If the rumors are true, Butkus could be on the move to NFL again; would Tice actually be interested in working with Lovie again???

Only rumors about Luke I have seen or heard is he was the main on to call out McGee about things to others. Mainly to his old team/roommate.

NFL available assistants with Lovie ties:

•Mike Tice: O-line and head coaching experience
•Brian Schottenheimer: QB coaching and Offense Coordinator
•Harold Goodwin: offensive coordinator and O-line (if Bruce Arians does decide to step away).

I do not see anything any of these really bring to the table. Goodwin has the title OC but he would just be another McGee. Everyone knows Arians runs the offence for the cards. We need someone who is an OC that has done well as an OC but I get the feeling we are going to just get another name that really cant call plays

Besides a few exceptions, Illinois should really stay away from adding another NFL guy.

Rather avoid bringing in any other new coaches besides the current openings.

He also has a "normal" career that he's spent many years growing that has nothing to do with football and certainly offers far more stability than college coaching. He'd almost certainly give a "no thanks" of his own on the crazy chance the offer were presented.

I know it's fun to spitball on a message board, but some of the names that get thrown out here are really far removed from reality.

He's never coached. No thanks.

Yep. he's doing well for himself in the real estate world.

Would Kurt Kittner be interested this time around?

No. Never coached, stepped away from the broadcast booth to go back to Chicago full time and have less time away from family. Also has a successful and I assume lucrative position in real estate there. He's a welcome supporter of the program though.

Fair enough. How about Jon Beutjer??

Can't tell if you're serious. If you want a former Illini qb, just look at the current support staff. Nathan Scheelhaase has been cutting his teeth in the coaching world the last few years. Wouldn't mind adding him to the staff as maybe a QB coach, but would really hope they find a solid, established OC to go along with him.

Haha, can't tell if someone on IllinoisLoyalty is serious about an outrageous suggestion?!

I was never sure I wanted Beutjer as a qb. Definitely not feeling good about him as the OC. But at least he has experience as an OC.

I kid though. No- and I hope you're joking too by floating the name.

I was hoping to hear some actual names that were being considering instead of our speculation by now. I guess Lovie has shown in the past he can keep a secret
