College Football Fans React To Bret Bielema's Announcement Tuesday

5 College Football Coaches Who Could Eventually Leave For The NFL (1:51)

We’re several months away from the start of the 2025 college football season, but Illinois fans received exciting news Tuesday involving head coach Bret Bielema. 

Bielema became the head coach of the Fighting Illini in 2021. Although he did own an 8-5 record in his second season, it wasn’t until the 2024 season that he re-established himself as a top-tier coach. 

Illinois went 10-3 during the 2024 season, with two of its three losses coming against College Football Playoff contenders in Oregon and Minnesota. Bielema’s team finished the year with a 21-17 victory over South Carolina in the Citrus Bowl. It was one heck of a statement from his program. 

With that said, Bielema has earned himself a nice payday. 

Illinois has officially signed Bielema to a six-year extension. His contract will now run through the 2030 season. 

“Thank you to Josh Whitman, our administration, and the Board of Trustees for their continued commitment and support for our football program,” Bielema said in a press release Tuesday. “Over the last four seasons, our program has been built on tough, smart, dependable people in every facet: from our players, to our coaches and staff, to our administration. I am fortunate to work every day with an athletic director that fully believes in our football program and a coaching staff that fully believes in our players. A special thank you to those players — I could not be more excited about where our program is going because of you.

“Also, thank you to all of our alumni and fans that have played a huge part in getting us to where we are today. The support of the Champaign-Urbana community, the state of Illinois, and all of the Illini famILLy has been outstanding for my wife, Jen, and our two girls, Briella and Brexli. I can’t wait to see you all in Memorial Stadium this fall. The best is yet to come.”

For the most part, Illinois fans are thrilled about Bielema’s new contract.

“GOD IS GOOD,” an Illinois fan said in response to this news. 

“Step one to a statue,” a second fan said. 

“Let’s go win championships,” a social media user commented.

“Bret Bielema has figured out, or perhaps knew all along, that the Illinois job has some real advantages for someone who wants to put down roots. Good resources, expectations are quite low, and folks have *occasionally* won there,” another person wrote. 

Bielema has a 28-22 record at Illinois. The athletic department is hoping he’ll have a few more double-digit win seasons between now and 2030. 

Illinois will begin its 2025 season on Aug. 30 against Western Illinois.
