[QUOTE="Ubermensch, post: 1367709, member: 16319"] There's a very good chance Patterson doesn't work out the way we'd like it to. That's not a prediction. It's just an obvious observation. But the risk vs. reward works out pretty favorably for Illinois in its current situation. If it doesn't, oh no, Illinois might be bad at football. Never expected that. If it works, he can get you the kind of talent -- at least in the short term -- that can help you be competitive with other B10 programs again. I feel like Rod Smith is going to be able to help make up for the learning curve Patterson is faced with, both in coaching and recruiting. Rod Smith has an opportunity to prove himself here. He's going to give it everything he has. I'm actually a little encouraged. [/QUOTE]
