Tom Dienhart on Illinois football

Thinks the most important hire was Koenning to improve the defense. Has a great resume at a number of places. Looks for a big improvement in a unit that really needs help.

Petrino, good bloodlines but needs to prove himself as an OC. Good news is that he has a lot of weapons on offense.

Scheelhaase: great athlete and leader, the question is whether he can throw the ball. Petrino will probably take the pressure off Nathan by focusing on the running game.
