Or maybe Paul Williams was a good hire by Cubit and Williams showcases a solid resume and Lovie considers him a very good coach.

The NFL can't block its coaches from taking college jobs. Or, more accurately, the NFL can only prevent their own teams from hiring coaches in contravention of the NFL's rules. The NFL's rules don't apply to Illinois.
Contracts tend to apply in US courts.
Would definitely be in favor of this.
Strong recruiter in Illinois
According to football scoop heckilinski is staying on.
Where does it say anything about him staying on? This is from their update today.

Illinois: Per source, defensive backs coach Paul Williams will stay on board as part of Lovie Smith’s staff. Scout has reported the same. Also, multiple reports state that tight ends coach / special teams coordinator Jeff Hecklinski will not be a part of the new staff.
Maybe they made the mistake and changed it???
How many of the current (including Lovie's hires) staff have ties to the state of Illinois? No doubt Nickerson and McGee will pull out of state kids, but who are the heaviest hitters in Illinois?
Could of sworn it said wil be a part, sorry folks,:smash: Monday's
So far Butkus is our Chicago guy. Still have 3 spots to fill so wouldn't be surprising to see 1 more Illinois name, but this staff will recruit a lot more nationally.
Is there any chance that Lovie brings in 'placeholder' staff for a year and hires guys he actually wants when the carousel is actually spinning?

I think he has the coordinators he wants in McGee and Nickerson, but at the position coach level, I wouldn't be surprised to see some turnover, which is pretty normal anyway.
