He might get a NFL HC job this offseason. Word is he wants to stay in NFL Coaching. Doesn't love the recruiting & dealing with alumni/donor aspect to the College game.
I'm probably delusional but still holding out hope for Fickell. Hoping we just catch him at the right time where he has pretty much done all he can do at Cincy and he is ready to make a move and wants to coach in the B1G.
I just hope there isn't an announcement until Sunday or next week because it probably means we are getting a guy who is coaching in a championship game this weekend. First choice would be Fickell but if it is Leipold I'd be happy with that too.
Can't wait to hear about this the next 2 days (or more):

Yep, I think Underwood is up for it but there is going to be some big time battles on the court/recruiting in this conference in the upcoming years. Plus having to deal with Martin in the St. Louis area.
Here is Chicago sports radio talking about the Illinois job today: 1st part starts at around the 26:45 minute mark and then the Jeff Goodman interview starts at around the 49 minute mark.
