Why on earth would Phair be on the chopping block?

Oh!! I have no idea IF Phair would go or why - chopping block/mutual parting, or otherwise. That was equal parts mere speculation; throwing something against a wall to see what sticks; and anal ventriloquism. Call it what you want.

A good point was made about McGee not on the road recruiting, but who else would you guess might leave, or be pushed out?

To me it just seems strange to be committed to the long term rebuild and fire your oc two years in. Position coaches, I get it. Coordinators? Confusing to me.

McGee has been basically a ghost since the season ended. Everyone else, even Williams and Ligs, have been all across the country recruiting and then some. McGee isn't doing much of anything. That's mostly what I'm basing my prediction he will be out.

The thing about McGee though is that would free up a ton of money to spread elsewhere.

I wouldn't do it and I would be mildly surprised if it happened, but I can understand the logic. Only, of course, if his replacement wants to institute the same sort of scheme we've been recruiting and teaching to.

Agree with last part. I realize we have not had the talent McGee needs, but still a little disappointed we weren't better. Not great, just not so abysmal.

We cannot restart a new system. QB we have on campus in Thomas, qbs coming in all are for McGee's statement.

I don't know. I just know that I never had a real good feeling about McGee. Something about him just never sat well with me eveyrtime I heard him talking.

I'm just personally not a fan of the Petrino style of offense. I know we had some success with Paul running the offense back in the Scheelhaase days but I just don't like it philosophically it is far too multiple for me and seems like it just relies on good players being good.

When I watch Louisville, it just seems insane, like they just want Lamar Jackson to run around and make insane plays.

I just think if you're rebuilding you should aim for consistency and identity. I know there wasn't a whole lot to work with but it seemed so bad on offense.

I would love for Illinois to mimic the Stanford Offense with a mobile QB.

I enjoyed Locksley’s offense the most. We led the B1G in rushing and Juice ran the read option to perfection.

Have it on good word that McGee is gone before 1/1/18. Possibly Paul Williams as well. Something to do with player mistreatment. Some of those players have already transferred out.

All I can give for now.
