[QUOTE="226ForbesHall, post: 1568942, member: 747841"] I gave an A. I gave an A because I believe Whitman got this one right. Fickell wasn't coming. Freeman is intriguing, but he has no head coaching experience; plus he bolts when something "better" opens. I believe Bielema will be here as long as he is doing well -- even if Iowa opens. I'm a homer, but I believe Illinois is a great job because we're in the Big Ten West. If Bielema can recruit solid three & four star players (I don't see five stars coming any time soon), then we'll compete for the West title. We'll have chances with five-star recruits in a few years if we consistently compete for Big Ten West titles. He answered the question about his past very well; I believe him. I believe he's matured and is not the same person was 20 or even five years ago. We've all made mistakes, he made his, and it sounds like he's grown. All-in-all, an A hire especially since we were not getting Campbell, Malzahn or Fickell. [/QUOTE]
