[QUOTE="TooHot4Tots, post: 1565600, member: 10840"] I'll be honest, when Herman Edwards and Leslie Frazier's names came up in regards to becoming our HC, I was all for Herm. Then news of Lovie Smith broke and I was scratching my head. After thinking about it, I was not thrilled with the hire from a coaching perspective, but thought he could steer this program in the right direction and be extremely successful if he was all in and hired a solid staff around him. Then Hardy Nickerson is tabbed as DC and i knew he was going to struggle. Then McGee announced as OC and I was beyond frustrated with the direction of the staff. Lovie was an arrogant prick to Illinois HS coaches, and several others that just never helped in recruiting. I will give him credit for helping with kids developing off the field and with the new facilities. Just never understood why he felt his name still carried the weight it did during his early Bears run. If only he would have changed his ways. The Miles hire was a slap in the face to all Illini and JW should have stepped in to nix it. Bring on the new regime! [/QUOTE]
