich donor to cover almost half of the original $20M buyout — Paul Chryst.Plus don't you just need a rich donor to cut a check for this? I don't know the new rules with NIL, etc.
I remember seeing the Bama coeds and ladies in the bars at '82 Liberty Bowl. Was astounded. No beer goggles necessary.I used to live in Tuscaloosa. The coeds are more attractive IMO
There were some major behind the scenes issues with Hermann at Texas. Idk if he’s proven enough to offset those concerns. I have a friend who Hermann hired and he would just constantly refer to him as an overgrown frat boy.No, frankly. I'm unavoidably biased but no.
I've seen Bronco Mendenhall's name get mentioned. I would hire Tom Herman personally.
The uncertainty of what conference they're playing in definitely hurts them. How do you know what staff to build if you don't know if you're going to be in a California-centered league or a Texas-centered league?
(I'm like 92.4% sure the Pac 12 stays together, but the schools are extremely jumpy and panicky and vulnerable to making an irrational decision right now)
A lot of similar stuff has been whispered about Bielema over the years, for whatever that's worth.There were some major behind the scenes issues with Hermann at Texas.

The difference is BB had the consistent, high level success while doing what he was doing. Hermann was good at Houston but not good at UT.A lot of similar stuff has been whispered about Bielema over the years, for whatever that's worth.
In his case I think a 38 year old millionaire bachelor whose career has been a rocket ship straight upward is naturally someone with different desires and appetites in his life than a 52-year old married father of two who's been fired and spent some time in a sojourn in the NFL. He's still an "everything all of the time" guy, it's just that "everything" is different now.
That's as to the frat boy part. Overgrown on the other hand....
Eh, Herman has had a winning season every year both overall and in conference, is 5-0 in bowl games, had a 10+ win season at both of his stops, and was an outstanding OC at programs big and small before that. And Texas, the special couple of quarterbacks they're soon to have notwithstanding, is no better off without him.The difference is BB had the consistent, high level success while doing what he was doing.

What!??? Are you crazy? I sincerely hope Coach B isn’t planning on going anywhere. Who cares who coaches Wisconsin or Iowa, they are our rivals. I hope Coach B brings football success to ILLINOIS! And ILLINOIS only!If Wisconsin continues to nosedive this season (short term), or if 67 year old Ferenz of Iowa ever decides to retire (longer term), I would think they would at least consider offering the HC job to Coach B. He left Wisconsin with a great record and a solid support base, and played for and coached at Iowa. Wisconsin would not let any ill feelings they hold about Coach B's sudden departure deter them from trying to lure him back to restore the luster to their program, and you always have warm feelings about the team you played for and that gave you your start in coaching (Iowa). I trust our AD is doing everything possible to ensure a long and happy stay for Coach B at Illinois. After several decades, we finally have a great man and outstanding coach leading our football program.
Barring a falling out between BB and the DIA, it'll come down to this: What does Coach B want to do?What!??? Are you crazy? I sincerely hope Coach B isn’t planning on going anywhere. Who cares who coaches Wisconsin or Iowa, they are our rivals. I hope Coach B brings football success to ILLINOIS! And ILLINOIS only!
I really believe the odds of BB going back to Wisconsin, or to Iowa, are so small I would not lose one millisecond of sleep over it. I dont think he leaves us for any other conference blueblood school eitherIf Wisconsin continues to nosedive this season (short term), or if 67 year old Ferenz of Iowa ever decides to retire (longer term), I would think they would at least consider offering the HC job to Coach B.

Definitely will need to get over those frat boy tendencies if he goes to ASU haha.Eh, Herman has had a winning season every year both overall and in conference, is 5-0 in bowl games, had a 10+ win season at both of his stops, and was an outstanding OC at programs big and small before that. And Texas, the special couple of quarterbacks they're soon to have notwithstanding, is no better off without him.
When Houston beat Oklahoma in the first game of his second year there, the Herman hype train got totally out of control in a way he wasn't ultimately able to live up to, but he's been really successful and is one of the best offensive minds out there. He'll be back.
I see some buzz for him at Arizona State, that seems like it might be a good fit.

Now, if we became awesome for awhile, would he ever leave for a blueblood out of conference, if they came calling ? maybe, but I think because he flamed out in the SEC once, he has lost that desire to do that again.
losing a HC or any other coach due to us being so good they are in demand should not worry anyone. Embrace that notion.
The problem isn't losing a coach to another program, it's who they're replaced with.Understood, but U of I fans have seen this movie before and get the yips easily.
See Self, Bill.
The best ADs in America have made bad choices. See Smith, Lovie.The problem isn't losing a coach to another program, it's who they're replaced with.
