[QUOTE="BRucks, post: 1564009, member: 5888"] I wish that I shared your confidence in Whitman's due diligence. History would indicated that he showed none of that with his first football hire. His first day on campus was March 5, 2016. He fired Bill Cubit that same day. He flew Lovie Smith in and introduced him as the new football coach at a news conference on the University of Illinois campus two days later, March 7, 2016. There was no search committee. The position was never advertised. He had never hired a football coach prior to that time. Larry Kindbom was coach at Washington U. for Josh's full tenure there as was Joel Dettwiler during his full tenure at UW-LaCrosse. Perhaps things will be different this time. [/QUOTE]
