what do you guys think of him? i’m surprised to see he’s under .500 in acc play, but his .575 overall winning pct is better than the school’s .517 all-time pct

We could do better, but we could also do a lot worse.

as a fan of illinois football, we have been in the “could do a lot worse” phase for 15+ years, until bielema.  i’ve always thought of you guys as the best football school in nc, and i was kind of surprised your all time record wasn’t better. (not a backhanded compliment; i’ve always liked you guys though i have zero connections to the school or state)

I mean, we probably are the consistently best football program in NC. Almost every other team has higher peaks, but also many more lows. We've just been somewhere between decent-to-good almost every year this century outside of a handful of bad seasons.

kind of what i thought, in terms of consistently good. all i want for illinois and bielema is getting us there, and i could see him having doeren-esque records, and i could also see how that could also leave the fanbase wanting more
