Nebraska isn't taking a coach fired from Arkansas after 5 years of failure.  I'm not sure any Power 5 school will right away.

Illinois is basically not a power 5 program.

There are probably some Group of 5 locations more desirable than Illinois, for sure.

How does him going to Nebraska potentially help us?

Because it means they didn't hire Scott Frost.

Didn't Illinois hire Ron Zook after Florida chased him out of town?

Someone please take him.  We've already wasted enough money on him.

Don't be surprised when Frost ends up at Florida.

I doubt we do either.

Probably not.  It'll probably be Nebraska.

my son played his high school ball in illinois we had 150 kids out for just freshman ball. i was truly amazed at the quality of illinois high school football.

the problem is everybody poaches illinois high school football.

Think we could poach some of that talent?

Probably gets us out of the buyout. I don't know the details of the contract, but that's usually how those things work.

I get that, but his answer was they wouldn't hire Frost, giving us the chance to.

Any other schools in Big 10 likely to have an opening that might be interested in CBB?

Illinois needs CBB. He can't do any worse than what's currently going on there-  Champaign and CBB- perfect fit

Talk about hitting the trifecta, bye bye Jeff, Bret and some one else pays Bret's buyout.
Christmas will arrive early for the Hog nation.  If we can get a real AD and great coach, I'm going to buy some lotto tickets because I've never been so lucky.

Here is what other schools think about BB. " he won three big10 titles. Not surprised he could not win at Ar because NO ONE is going to win at AR."
Yes that was the theme, he said something along the line that CBB took a shot, tried to play in the SEC W and it didnt work out.

Lovie Smith has a $12 million buyout currently but if they keep him one more year it drops to $4 million after next season so I am betting Illinois keeps him one more year.

Nah. Every single transfer can score. The shots will come once the pecking order gets sorted out.

Nebraska is going after Scott Frost. (former player, former GA coach for Nebraska)

Frost doesn't want Nebraska. He wasn't treated there well as a player when he transferred back. It's not the love fest some think it is. Besides, why go back there as a former player and have what fans you do have turn on you when you're not getting it done. Dollars to donuts the dude stays where he is or goes somewhere in the SEC.

It's funny you mention that, I always think the same thing when we start talking about "arkansas ties".  Let's face it you are only welcome home if you are winning at a high level.

If Nebraska hires Bielema and we don't hire Scott Frost I'm burning couches.

Nebraska is going to hire Bielema & Scott Frost is going to be our next coach

I don't know whether to laugh at, or cry for, Nebraska if they were stupid enough to hire Bret.  I sure would thank them though.
