problem is there isn't a division 1 coach that would hire Miles other than his dad....

I think its probably a good chance he is not qualified. I was just asking as an outsider. Does anyone have any real experience with him in a coaching role?Or a qualified D1 coach. Donors will be livid when he is announced.
Other than this past season? No. He spent 2 years as a defensive quality control coach with his dad in Tampa.I think its probably a good chance he is not qualified. I was just asking as an outsider. Does anyone have any real experience with him in a coaching role?

I'm with you, didn't we just hire someone from SCal who had a similar title? Miles has been here a few years, can't we give him some credit, if this is his craft for striving to succeed, do you think Lovie would let him just play around?I think its probably a good chance he is not qualified.

Do people realize how inexperienced almost all Lovie’s new hires are? Patterson, Clark, and Miles all had never been an assistant coach at the college level before Lovie hired them. Hudson has 2 years as a CB coach at a lower level. These are all high risk, high reward choices that Lovie seems to be hoping are homerun recruiters. And they better be because they sure haven’t proven anything in terms of player development or game planning.

Patterson had very deep relationships with some of the top recruits in the classes of 2019 and 2020, and their families. And it has paid off already in recruiting. I don't think Hudson has that. Many on here roundly criticized the Clark hire. The unit he coached took a step back this year. Without his recruiting successes, he would be judged as quite a bust, no? This year's staff has no room for error; if there is not significant improvement on the defensive side of the ball, and I think at least 5 or 6 wins, they're all getting fired (which right there might explain why Lovie seemingly is having to settle for bottom-of-the-list hires).Do people realize how inexperienced almost all Lovie’s new hires are?

I'm sorry to be a contrarian, but this Hudson hire looks like picking low hanging fruit. Where are you guys getting that he is a top notch/great recruiter? Is it because his bio states: "He was an important cog in USC’s recruiting machine both identifying talent and dealing with prospects on campus?" Are those the tasks one would normally single out to identify someone as a great recruiter? Anyone able to factually state his duties while "dealing with prospects on campus?" Who has he brought to FAU that he should garner such accolades? Help me out. I'm not seeing it.
And to those hoping for a great DC hire, please keep in mind that Lovie has stated that his defense is proven and he will be looking for someone with a similar viewpoint. His first DC did not have any prior experience actually coordinating a defense.
Ryan Cubit is available and he has D1 experience.Do people realize how inexperienced almost all Lovie’s new hires are?

Take a deep breath, too much ventilation this early isn't good, let's wait to see who else we get, and what the spring looks like.Patterson had very deep relationships with some of the top recruits in the classes of 2019 and 2020, and their families.

My gut feeling is the other defensive assistant goes to someone outside the Illinois program, just because that would be the best staff lovie can assemble, and that is the the goal. Miles stays as analyst/control or whatever and coaches lb/nb position.Take a deep breath, too much ventilation this early isn't good, let's wait to see who else we get, and what the spring looks like.
I'll wait until everything is formalized but if Lovie hires his kid to become a full-time assistant, it will erode some of the optimism and goodwill for Illinois football moving forward.
With each new hire, I’m really questioning how much money he actually has for his staff. Every hire, outside of Rod Smith (and even he isn’t a super high salary coordinator), has been a very inexperienced coach that required a relatively low salary.He has a ton of money to go out and pay a really great coach, but decides to hire his kid?
