Illinois signs Bielema to 6 year extension

[CatManTrue]

Dislike him or not, Bielema can coach and he wins in the Big Ten with regularity and conviction.

Wonder if the contract has a poison pill to keep him from jumping to Iowa when Ferentz retires.

Bielema Agrees to New Six-Year Contract - University of Illinois Athletics

Bielema has elevated Illinois to new heights during his first four seasons in Champaign.

It does. Just like his last extension two years ago.

I still don’t understand why you are on a northwestern site?

Good for Bielema. I've always liked him as a coach and enjoy listening to him in interviews.

I gained more respect for him when he stood up for his team with that crap South Carolina was pulling on them!

He's quite good, and humbled by his pants pooping at Ark. He will be at ILL a long time

This is the Illini free board. NU news is on the Rock.

I agree with all of these posts.

Bielema is a hell of a coach.

When will @MRCat95 share his stories? It’s been over 3 decades and I find it hard to believe he’s got worst dirt than all the other shit that’s leaked out of Madison & Fayetteville 🧐

Once in a while, you drop the anger & post gems like this.

The Cats will shine again soon. Like the UT Coach just said: no one individual should ever become more important than the program. When that happens, ego(s) get out of control and shit gets ugly.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Braun, Lujan, McG, and the new ST coach can cook up this fall now that they have a handpicked NIL QB.

Few football teams can win without a quarterback.

When NU has a good one, expectations are met or exceeded.

When we have a bad one… get the toilet plunger ready for a Flush!
