What exactly is hard for you to understand about that? When Bert was in the Big Ten from 2006-2012 it was awful. In his last three years in the conference combined they had exactly two teams finish in the top 10, Ohio State in 2012 and Wisconsin in 2010. And his "strong" 11-2 squad in 2010 played no teams that finished in the top 25 during the regular season. The big ten never had more than 4 teams finish in the top 25 in a single season in his entire tenure there. In case you wanted a comparison to the SEC, from 2010-2012 we had 11 teams finish in the top 5 and averaged 6 teams per year in the top 25.
And on top of the fact that 2006-2012 was pretty much as bad as the Big Ten has ever been, he only won the conference outright once in 6 years. He went 2-4 in bowls and had less than 10 wins in around half of his seasons there even though he played no one.
If you think Bert did an average or bad job at Wisconsin then you are too ignorant to have a discussion with, no one is saying that the Big 10 was world beaters.
You also seem to have no knowledge of what Bert walked into at Arkansas. He still on the hot seat in my eyes but Arkansas is trending up and has done a great job with what he had to work with.

Do you have absolutely any evidence that he was "good" or anything better than mediocre at Wisconsin? The guy has finished inside of the top 10 once in his career. That's pretty mediocre IMO. I get that I'm an LSU fan and you're an Arky fan so we both have different definitions of "good" but four 10+ win seasons sprinkled around 7 and 8 win seasons in a bad big ten and going 2-4 in bowls isn't what I'd call good
