Having to live in Champaign would be the perfect penance for what he's done at Iowa.

While I am in favor, I doubt Bielema would replace his 111th ranked OC with our 120th ranked OC.

But we could hope....

Bielema is the mirror opposite of KF. While KF always waits too long to make a move, BB is maybe a little too impulsive.

But I have to admit, its refreshing to see a head coach fire his OC because his offense sucked. At least BB is willing to admit when something is not working and you need to try something different. Maybe his OC deserved to be fired, maybe not, but he was not going to stick to the status quo. The guy is sending a message, the offense needs to get better,or else.

True enough, but even @ Illinois they have a time frame for seeing results in the win/loss column. Bret doesn't have the luxury of having a major university athletic department over a barrel with regards to a HC essentially being the AD.

Wouldn’t be a good fit. Bret actually enjoys scoring points and winning by margins of more than 3-5 points per game.
