You don't think Andrej didn't get promised a starting role in the post season negotiations? If he didn't, he probably wouldn't have stayed. He could have also got more money by leaving.

NIL is like a Ponzi scheme, you need to keep bringing in new money to keep the overall amount at a consistent level. Unless you have donors at a Walton family level, some NIL donors are going to leave or reduce their donation because they have a need or feel that money will bring a better return...

If they are realistic, they have to know that Underwood wouldn't be as successful there simply because of lower NIL. Since Pickens died, big money isn't flowing in.

I thought one of Sam Walton's son in law's was a big donor to Mizzou.

Dave Regone is CO-OC and QB coach. I thought Nate would be the QB coach.

Lou Tepper's first staff was excellent.

AS well as QB experience.

Walters was a good DC at Illinois. Missouri, not so much. Drink wanted to bring in a co DC. Walters pushed back. Drink was considering firing him, but Bielima hired him, so Drink didn't have to pull the trigger.

Prior to Bielema, assistant football coaches at Illinois had territories, so recruits were rarely being recruited by their position coach.

If you only follow the U of I, or P4 football, then you wouldn't know anything about Hauck. However, following FCS football, then you know that Hauck is a winner. His time at Nevada didn't produce many wins, but he definitely was a winner at the FCS level.

The stories about Bielema's off field activities when he was an assistant coach at Wisconsin were pretty bad, but since his head coach was doing the same things, no one said anything.

Jay Norvell back at Iowa.

Former Illini asst. Ed Warriner gets first HC position at Avila College in Missouri

Chandler Whitmer is having a better career as a coach than as a QB.

Morgan Turner (Illini grad) has been retained at Arkansas as TE coach. He's Ron's son and appears to be a good coach from what I've read.
