[QUOTE="BretMyBeachHouse, post: 1567528, member: 747827"] It seems like there are two guaranteed formulas for hiring a college football coach and Whitman didn't opt for either. One is hire Nick Saban. Two is hire Urban Meyer. Neither of those happened so I'll adopt my wait and see cautiously optimistic approach to all things Illini. What I like hearing is that perhaps we'll have some fundamentals taught and executed? It remains to be seen and staff is a big part of that, but it's been missing from Lovie. Love the early touch to the High School guy. I'm sure I was like others and thinking Lovie would have more recruiting success because every single coach in the state (perhaps the country?) was going to pick up the phone when he called. It doesn't seem like he ever was willing to use that and our recruiting really didn't take off. [/QUOTE]
