[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1565589, member: 4851"] While his stubbornness is a fair criticism, I would hardly call it the only one. The hiring of his unqualified son to be one of the highest paid state employees is certainly another very fair criticism. With that hire, the message was clear: The Smith family finances were more important than the University of Illinois football program, all the while being paid north of $4 million per year to make that decision. Let that sink in for a while and digest it. It was a jerk move. He was bilking the state by making the hire. He may have cared about Illinois football, but he wasn't "all in." How many people did he interview for the position? (And how many people did he interview to be DC?) Is it really fair to dismiss this lack of effort as "he was who he was?" Robert may have a closer seat to the action, but that doesn't mean he can see any better. In fact, being closer might have made him more biased. [/QUOTE]
