Wow DC is Miles Smith with a promotion! Seems like he really is a rising star.
I'm totally kidding this just seemed fun to do. I-L-L!

So Ron English as DC?Prepare for the smoke screen, bait and switch, Charlie Brown moment folks. Nut cup installed.
Now what fun is that.Lol, I remember how giddy this entire board was for months when we snagged Garrick McGee. People were acting like we landed Vince Lombardi. Instead we got an OC so terrible he couldn't run any kind of offense without Lamar Jackson and chased off a RB who proceeded to run for 2300 yds and 21 TDs in 2 seasons before making the NFL.
No matter who we get, lets wait till the season to start shooting off fireworks.
Is this knowledge or just based on history?Prepare for the smoke screen, bait and switch, Charlie Brown moment folks. Nut cup installed.
And recall Nick Saban's recent comment about today's NCAA football (paraphrasing). The game has evolved to the point where it's all about offense. It's nearly impossible to stop the opposing team these days; instead, our goal is to score one more point than the opposition.I don't see much difference between Conklin and Walters really. Walters has the SEC experience, but either way I think either would translate fine into the Big 10 just fine.
I have given some Conklin stats in past posts. Here are some stats for Walters
Walters stats as Co-D
16-17
vs teams outside top 25 11-10 pts against 29.5
vs teams in top 25 0-4 pts against 43.0
Walters stats as Def Coordinator
18-20
vs teams outside top 25 17-7 pts against 21.6
vs teams in top 25 2-9 pts against 33.5
I will say Walters had a stellar year in 2019. He got lit up this year but also played the toughest schedule since arriving in Missouri. They played 5 top 25 teams out of 10 games this year. Also gave up 38, 35, 41, 41 and 49 pts against those top 25 teams.
Saban and Bielema are on the opposite ends of the spectrum with that comment except for the score one more point than the oppositionAnd recall Nick Saban's recent comment about today's NCAA football (paraphrasing).

Philly Guy, Northeast. Could be a Democrat and Gundy wears OANN shirts. Maybe not a good match.If I could pick, it would be Knowles. But he has the least reason to want to leave.
My prediction is Conklin, just because we have the biggest raise to offer him.
If it's Walters I bet it's a multi-year deal, because he's currently making $900k at Mizzou.
We are Illinois, not Alabama. Alabama has had a long tradition before Saban was in place.Also opposite ends of the spectrum with national championships won.

Does this have anything to do with our new OC being a rumored candidate for the Marshall HC position?Prepare for the smoke screen, bait and switch, Charlie Brown moment folks. Nut cup installed.
We had a streak in 2020? 2 in a row with Nebraska and Rutgers. Now 2019, there was a streak . . .. . . this is the longest stretch I've been interested in Illinois football since we went on our winning streak last year.
Where are you seeing that?Does this have anything to do with our new OC being a rumored candidate for the Marshall HC position?
There is literally no rumor of that.Does this have anything to do with our new OC being a rumored candidate for the Marshall HC position?

Will Muschamp chooses buyout life over Texas defensive coordinator job (msn.com)For all those hyping up Muschamp & Robinson, I do not get it. Both can recruit, but that is essentially what younger position coaches do. Neither have been that great from an Xs & Os perspective. But it is not like they had much (IF ANY) success in the SEC.
Heck, the highlights of Muchamp's career was getting hired by Florida and being the coach-in-waiting at Texas.
Do better...
I knew it. Leak information to help our position against the field. Have Muschamp tell Texas to Pee Off, and sign him to a less lucrative deal he could get in Texas.Prepare for the smoke screen, bait and switch, Charlie Brown moment folks. Nut cup installed.
Man if we followed that line of thinking, we would never get to light any fireworks.No matter who we get, lets wait till the season to start shooting off fireworks.
No offense, but wholeheartedly disagree with this.Will Muschamp chooses buyout life over Texas defensive coordinator job (msn.com)
Not that I can keep Will on my list now that he turned down Texas but he has been a successful DC in college. We should be elated to have someone of his caliber running the D
It seems so silly to suggest that, and yet in letting Holliday go it is clear that this is an irrational crazypants process, it is well documented that the governor wants to bring back the Bob Pruett era, and most of the figures of that era are ludicrously old and retired.Does this have anything to do with our new OC being a rumored candidate for the Marshall HC position?
And an Ivy League guy on top of that.Philly Guy, Northeast. Could be a Democrat and Gundy wears OANN shirts. Maybe not a good match.
Uh that highlight showed a pass rush - which we have not had and DBs within a 10 yard bubble of the WRs......No offense, but wholeheartedly disagree with this.
Part of my family went to USCar & they were constantly complaining about the stupidity the D showed.
