Playing the roulette game of coaching candidates in 1991 were Jim Colletto, Curley Hallman, Jackie Sherrill, Gerry DiNardo, Tom Rossley, and Jery Pettibone. Jackie Sherrill would have been preeeeetty interesting considering how his TAMU tenure ended but I cannot imagine Illinois would have hired him. The rest of that list is awful, might be the worst coaching hire year for major schools that I can remember.

Jack Bicknell who was very successful at BC was purportedly interested.

I can't recall much pass protection by our running backs the past couple of years anyway. I don't thats going to factor in very much on whether he plays or not.
