[QUOTE="WeWillWhen, post: 1567606, member: 746923"] Many of you said you wanted someone with success as a P5 coach. That list is small. Doubtful that a former PAC-12 or Big-12 coach would have necessary recruiting ties in the Midwest. No formerly successful SEC coach is looking for a gig in Champaign. If Whitman was looking for someone who had a history of success as a head coach in the BIG, his candidates under the age of 65 were Meyer, Bielema, Bill O’Brien, Brady Hoke and Bo Pelini. I’m optimistic that BB will be better than Lovie; that’s movement in the right direction. If he incrementally improves the program to a consistent 6-7 wins/year, that makes the position far more attractive if/when he moves on to something else. [/QUOTE]
