[QUOTE="lh1216, post: 1567694, member: 746221"] I think their could be an argument made in a typical year where there is more coaching turnover Illinois may not be able to hire a coach like Bielema or there would at least be a lot more competition. This year I believe we are seeing a lot of schools hold onto coaches that they would typically fire. In a year where there is more turnover if one school misses out on their top few candidates then someone like Bielema would be their next call. I think the next two years in particular there will be more turnover than usual due to a combination of programs having more stable revenue, some top tier programs having coaches on the hot seat, and some of the low to mid tier programs having coaches that could be a flight risk. You could make the argument that almost all current Big Ten coaches could be replaced within the next year or two. Ryan Day- flight risk to the NFL James Franklin- hot seat due to program expectations Jim Harbaugh- hot seat due to program expectations and flight risk to NFL Paul Chryst- stable unless current performance repeats next 1-2 years Kirk Ferentz- currently 65 years, old could see him retiring P.J. Fleck- flight risk to bigger job Pat Fitzgerald- flight risk to NFL Scott Frost- hot seat due to program expectations Tom Allen- flight risk to bigger job Jeff Brohm- honestly could make the argument for hot seat or flight risk to bigger job depending on performance year to year Mel Tucker- secure next 1-2 years Mike Locksley- hot seat Greg Schiano- not going anywhere Throw in a few more midwest schools like ISU and Pitt possibly looking to replace head coaches in the next 1-2 years and I think there are a lot of possible landing spots for Bielema.
