I'd be very nervous about a career Big 10 coach who routinely got blasted by decent teams

This is a damn myth. He owned all the teams he should have and was competitive with the top half of the league. People throw out the 16-18 stat a lot but forget that that means tOSU, Mich, and Penn State(all traditionally stronger teams). This is like saying Spurrier is a shitty coach because at USC he has a losing record against UT, UGA, and UF. Of course he does! Doesn't mean what he did there isn't impressive. Bielema coached UW to 10 wins 4 times out of the 6 years he was there! Pretty good for Wisky IYAM.
