Everything Whitman is saying is pretty much exactly what every sane person on IL has been saying for the past five months. It is so refreshing to listen to a sane person speak.
There are sane people on IL?

Early in process and situation fluid but 2 NFL sources in past hour texted to say they've heard Lovie Smith will be candidate at Illinois.

Uggghhhh. Until they pulled away from the presser altogether.
Was so hoping for something embarrassing from the anchor not knowing he was on camera...
Completely disagree. It is 100% certain that Cubit would have been fired in November. Why suffer through all the speculation and criticism for another season, which would be worse for the players. The right decision is to stop the charade, swallow the bitter pill now, and begin the rebuild. Whitman may have bungled the announcement, but I think he's made 2 very good decisions today.
The whole Cubit thing was ridiculous so he's just ending it now.
word is Cubit was implicated in the injury scandal and they just found out later. Once they found out, they didn't want to complete blow the ship and lose out on the recruits they had secured. This has been brewing long before Whitman arrived. His presence just makes it easier to make the move now.
I don't know. I have an "idea". Just know this was not spur of the moment. Has been in the works.
Bill Cubit: 'There's a lot of lies'

Sorry Cubit, but you handed over your dignity and your right to be indignant when you accepted that ridiculous 2-year deal from a toothless interim AD with the understanding all around that you were a stop-gap solution and it was a cash grab for you if it didn't work out. And you did no further favors for yourself when you spent all your assistants money on your unqualified son instead of something that would have given you a better chance to win. As for the rest of the staff, they also knew what they were getting into. It was a gamble on all their parts that didn't pay out. I see no reason for anyone to feel bad for any of them.
