He was here last year when Ben got sick. We hired a new special teams coach for this season

He was a stop gap for Ben Miller.

While we're on the subject, how does Michaux look? Always thought he was a wild card.
looks OK. Probably running 4th right now

What's the latest on Ben Miller? Encouraging to see him in a full time staff role, is the idea to put him somewhere where he doesn't have to be on the road recruiting?
He is doing well. Yes he is essentially Brets right hand man right now. a good sounding board for Bret to bounce ideas off of and vice versa. I belive he can talk to recruits and does help with visits on campus as well.
#10 was giving me those vibes too

The question is how the Leary/Swanson battle looks
Not really a battle Leary is clearly the 3rd string(which was expected). Altmyer, Paddock, Leary is the order right now.

Oh yeah I forgot about Paddock.
More depth in that room than we've had in awhile. Especially in terms of them all fitting the profile of the offense.

Would be a great year if some of the other QBs on the depth chart got some PT for reasons other than injury (victory margin comes to mind....)
I have confidence in defense.
Offensive line is more important than RB for the running game.
QB is the real wild card. We got very luck with DeVito last year. Hopefully Altmeyer can be at least league average and no injuries.
Fortunately Bret's 4 yards and cloud of dust lends itself to protecting young quarterbacks.

I Like your thought process. Whomever wins the job, can get us to West title. then Big10 title game should be Qb1! All bets are off Now That they are getting PAID!!!!!! I wanna win and win big. No promises best player up. Please!
Great videos!I will say this, a couple years ago when coach B took over. I made the comment that our boys don't look like a Big10 men. Our roster didnt look like the other big 10 teams. We now look like a big 10 team in a huge way. We are coached like a big 10 team at a high level. A NFL team with efficiency and a purpose. I think the staff and these players make everyday count! Whether in the film room, weight room, and on the field. That is a huge difference with what's happening at our beloved University of Illinois. Keep up the great work players and coaches. you have my support along with Illini nation. #2023Big10Champs.
