[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1564978, member: 746137"] Two very different epitaphs from two writers who have had very different views of the Lovie era as it has gone along, but I think they really synthesize together well to express what happened: [URL unfurl="true"]https://illiniboard.com/story/2020/12/15/couldn-t-care-less[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://medium.com/@illinitoffee/requiem-for-a-dream-13d23f02f8ec[/URL] The best line is probably Robert's: "[I]That's why he lost his job yesterday. It wasn't because he mailed it in. He was simply way too confident in his own ability to implement the plan.[/I]" Lovie is a good guy and a good coach, but at the end of the day he was never going to hew to the prevailing standards of college football because he thought he knew better, and in the end he didn't.
