[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1568764, member: 746137"] Cheers to that. And let's hope the first 21 months or so of the Bielema era go MUCH more smoothly and according to plan than Underwood's did. The measure of the quality of the Underwood hire has been not in his straight upward path, but in his ability to adjust and survive and be enough of an asset as a coach and program builder to find the light at the end of the tunnel when everything was such a total disaster at the beginning. Brad and Bret are both grizzled pro, born-to-do-it college coaches who embrace and relish competing to stay at the top of their profession. The same could be said of John Groce or Ron Zook, it's no guarantee. But it's a bar we've failed to clear too often around here. Beckman should be working at the snack bar, Lovie wasn't cut out for college, Weber openly hated the direction the profession was going, Ron Turner had a bit of all three. [/QUOTE]
