[QUOTE="Subortus, post: 1403265, member: 652086"] I agree that the 2016 Illini squad should have been a bit more successful, and Jeff Brohm's squad accomplished much more during his first season, but Brohm inherited two good quarterbacks -- and he needed both of them to win the amount of games that Purdue won last year. Lovie had only the oft-injured Wes Lunt who (in my opinion) was not used properly by Garrick McGee. Moreover, the quarterback cupboard was bare beyond Lunt -- as we all saw this past season. I don't know why Garrick McGee was fired, but the fact that he failed to promptly recruit (from high school or via transfer) at least a couple of game-ready quarterbacks was -- by itself -- a sufficient basis for his dismissal. We wouldn't have so much uncertainty regarding the upcoming season if we knew that we had at least a decent starter and a decent backup. [/QUOTE]
