In Beckman, Illinois AD tapping MAC as he did successfully at Cincinnati
If Illinois announces the buzz-less hiring of no-name Beckman as early as Friday, it won't force the university's ticket office to add staff. It won't excite big-money Illinois donors enough to reach for their checkbooks or Chief Illiniwek to want to come out of exile.
It might cause some alums to ask, "Holy Toledo, whose coach did we hire?"
