The carousel seems to be winding down as portal season nears.
Don’t be shocked if there’s some transition on our staff …
Soooo, what are the “insiders” hearing post-Bowl game about the 2026 Illini staff? Happy New Year, everyone.

I’d be shocked if there wasn’t… at least on some level.

Same, it would be unprecedented if everyone stuck around for a third year.
I'm assuming this is the fans perspective on the coordinators/position coaches
Keep:
Lunney
Jamison
Parker
Stepp
Sitkowski
Indifferent:
Ward
Discher
McDaniel
Harris
Panos
Hot Seat:
Henry
Miller
Bret is about the biggest Art fan out there … Would take an awful lot for Art to leave …
Thad Ward to KSU…

Well, you can scratch Ward off that list now.
It would certainly be Tic-Tac-Dough if that happened.
(And yes I know who you're actually referencing, just couldn't help myself)
I'm just pointing out that Macomb is fertile ground...
Soil pun... couldn't help myself
Cory Patterson was just hired as their RB coach. Littyville moving to Manhattan, Kansas??

wonder what the deal is here?
On the radio postgame show it was said that Lunney and Art would be a package deal if Lunney left.
