For goodness sake I can live him with him not coming to Illinois, but please not another B10 school.

I want Izzo to leave.

Awesome.

I'm sure Phair being run game coordinator is in name only. Justification to pay him the same as before since he technically took a demotion.

I could see a big program hiring Beckman as an assistant or something involved in the program. I'm sure with a coach like Meyer he could help recruiting or something along those lines.

Kind of nuts how much Groce has lost the fan base. What a free fall.

I wonder if Pitt would make a run at Fran M. from Iowa. He is an east coast guy.

That's his alma mater. If that happens then I guess Arizona ponies up and lands Marshall.

How would you guys rate the staff he put together? I would give it a B +. Pretty darn good all things considered. My biggest question mark is the Butkus hire. Definitely need to see how that turns out. If we would have got Spencer as RB coach that would have been awesome. Also, I like that they...

I believe the 4 million also is applied to non coaching assistants. On the Tay and Jay show, Jeremy reported that Lovie plans to expand the recruiting staff so some of the money will go to that.

If the worse hire we complain about is Butkus, I think we did alright. :D

As far as Xs and Os, Sherman was probably more appealing. BUT how the staff is looking now, McGee makes more sense. He adds a college guy to the staff. I know Sherman coached college but he's 61. McGee makes more sense as a recruiter and he will help Lovie transition to modern day college football.

What about Bellamy as a RB coach or something?

If Butkus was that much of an idiot would Lovie really hire him? Not talking about Xs and Os, talking personality here. Seems like opposite attitude of Lovie if he really is that hard to work with.

Mike Sherman as OC would def ease some concerns about Butkus since that is his expertise.
