That’s a hundred lbs. ago!

I see him having a similar coaching experience to what he had at Arkansas. He'll start out on an upward trajectory, get an unexpected win over an overrated team with a blue blood name recognition (i.e. scUM, Iowa, Wisky, OOC. Etc), and then each year he'll get considerably worse. The whole time his wife will be shopping on Madison Ave, living on the Gold Coast and only stepping foot in Urbana-Champaign for a few hours on GameDay. Sounds like a win since I doubt she'll ever let him take a position in a podunk town like Fayetteville again

Problem for Bert is the coaching in the B1G West is quite good. Fitz, Chryst, Ferentz, and even Fleck to a lesser degree have built a system that attracts talent, players buy into and develop in.

Meanwhile, fuckhead is not a great tactical coach and he's a mile behind in talent/system development. He's never been a great recruiter and his school, while in a talent rich area, has never been a destination for that talent.

I'm with you, I think he faceplants and when you faceplant 600lbs, it's one hell of a sight.
