Illinois' newest commit included this quote (in Werner's article) that implies Miles Smith will stay (?) as the LB coach.

I don't see how Miles is qualified at all to be an LB coach. That's just a bad hire if this comes to fruition.

Miles did coach coach LBs/nickels even before he was promoted....so that could be it as well.

Whoever is hired and whenever the hire happens, someone will need to explain to me the benefit of waiting this long to make it official.

Because Wade Phillips is still coaching right now. The announcement can be made on Monday /s ;)

It has now been exactly 3 months since Hardy resigned (October 29). Can’t wait to hear how this is spun as a positive.

Well, if a coach is not on a staff yet, he can contact players during the no-contact period, or so I heard. Not saying that is the case hear, just spitballing.

Well, we are in a contact period right now. The next quiet period is Feb. 3, and the next dead period is Feb. 4 - 7. So I guess we won't hear anything until Feb. 8th (the start of the next quiet period) to make use of that loophole.

Yeah, the no contact loophole benefit hasn’t been a benefit for a few weeks right? We should have just announced the hire back at the start of the contact period.

Edit: Maybe they are literally just devoting 99% of their time to recruiting and haven’t taken the time to announce.

Or maybe they have their hire and are just letting him recruit without ANY NCAA restrictions. (As opposed to just getting around the no contact)

I’m shootin in the dark here.

Well, maybe it is or maybe it isn't but it could be. I guess we will know when we know unless we aren't privy to the knowledge that will ultimately answer all of the questions. I think I have a pretty good handle on it and feel very comfortable with assumptions. I hope that is perfectly clear.

Yes, we are all aware of his defensive game planning, which might be part of the delay in finding someone.
