Q&A: Illinois coach Tim Beckman
December 21, 2011 11:00 AM
How is the first week or so on the job going?
Tim Beckman: Good. I just got done with five hours of meetings with the juniors. They got done with practice, and I met with each junior for 15 minutes. Just trying to build relationships and bonds and get them to know who I am and get me to know who they are. It's been nonstop, hair's on fire and all that good stuff.
How much have you been watching bowl practices?
TB: Well, last week, of course, I was out on the road, trying to do as much as I could. Then we had a couple of official visits in for the last two weekends. But I went out Saturday to watch them practice and again Monday. I've got five hours of meetings with the sophomore and juniors coming up.
