Why the hell did they hire him in the first place. And can they make a commitment to not add any more dead weight to the staff?Trust me when i say that we didn't lose much here.
Sorry I'm grumpy right now

They hired him to be the next corey patterson. He's not cut out for this level.Why the hell did they hire him in the first place. And can they make a commitment to not add any more dead weight to the staff?

Not privy to this information. If i had to guess it would be a in-state HS coach. Same thing price was.Got any ideas on who Lovie might be looking at to fill the job now? Cincy and FAU have had good classes, maybe we could steal their guys.
Maybe the Rochester HS coach is available?! Would love to start a pipeline out of that high school All American factory!!Not privy to this information. If i had to guess it would be a in-state HS coach. Same thing price was.
No way Leonard would leave for price's position. Would have to be something more of the coaching side.Maybe the Rochester HS coach is available?! Would love to start a pipeline out of that high school All American factory!!

Well then i don't know about him but i for sure would take the school with the most D1 football players in the last 10 years from central Illinois. Or the 4 time coach of the year in the state. But hey that's just me.The poster you quoted is being a smart aleck btw.
MJ Rivers looked like he was more than capable at commanding a Big offense. Brandon Peters exceeded my expectations and negativity last yr. We’ve got Coran Taylor and IW sitting in the wings. QB room should be one of the last worrries on your mind.Just another "bust" hire by Lovie. E Pluribus Unum..
I understand that outstanding Illini and Bears OL coach Harry Hiestand is still available. He'd be a real difference maker on this staff, making a tremendous leap in recruiting and pass blocking player development.
I suspect that Lovie hasn't even called him. He's rarely concerned with upgrading staff, and just about every change he's made has been a downgrade...except for Rod Smith who took us from horrid OC to mediocre. He still hasn't shown us he can recruit top QB talent that he needs for depth and to make his offense go, or brought in a "feature back" to build the offense around.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with transfers, but so far he hasn't shown us much there. I understand that Clark and Hudson were the main recruiters for BheBhe and Sidney.

I think I've read on this board that he has the athletecism to play other positions. If he could crack the depth chart at another position I'd rather he stayed and played. But yeah, if his goal is to climb QB mountain, it probably isn't happening here unless he has a massive breakthrough.Coran Taylor seems like a prime transfer candidate
I’ve read that he loves Illinois and doesn’t want to transfer. That being said, if he had an opportunity to start somewhere else I would think he’d want to consider that. Immediate eligibility will make that decision easier for quite a few if it passes.I think I've read on this board that he has the athletecism to play other positions.

Hope he does whatever is best for him. I was kind of disappointed he only got like 2 reps last year. Looked good from the extremely small sample sizeI’ve read that he loves Illinois and doesn’t want to transfer.

Another stellar take from you.Just another "bust" hire by Lovie. E Pluribus Unum..

Grad transfer OLB/DE from Bama eh? Thoughts from those in the know?
Edit: Looks like he was at Wisky these past few years.
One year left to play.
That's what I'm thinking, give a fresh push during long drives, perhaps? But if he wasn't healthy until late last season, he might be able to surprise and be a solid contributor.Bell seems like a depth guy?
