That is not a name I expected to hear again. Excited to see what he can do! Interesting tho he is given credit for IW and SC when I thought those were considered Patterson’s guys. Doesn’t matter. I think its a plus to have him back.

Report: Thad Ward to return to Illini as assistant coach
Illinois reportedly is finalizing a deal to bring Thad Ward back to Champaign

How ‘bout it. Brings in a top development guy from NFL to improve the pass rush. Some on board worry he has no recruiting experience. Don’t worry, just wait for it, wait for it — here’s your top recruiter you’ve been wanting. So nice to have a competent HC. Thank you Bret.
I can't really put into words how weird it is to think/know that this program is being built up into something that it hasn't been in over 30 years.
They won the Big 12 … Their HC is very well thought of and will be in line for an even bigger job in a few years …
Says a lot about our program, the support Bret has from Josh and what other people think of Bret that Ward was even willing to leave …
I'm so happy I kept my littyville shirts!

Lovie's best hire. I like this a lot. We were getting blown out by 30+ on the regular and he was still able to create a buzz with recruits.
Is he Brian's son?

No one's more excited about this hire than gameday spirit. Those 90% off clearance littyville shirts might finally be cleared out.
Anybody know if BB has one? or two? Maybe Thad gave him one.
And now we know where the Familly lives: In Littyville!!
That’s gross and uncalled for.He also got us in a lot of kids then Lovie just
Lovie is just… Lovie
Sorry to be “that guy,” but remind me why he left us?They won the Big 12 … Their HC is very well thought of and will be in line for an even bigger job in a few years …

Went to work for his buddy Rod Carey at Temple ...
What about Miles?
Very politically correct answer. I like it:
I’m cryingThe alpha male of alpha males ? He's ready to be a HC ...
. I wouldn’t hire him to coach pee weeI’m crying
Only play calling he should be doing is through Madden ...
