Fran is a good coach with a real flaw. If he goes to Michigan, I think he can have Michigan often in the top 5-6 in B1G though. I am OK with that.

No chance Brad leaves Illinois for Michigan. C'mon now.
Brad to Michigan? Not gonna happen.
Or do they talk to me ...
My probably mistaken impression is that Beilien is too old for dealing with that sh$!
Yeah there’s a big paycheck in it, but you’ve only got so many years on this rock and spending your 70s yelling at college kids probably gets old fast.

Well that would be one more reason to dislike Michigan.Just got off the phone with an agent ... He's hearing the Iowa job may be open as well ...
But it may not be for the reason you think ...
wow. When you put it like that; Hell yeah!The fact that Michigan’s best candidate is
seeking to flee…as part of an exit strategy from semi shaky ground at Iowa delights me.
I’m sure they’ll be back… but the demise of Michigan sure has been delicious. I’m enjoying it while I can.
So, after our program just poached their top tier strength/conditioning coach to add to our top tier existing coach Brad is gonna turn around and go to Michigan. Ya, that's gonna happen. /s
This is the kind of energy I like to see on here ...
Now it makes sense for scUM to target Brad… Their a$$es are really hurting!
He's been a name mentioned for multiple jobs. I know him and DeVries' name got thrown around for the WVU job.
Is Brad the guy they’re going to make a run at with $8m to $9m? And he’d rather stay here but we need to be in the vicinity money wise?
What’s Brad’s buyout?

Franny is a people person and won them over with his pleasant personality and calm demeanor
Yes ... Brad is on the "special list" of 3 that the donors would donate a ton for ...
Do I think he leaves ? No ...
Brad is gonna go win this dang ball game tomorrow ... Hang an f'ing banner in the rafters ... And Josh is gonna get him another extension that allows Brad to retire here and never worry about NIL the rest of his years as Head Coach of the Fighting Illni ...
As for the other two names ... One rhymes with Notes ... And the other is probably the beer that @illini0440 is drinking as we speak ...
Hahahah not tonight!
Let's do it!
So Nate Oats will leverage that new extension into an even better deal at ScUM? Blech. And Sean Miller is ours! Never mind Brad may never leave here. Sean will always be ours.

Nothing wrong with being 72 indy ...
There really really isn't...
What's the drink of choice then? I'm enjoying a Triptych Brewing Forces Way Beyond Our Control. Amazing beer.
