[QUOTE="Illinijose, post: 1191533, member: 519068"] Whitman strikes me as an outstanding hire, I believe this hire had to be an "Illinois Man". Whitman being a football player and scholar give him an understanding of what needs to be done. I agree with those that say if Illinois didn't hire him a rival would soon do so in the coming years. Watching his news conference got me going and ignited what going to Illinois meant. As much as I love Illinois (holding two degrees) I know Whitman's love and passion for the university is greater. I think he will give the coaches a fair chance to succeed and not just replace them because he is the new AD. Personality wise he strikes me similar to Groce. Cubit and Hartlieb (baseball) also strike me as go getters that can succeed with the new AD. [/QUOTE]
