    Ha, it's already leaking. Also, I have no information about the timing of the announcement, just that he's being hired on Monday. Maybe they wait until Tuesday morning to officially announce? At this rate, it'll be leaking all over the place by Monday, though.

    The Illinois Coaching Search

    This will be my last post in this thread because I have other things to do, so let me just say this: you guys are panicking for no reason and massively underestimating JW's competence.
