#illini offer Vic def coordinator after 1st offer for co-coordinator. Most assts were let go. Another consideration for Koenning.

Koenning likes it here and appreciates love from #illini but has other offers. Part of his success were because of his assts, he said.

Koenning mentioned Auburn and Troy as open jobs that have his attention. #illini
