Ron Zook won't need to advertise on Craigslist. The Illinois coach has been flooded with calls and applications from coaches who want to become the Illini's offensive coordinator now that Mike Locksley has left for the head position at New Mexico.

Illinois' loaded cupboard features star receiver Arrelious Benn and senior-to-be Juice Williams, who led the Big Ten with 264.4 passing yards per game--and 16 interceptions.
Former Bowling Green coach Gregg Brandon is among the many who will be considered. Illinois' top in-house candidates are believed to be receivers coaches Kurt Beathard and Jim Pry.
