[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 1948968, member: 748820"] Not revisionist at all related to football. Thomas came in during the last season of Zook, and he had a full offseason to get his football hire. The team still had some pieces, but it was not great by any means. He blew that hire completely with the lasagna loving fool. Scandals arose and he was fired shortly after Beckman was fired. The result was an interim coach in Cubit for one season and no permanent AD. The administration extended Bill Cubit 1 year. In recruiting terms, this was terrible and the roster was near gutted with near non existent recruiting. Enter Josh. He was hired in February after the normal hiring process for football was over. He made the biggest splash he could with very limited recruiting time to start for Lovie. It ultimately didn't turn out well with Lovie, but any rational viewer would see Josh having a much worse starting hand than Thomas. Period. That is why you can't only look at record when comparing the two. Context matters. [/QUOTE]
