Fat Bert taunting
- Thread starter LarryMullenJr.
- Start date
He has done a lot at Illinois, they had a significant lack of NIL money. They will be solid next year.
Nah. Bert proving to be a classless a$$.
The substitutions are borderline, but that taunting was way over the top. He did it multiple times and held it out there while staring at the South Carolina team.... While on their side of the field.
Eff that guy
If BB had interest in the Iowa job, I would hire him. Moot point, though.
Lol, whatever. It was frickin’ hilarious, and he trolled a petulant nepo baby that had been crying about everything all game.
Fun game to watch.
Two total DBag coaches at each other's throats. Go B1G!
Happy New Year!

He totally got in his head. It was hilarious, imo.
This sh*t is divided by generation. Old heads will be appalled. Everyone else laughs. Fun game. Period.
Would take him in a minute.
I don't care what he does off the field or behind the scenes. He plays to win.
Something of a foreign concept with the current aging Iowa HC.
I guess some Hawk fans would rather lose gracefully than win football games. And Illinois has already passed Iowa on the depth chart and I suspect next few years it will be a glaring difference.

Well, he certainly is not a small one.
Love him or hate him he is a hell of a coach. It's impressive what he has done at Illinois. He is a very successful B1G coach. I know a lot of the Kirk Kool Aide drinkers hate seeing it but you have to give the guy some props. He coached a hell of a game.
Bert is a douche, that’s why he’ll never be the an Iowa HC.
That said. He won.
That said. He won.
Well....that's not the reason...but yeah...he'll never coach Iowa.
They do need to fix that substitution rule. I recall when Bielema bitched about the old rule. The intent was to allow the defense the chance to sub personnel if the offense did so, not to wind down the play clock.
Something like the defense has 15 seconds to get player subs in and others off the field or you’re assessed a timeout. And no offensive subs with the play clock at 25 seconds left. If you do then you’re assessed a timeout. That would fix it fast.

Bielema absolutely junked Beemer
I'm not a fan either, but I think it's fairly safe to say that there aren't too many guys out there universally considered to be "nice guys" who have had his coaching accomplishments.
Of course.
The guy is probably just as big of a douche as he was in college. I am not a fan. But I would gladly take him at Iowa. The guy is built for the Midwest/Big Ten football.
That pretty much is the reason. He’s not well thought of in IC. What’s your take?
He wouldn't take the Iowa job if offered. Silly to think he would.
Iowa can probably hire a better coach anyway. I hope.
Hugely. It's mostly BS. Give me championships. Everything else is just losers yapping.
Well there's lots to love, over 400 pounds it looks like to me.
During undergrad, I would occasionally run into him at The Airliner. He was always nice and would chat. He may not be a stoic competitor, but he’s a competitor.
There’s no accounting for taste.
He's been successful for the most part, but there are other options out there for a good coach without hiring a big fat slob. How in the hell does he teach discipline to his players when he has none personally. I guess he doesn't.
Bielema is a shitbag. Always has been. Always will be.
Players don’t commit to a program because the HC has an acceptable BMI.
Those are looks of “who ate the last piece of pumpkin pie” and “yeah, I ate the last half of the pumpkin pie!”
In the early 2000’s Wisconsin was hosting Penn State and if was the year they had that stupid rule where a kickoff out of bounds was only a 5 yard penalty and a 15 second run-off. Wisconsin scored with something like 42 seconds left in the first half, so Bert then had his kicker purposely shank the kickoff out of bounds three consecutive times - resulting in the end of the half. Bielema was laughing hysterically while Joe Pa was furious. The ABC cameraman followed Joe Pa on his way to the locker room, and a furious Paterno snapped at the camera and yelled, “Get outta here!” In that east coast accent. It was comedy gold.
At 74 years of age, I thought it was hilarious.
I guess the bottom line is I appreciate the work ol' Bert did for us back in the day.
I know from a good source what hes writing. It's notes on what to say in his postgame news conference. But you say, he always says the same things. You know,there are different ways to say "that's football"
Watch his presser. He wasn’t taunting the coach and it wasn’t about substitutions. It was about a kickoff signal.
It was pretty funny how biased the espn announcers were for the SEC. It was killing them how South Carolina was being taken down.

I was a student manager during 2 of Bret’s years at Iowa. I guess I have a different opinion, one of the nicest, most genuine guys I got to know.
