Illinoisloyalty never change. Fart noise.
Do you think that Tech would be the only program interested other than Tech? I don't.I have heard this a bunch as well … Would Tang revisit the Texas job after saying no once ? Idk
Point is there is some kind of rift between JW and BU that is becoming public.
Hmmmm….Fire Coach UW, but try to negotiate the buyout due to the threat of bringing "cause" such as player abuse and inappropriate conduct unbecoming an Illini Coach.
This is a really bad idea. Brad's a good dude and we're better than that.Fire Coach UW, but try to negotiate the buyout due to the threat of bringing "cause" such as player abuse and inappropriate conduct unbecoming an Illini Coach.
Fair, I guess I did not appreciate the Wal-Mart connection enough. That fundamentally changes the situation, haha. Why the hell aren't the old money families of State Farm or formerly Caterpillar bankrolling all of our stuff then?
you mean all the ones that transferred out?look at the players who've been in Brad's program who have his back.
We also have beet juiceLike a Good Neighbor, Wal-Mart is there! And so is good old big piles of Texas Black Gold greenbacks.
But so what? The Prairie State has... lots and lots of Corn along with the Illinois Pork Producers! Let's see anybody top THAT. Fresh Bacon and Grits! And the best fans in the whole World.
What he did at Arizona is legal now.I'm late to the party on this....the whole work thing got in the way. Let's just assume that BU is on a bit of a fishing expedition. We're talking about the same Sean Miller that got bounced out of AZ for some unsavory recruiting practices? He's been at Xavier for one year and he's already open to bailing after they gave him his career back? I'm sure he's a nice guy, but his resume would have a few red flags on it. Fired + short stay at his next job.....not exactly a hiring manager's dream.
Unfortunate - Mac didn’t impress me at Iowa State. He’s done well at Creighton but I wouldn’t be over the moon. But if it’s who we’d get, I would trust Josh.
I agree and it's good to see that you are standing up for Brad. But tell me Bryce, how would you feel about transferring to Illinois if Sean Miller were the head coach here?This is a really bad idea. Brad's a good dude and we're better than that.
Senior Day last year was 2 guys who BU didn't initially recruit but stayed for 5 years, plus Kofi (3 years), plus a couple of rentals (Plummer, Jake), plus whatever Hutch was. So sure, cherry pick.you mean all the ones that transferred out?
Senior Day this year was two one-year rentals, lol
Exhibit A :Hmmmm….
That is a stone cold gangster move right there. (Basically you want him to go full insurance company investigator.) lol
To me that might raise some eyebrows
What do you mean by the word abuse?Who did he actually abuse? What was deemed inappropriate? Did it continue?
If so, why wasn’t’ something done at the time? If it’s important now and you knew it then…why didn’t you act?
The prior( “treadmill”)internal investigation turned up nothing…and the AD signed off on that correct?
He’s the AD and he can do whatever he wants but these are fair questions…
Let's just say Underwood leaves (I would be shocked if he did), and Miller says no (I can't imagine he'd leave X for Illinois), who would the top candidates be? Paul Mills? Darian Devries? Would be tough to pry away someone good from a high major IMO.
If there’s one thing I won’t tolerate it’s the mellow sounds of ‘70s Swedish power-Pop!Exhibit A :
I heard BU eats a lot of hot wings and then farts in the locker room as he locks the players inside.......
more facts to follow as soon as they are uncovered........................
Exhibit B :
Started to pipe in music of ABBA late in the season in practice.....................
I hope this is a joke, unless you mean as an assistant.Orlando Antigua
He’s been dead for 30 years and the two living son’s went to Arkansas. But he did give to the school of business which is named after him.Fair, I guess I did not appreciate the Wal-Mart connection enough. That fundamentally changes the situation, haha.
Why the hell aren't the old money families of State Farm or formerly Caterpillar bankrolling all of our stuff then?? I know State Farm helped a lot with the SFC, but we gave them a LOT of free exposure every single home game for that. We need rich Illinoisans to get annoyed enough that the Illini are not elite that they take steps to change that ... because that absolutely happens in a lot of other states. Sam Walton went to Mizzou, so his loyalty to Arkansas is state pride, not some alum connection.
The following is answering the question posted - I have no idea if it should/should not be done. It assumes you have someone good lined up as a replacement and things are at a point that either you don't want to try and repair it, or you think it is irreparable.Let's play hypothetical here: say Whitman has an actual discussion with Miller's agent this weekend. The agent tells him Miller will gladly talk about the IL job after Xavier's season. Lo and behold, Xavier is bounced. Miller informally chats with JW and says he'd be very interested in the job if Underwood leaves/is fired. What does Whitman do? What would you want him to do?
Loyalty at its finestI love how some on here go from: "Underwood is leaving?! The sky is falling!" to "Whitman should fire Underwood and make up a scandal so we don't have to pay him!"...in a matter of hours...smh
