Really doubt Josh would be willing to poach in conference … But he’d be on my list if I was Josh but wouldn’t be top 5 ….

Forget about Brad, is he taking 0440 with him?
I was trying to be facetious.
Did not see the chart.
That said, I have noticed a trend of losing early games over the years.

Amen! We're like a guy who's so terrified because another guy said our fiancé was hot that we have now downloaded a dating app and are preparing ourselves to be single. Confidence is SERIOUSLY lacking for as good of a spot as this program is in overall!
No we're like a message board that just talks about random stuff. Some tangible, some theoretical, some just off the damn wall.
It's kinda the point of a message board.

Well, it's all a fine line I suppose. I guess I shouldn't be putting words in anyone's mouth, that's fair ... but I think the conversation is disturbingly closer to "Who are we going to target in the somewhat likely event Brad leaves for Texas?" compared to "Who would you want to target in the unlikely event Brad ever left his stated dream job of Illinois?"
As you said, though, it's a message board. Carry on.
I just choose to believe that when Brad said this was his dream job, he didn't include Texas Basketball in the "unless of course" category. 
No one should be terrified. I think Brad will be back. But schools are interested in him and he will listen to some.
This is tangible. Del Conte has reached out to Brad

As he should. And he should rightfully expect that the University of Illinois Athletic Department will adequately show him just how much we value him and just how aware we are of what a "catch" we have as head coach!

Daddy Brad is here to stay.

I hope you are correct. I don't want another coach. BU has earned my respect as did Self. Long live Daddy Brad!
I've reached out to Brad too but he won't return my call. I don't know why he doesn't want to have a couple of beers with a random stranger at the local gentlemen's club.

Yes. We all know Tyler is going to go with Brad wherever he goes.
Chris Beard is gonna get another job very quickly, isn't he...

I'm not pointing this at you, but I personally don't like speculation, especially in these days where random tweets and message board material get used by people who call themselves journalists. Once there's a story out there that "Illinois fans are hoping to see Sean Miller on the sidelines" it gets twisted up into all kinds of nonsense.
For reference, look at all the speculation and nonsense that went on when Ked Prince (I think it was Ked) broke a story that Skyy was entering the portal. It took days for the dust to settle, and even then a lot of people refused to believe what both the university and Skyy had said because the story was already out there.
Because some people are just plain not smart/not happy with anything . . .

that’s my guess as well
they likely wanted to get a jump on talking to him , hence the kinda early firing of Kermit Davis

Hard pass. Few people did less with so much talent than he did at Arizona.
I mean, that’s the purpose of pointing out what I did to highlight even the best coaches can be critiqued. Wished he would’ve stayed at Illinois, but let’s not forget he was being criticized after being bounced twice in the first round, and the loser of the national championship vs Memphis was going to have their season vacated because both teams had ineligible players playing. Kansas had Darrel Arthur and Memphis had Derrick Rose. Winner gets swept under the rug and loser gets vacated.

I watched Greg at Iowa state. I was not impressed. He thrives in the big east but like the Big12, he’s just not a good fit for big10 play
I learned….we’re going to the NIT?
