I saw a few posts asking why it needed to be an alumni, and that they were underwhelmed by the hire. Did Underwood come in and immediately hire a bunch of “IllinoisGuys”? Nope. Did he hire a great staff, Yes! The fact that Chester bleeds orange and blue is awesome, but NOT the reason he was hired. If he wasn’t highly thought of, he wouldn’t be here. I am loving this hire! ILL!!
