Werner tweeted it before the football account and I'm not sure if someone had reported it prior to him.
Werner was tweeting from the press release in his inbox. He tweeted it roughly 30 seconds before the school's official Twitter account did.

Not telling them first is really, really bad.
#illini AD Josh Whitman has arrived at Memorial Stadium to address players and coaches.
Heard most #illini staffers had to clear out their offices today.

I'm not asking you to say who it is unless you want to...
But in general do you think we will like it?
Everyone focuses on Whitman's Illini pedigree, but they tend to overlook that he bounced around the NFL for four years. I think that opens your eyes to the mickey-mouse nature of a lot of college coaching and probably turns you off from much of the rah-rah garbage.

Speaking of surreal moments...
Butkus Award Winner Dana Howard handing me the phone to say hello to...Dick Butkus.
People are underestimating Whitman's Turner connection. Norv is our next head coach. :frustrated: (sarcasm)
We will find out soon but this tells me Josh Whitman is either crazy or balls out brilliant. This is so anti the way the Illini have done business for my lifetime. I'm guessing Cubit or son leaked it which messed up the timing. If he has someone up his sleeve its sort of like when the Cubs dumped Renteria for Maddon. If you have a chance to advance the program you take it when it presents itself.
I'm a little disappointed in this board's hustle. Not one person has analyzed every flight going in and out of Willard for the past 96 hours. I'm ashamed.
In Russia they've already found out who the new coach is!
Heard Frazier didn't like recruiting when he was here under Turner.
I got you, couple flights from Midway with FlightStar, the company the University tends to charter with. But that could be totally the fact that people fly from midway a lot. One of the flights was at 0830 this morning, though.
HA! This made me literally laugh out loud. And then cry a little bit...Turner didn't like recruiting when he was here under Turner.

Not saying it will be Lovie, but our current DC was on staff with him in Tampa I believe
