Bert was stupid to say this--even if it's true... Maybe say this to the AD to justify why you still deserve to keep your job, but to the media? Dumb, dumb, dumb.
This exactly.  What he said is undoubtedly true and would be completely appropriate in a private meeting with the AD, something like "Look, O-Linemen take time to develop and the ones recruited by the prior regime simply aren't up to B1G standards so it is going to take time to get to where we can compete consistently but we are doing what we can in the mean time and the Nebraska win shows what we can and will do here at Illinois."  
He should've shredded the 27 previous HCs....
I also agree with this.  Given Illinois' location and resources they should probably be one of the better programs in the league.  Seriously, if you knew nothing about the history of CFB and only knew population/demographic information you would likely guess that the top programs in the B1G were:
  • Penn State
  • Ohio State
  • Illinois
