This is the part where, were the situations reversed, you would play meathead and point out that Bret Bielema is 13-12 in two years at Illinois, pretty close to definitional mediocrity.

If Bielema takes us to four straight bowl games after a couple decades of mediocrity, that'd be fantastic.  Underwood already got us there (ignoring that more teams make bowl games than the tournament) and he gets shat all over every time he's mentioned here.

I think you are mostly right here. But at the same time, Illinois IS/has been a bad football program. Illinois is not historically a bad basketball program. Underwood is a competent coach. Can/could we do better? Probably. For the 60th time, I am not calling for him to be fired. That’s ridiculous at this point.

Lou Henson was pushed out for where the program currently is with Underwood.

Same with the end of Weber.

This past years level has always been a fireable level.

“Is” might be strong. “Trending” might be more accurate.

Quite a few, yes.  And many, many more including most of this board who talk about him like they wouldn't let him coach their 7th grade daughter's team.

Lots of very, very basketball stupid people out there.  Led by our very own Dom, the most basketball stupid person on the Internet.

Honestly, though…I wouldn’t want a grown man yelling at my daughter like that…

Calling someone a moron and STFU are perfectly fine btw (for here). PAMan may find it offensive, though.

2-12 vs Q1.  Doesn’t get much worse than that

As LKDog pointed out. Multiple years of not getting to at least the round of 32 gets him on the hot seat. One disappointing year shouldn’t.

I think this is one of your better arguments. It’s not good. At all.

NIT Squeaky talking about success is absolutely hilarious. A loser living in a shithole driving a cab making $15,000 a year who can't get a job because of a pedophile criminal conviction.

Will lmao when Squeaky's vehicle no longer runs and he needs to invest in a different vehicle so he can keep ubering.

He'll likely need to cancel his Mint Mobile account to handle car payments.  Am assuming Squeaky Sr will need to cosign on the car loan.

Underwood has been coach for 6 years with no Sweet 16's.  Could care less that the program sucked when he took over for Groce.  6 years is plenty of time to turn things around. 

The 2023-24 needs TSJ and Hawkins back, along with an impact pg transfer, for any chance at a Sweet 16 run.

TrentReynolds you won’t be here anyway.  But I’m sure Nichi will report back what you are saying on Scout.

Nichi has not read anything at 247 in a long time. He can barely wade through loyalty..

You may find this shocking, but Lkdog hates Dom. Not that anyone "likes" him.
