[FONT="]Major props to Lovie for doing this

[FONT="]New Illinois coach Lovie Smith is retaining all three assistants Bill Cubit recently hired and who moved to Champaign -- Mike Phair, Tim McGarigle and Paul Williams l. Nathan Scheelhaase, who worked on the staff last year and was promoted by Cubit to QBs coach, also is being retained in a non-coaching role. Phair will coach defensive line, McGarigle will remain linebackers coach and Williams will remain defensive backs coach. Good to see this as Cubit was concerned about those three finding other jobs for 2016.[/FONT]
