He should've shredded the 27 previous HCs....

I didn't see it.
Bret Beliema's abject criticism of his own players deserves its own thread, anyway. Maybe they are awful players, but as a coach, who does this? We have had people on here decrying fans who boo. I will do that occasionally, when it is deserved. But what coach does this? Bret Beliema. I thought he was Iowa's next coach because in the 1990s he was a great recruiter. And dominated at Wisconsin.
But, what player would want to play for him when he talks about his current players like this: "I don't believe we have a player in the 2-deep (O-Line) ... they've recruited here over the last 3-years that is really significantly doing anything for us in the playing department . . ." What if they quit this week and Bret's recruits took over. How would that go over, for Bret? His statement is f-ing dumb. Illinois ought to terminate him tomorrow.

If you get hired into a program like Ill, this complaint should be kept to oneself, and be evident beforehand obviously.

The next coach at say Vandy would face the same issue.

He never had a filter, and still doesn't. If I was the AD, I'd fire him immediately, for cause.

Yeah, I remember when Joe Colletto at Purdue got fired after his 3-8 season in 1996 and Purdue brought in Joe Tiller. Colletto famously claimed he couldn't win with "those players". 

Colletto became the OC at Notre Dame, Tiller became the HC at Purdue, and with "those players" beat ND in his first year en route to a 9-3 season with a bowl win. 

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.
