[QUOTE="ktal, post: 1563895, member: 745969"] First off I'd like to wish good luck to Lovie and his family. I greatly appreciate the integrity and stability he led with, and truly wished his tenure had been wildly successful. Alas, the wins didn't come, so here we are. There are several promising young up-and-coming coaches hoping for opportunity in the P5 who are realistic gets for Illinois this year. My guess is that Josh is already finalizing a contract with Lovie's replacement, and that it's someone we wouldn't be able to land if Texas, Nebby and another dozen P5 and G5 positions were also open. In other words, the chaos of this season may have created a uniqure opportunity for Josh to hire above our weight class. I have a lot of confidence in Josh. I think he deservedly had every reason to expect Lovie could be successful here. I appreciate that he judged based on results, and I'm hopeful that he has done whatever due diligence required to ensure this next hire is truly able to perform. My bet is we know the new coach before our next game. And probably by dinner on Tuesday. [/QUOTE]
