I’d rather see Beckman's second term.I’ll be surprised if it’s not Bielema. Let’s see what the next chapter brings.

I’d rather see Beckman's second term.
I look forward to him once again proving he’s smarter than any of us. BU is a home run. Lovie was a stabilizer but ultimately flamed out. Surprised all of us.Josh Whitman strikes me as the type of guy that doesn't do anything on the "spur of the moment"
I'm not gonna say you're wrong, but I'm gonna go ahead and report this comment for vulgarity.I’d rather see Beckman's second term.
If true, some will be happy, some mad, very risky. I’m not all that thrilled by it.
He is Kedric Prince’s choice.Not saying it’s who I want. Just saying he’s my prediction. I’ll be surprised if it’s not him. But I was surprised he wasn’t named our coach about 11 months ago actually.
Thankfully he's not in charge of this hire.He is Kedric Prince’s choice.
I would agree with his comment Beckman 1/10 Bielema 0/10. Since I have a hard time deserting teams I root for. I would be rooting for a quick failure and firing for Bielemasshole.
You think it was serious? Come on.Why anyone would ever type these words is beyond me. I'd rather not have a football team.
Absolutely correct.My wish list wouldn’t align with the values I’d the admin at Illinois. It sounds like JW already has his guy and I know he contacted 5-6 coaches before making this decision. You guys should have an answer soon(I don’t know exactly who the choice is yet either)
Let’s stop overthinking this. The point is neither one of those idiots should have, or should ever, hold a clipboard on our sideline. Nor anyone in their moronic zip code.And rather than that, you'd prefer someone we already employed, who failed miserably to recruit or win while abusing players and being just a general national embarrassment?
You know two people can be 0/10 at the same time, right?
He was given the option to retire....for a lesser buyout. He declinedI am very surprised that LS was fired.
No to BB. I can't imagine that JW would hire him anyway.
Yes to GM if there is any way in the world that he would come here.
I wonder whether any assistant coaches will be retained.
So you are saying Miles Smith is our next head coach, and we are hoping to catch lightning in a bottle by finding our "young Lovie"?If true, some will be happy, some mad, very risky. I’m not all that thrilled by it.
A Kreskin reference...both rare and well played. Leipold or Jeff Monken for me...unless JW can make the miracle hire of Fickell ( yes, I know...ain’t happening)I do not think this was a spur of moment decision. I did notice, as I suspect many others did, that the coaching staff seemed to just let the game clock just wind down yesterday. Didn’t look right. You get possession with 6 minutes left, and you have your timeouts, so you should compete. They didn’t. It made me wonder if they knew they were done. Then Bob Golic said something about “we don’t know what the future holds” and I wondered if the word was already leaking around the press box. Not that you needed to be Kreskin to see this coming.
RE: no more firings, I just don't want to compete with Auburn for the next head coach. I know we are not the top of the food chain in5 years ago one guy kept posting Dino Babers over and over, and another kept harping Fuentes.
Now it's Bielema . . . As for that fellow being a DB, I think Petrino is a charter member of that club.
And as for the post-er who wants no more NCAA firings, he should consult with the folks over at Ann Arbor.
Well for me. I wouldn't want Bielema under any circumstance. Lovie wasn't going to win. But at least he was a decent person. All the Bielema talk has ruined my fun following another coaching search. I suppose I could learn to root against anything Illini football does. It may be more rewarding that trying to have a winning team.And rather than that, you'd prefer someone we already employed, who failed miserably to recruit or win while abusing players and being just a general national embarrassment?
You know two people can be 0/10 at the same time, right?
I agree. And I base it upon an interview with Nick Saban this fall where (paraphrasing) he conceded that college football is an offensive-minded game these days. You can have a good defense and still give up 30 points a game. It's all about scoring more points than your opponent.I really hope that Josh finds/found a great offensive mind. It seems that great OC get stolen away more than great DC. Or, maybe it's just my impression. I think it is easier to replace a DC.
How about BOTH HC and OC1. Jeff Monken
2. Todd Monken
Todd did some amazing work at Southern Miss before taking the NFL route. Now back in college. I wanted Todd when Lovie got hired. I’d take either Monken.
Don't you put that evil on me!So you are saying Miles Smith is our next head coach, and we are hoping to catch lightning in a bottle by finding our "young Lovie"?
We’re definitely not competing with auburn on this hire.RE: no more firings, I just don't want to compete with Auburn for the next head coach. I know we are not the top of the food chain in
