A history lesson for Ron Zook and Dan Disch
October 25, 2009 8:08 PM
But both Zook and defensive co-coordinator Dan Disch have made comments indicating their true feelings as to the difficulty of it.
During a commercial break in his Thursday radio show, Zook made reference to the UI's erratic historic record and vented about "fighting something we can't see." After the game Saturday, Disch noted: "Look at the history of the place. It doesn't happen overnight, or often."

Zook and Disch are full of it, deflecting from their abysmal coaching failure.
From 1981 - 1995 (15 campaigns), Illinois had only 3 losing seasons. That's a pretty nice stretch. Mike White, John Mackovic, Lou Tepper.

15 season, 12 winning or .500 seasons, winning % of 0.572. That is a nice, consistent stretch of winning which spans 3 coaching regimes. That's an average of 6.5 wins per year, at a time when you only have 11-game schedules.
It can happen.
