I’m not one to question TA and what he brought to the team. But during our downward spiral on the defensive end I remember hearing from multiple posters why TA wasn’t in charge of defensive scheming instead of Hamer. Maybe his defensive prowess as a player didn’t translate over to coaching…?

Does this have anything to do with the lateral move @Indy Illini Fan ?
I think you mean Chester instead of TA.

I recall some chatter that Chester took more control over defensive game planning from Hamer towards the end of season. Could be misremembering though.

Between the bourbon and loyalty going into a tizzy I was clearly frazzled. Absolutely meant Chester. Even when he took “control” I’m not sure our defensive metrics took a big enough jump. Maybe Coleman at the 5 was to blame, but scheme means just as much imho

Absolutely awful news anyway you slice this. Our best assistant. Reasonable questions will now be asked as to why he would even consider jumping ship to a cellar dwelling team like WVU.

If chester brought in better talent we wouldnt recruit over his guys. Its egg before chicken… or something like that.

It definitely hurts to lose an Illini grad, and I wish him and family the best. However, I am not sure the results back up this statement.

Only thing Chester brought to the program as a coach was recruits who Brad successfully recruited over and nothing from an X & O’s stand point. Sorry to state the truth 🤷‍♂️

For those that care about HS recruiting ...

I've been told do not be shocked if Cal brings in Jayden Q, Liam Mcneeley, Somto Cyril, Billy Richmond ...

Expect Travis Perry to stick at UK ...

Boogie Fland I have heard Uconn, Bama, and St. John's ...
Word here in Memphis is Billy Richmond is following. His dad played for Cal at Memphis.
