[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1802207, member: 746137"] I love the way this pushes back on the notion that a coaching staff needs "their guys" in order to be competitive, which is something I think has been a really toxic idea all over the country. But our players deserve just as much credit for that as our coaches. The moment that defines where we are, IMO, was after we got shut out by Wisky last year on Homecoming, Illinois Football, here we go again, and Bielema made those comments about not having any OL recruits in recent classes that were contributing and it really caused a bit of an earthquake in IlliniLand. 2-10, it's all Lovie's fault, rebuilding, trust the process, no one could possibly succeed with the empty cupboard BB was left, can't judge results until year 4, the whole message board culture war all flashed into view. And then we went to Happy Valley the next week and outlasted the longest game in the history of college football. In that building during that week, the people in our program made the decision that things could be different. They chose the hard way. And now here we are. [/QUOTE]
