Lot's of speculation Lovie has his OL coach as well. Just waiting to announce it.
the new coach is already in Champaign. and has been on staff.

As in, he was on the staff previously to becoming the OL coach, or that he was hired and is already on the staff even though the hire hasn't been announced yet?
doubtfulReallllllllly hope it's Garin Justice
Pure speculation.the new coach is already in Champaign. and has been on staff.
Pure speculation.
That had more to do with youth and injuries than anything.I hope we’re not promoting another GA. We saw the steep drop off of D-line performance when we went from a veteran D-line coach who knows Lovie’s system to a brand new up and comer.
It took awhile for the D line to come around last year and I don’t think Lovie has any margin for error this season for a new guy to take his lumps.
McClain.
In Rod we trustYes, it is McClain. There were bigger names available, but this is Rod's guy
I think it’s all about the hair style. . Well we’ll find out how this works out. Not a proven quantity but who knows until next fall.
We have our strength coach?
Appears so!We have our strength coach?
That had more to do with youth and injuries than anything.
We also lost Lere for half the season.Not really. Our DL was younger in 2017 than in 2018. And outside of Milan, who was hurt in both seasons, we were healthy at DL in 2018.
