[QUOTE="Love the Illini, post: 1567992, member: 628271"] Coach is a true college coach who knows the midwest and will all ready have a relationship with many of the coaches which can only help with recruiting. I also think his college connections will help him hire a good staff one that is more connected to the college game. Lovie never could get away from his pro roots and never really got off the ground from a recruiting stand point. Coaches teams will be aggressive and physical on both sides of the ball which fits the returning offensive talent that we have. Defensively makes since to go to a 3-4 look as college offenses as it is easier to defend the spread offenses that continue to become more and more prevalent in the college game. Bielema is a good coach and probably the best proven coach Illinois was going to get to take the job. Whether he can turn around a program that has been more below than above average over the last 40 years is another question. You could make the argument right now unfortunately that Illinois is one of the toughest places to win in the entire power five. Good luck to coach and hope he can get it done [/QUOTE]
