Tim Beckman says his goodbyes to Toledo
December 11, 2011 4:08 PM
Beckman starts by thanking UT president Lloyd Jacobs, AD Mike O'Brien and SID Paul Helgren. Also thanks Toledo community
Btw to dismiss any rumors, seems pretty clear Beckman isn't coming back to UT
Beckman says he didn't discuss reports about his departure with his players and coaches Thursday b/c he wasn't allowed to talk about it
Beckman says he will try to get "one or two" UT assistants to join his staff at Illinois this week. Also says he has offered Campbell OC job
Beckman says he has not contacted any UT verbals and won't unless they are "wavering." Did say one is wavering right now
Beckman stopped by #ToledoRockets team banquet to give a short speech and then left
#ToledoRockets players said it was "awkward" with Beckman at the banquet and it was "like seeing a ghost" when he walked in
