Forget big-name coach, Illini need good one

Everybody deserves a second chance, but an athletic director making his first major hire like Thomas doesn't have to be the one offering it. One major-college AD told me he wondered how any school could hire Leach given his abrasive style regardless of any schematic advantage he provides. Another facetiously wished Thomas luck controlling Leach if he did.
