There was initial talk of GA getting an opportunity somewhere else. I dont know if that is still the case.Sure, I get all that. But to date you all have said we will likely see a staff shake up while also saying BU and OA talk regularly but that nothing was really in the works... yet. So I guess I don't know that, based on what you've said so far, this actually indicates a domino falling our way rather than coincidence.
Would we let a staff member go to hire someone like OA again or are we more looking at a situation where a staff member is hired elsewhere and we are therefore going to have to wait for the carousel to spin a few more times before there's movement for us?
Right. I assumed that domino had to fall first before we could read too much into other tea leaves. But maybe not?There was initial talk of GA getting an opportunity somewhere else. I dont know if that is still the case.
I thought the rumor was that GA was getting demoted to non-recruiting coach, but staying with Underwood?There was initial talk of GA getting an opportunity somewhere else. I dont know if that is still the case.
I predicted you could answer three times and then still get asked againCal took Chin to do big boy stuff … Stuff that is usually O’s job … Why would he take Chin to do that … Sure is interesting …
There was a HS event at G Town last night … No tampering lol …
disagree on Chester being ready to captain the ship. BWeber made a run to elite 8 and won a Big12 championship in large part to Chester. As soon as Coach Frazier went VaTech, Bruce was done. He has been a top assistant for what 10+ years? At some point he should be the chosen Coach.To me, Powell is the most likely former Illini to end up our coach in the future. I like Chester but that talk is premature.
But he's never captained the ship, and that would worry me. By and large, the top programs don't usually hire guys who haven't yet proved it as a head coach somewhere. One counterexample is Tommy Lloyd at Arizona. I was surprised they hired him without that experience but it seems to have worked out so far.disagree on Chester being ready to captain the ship.

Congratulations to Coach Powell, long over due and good luck!

I’d love to try and get one of the non-recruiting Asst coaches to be Marty Simmons. Great offensive mind.
