[QUOTE="JJHUI79, post: 1431509, member: 19958"] Good move by Josh, IMHO. For every example just given about other coaches who fail at other programs after being given extra years, there are likewise examples of successful coaches who just needed time to get their program going. What's the alternative? An expensive buyout, trying to find a new coach, losing a ton of players yet again, starting all over yet again, years and years and years before there's any chance of success. I'm glad that you are staying the course, Josh. How many freshmen started last year? And then how many freshman started again this year? It's a painful but necessary way to build in light of the utter mess that Beckman left behind after trying to turn Illinois into a mid-level MAC program.. [/QUOTE]
