Most every coach had a large number of transfers after first season. - roughy October 10, 2019, 15:08:52 If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail * - jdl October 10, 2019, 15:30:41 What a revolting thought. * - uofi1998 October 10, 2019, 13:25:59 I really hope I'm wrong, but I think the 50th percentile projection - GMAW October 10, 2019, 13:29:06 I think they'll be fine this year (because pretty much everyone else took a step back) - UofIL6 October 10, 2019, 13:40:01 I feel like your second point isn't being discussed enough. - roughy October 10, 2019, 13:56:33 Yep, nearly every top team (save MSU and maybe OSU) should be a lot worse - UofIL6 October 10, 2019, 15:06:42 Sure and the non-con is much easier, too - jdl October 10, 2019, 16:00:40 That adjust the place in the Big Ten projection. I don't think it changes the seed projection - DT October 10, 2019, 14:09:40 There’s no tangible evidence to the contrary. Huge prove-it year. * - uofi1998 October 10, 2019, 13:33:50 I'd be more optimistic if we hadn't been the worst P5 team in the country to close last season - DT October 10, 2019, 13:50:14 D1 average AD tenure is 4.5 years* - ArtVandelay October 10, 2019, 13:07:59 Relevant comparison group is P5, though, not all D1 - DT October 10, 2019, 13:18:09 Good point. I think #myguy Patrick Chun was only at Florida Atlantic for four years before getting - roughy October 10, 2019, 13:21:27 so his 4 year stint is balanced by someone with 5 years elsewhere.

The average length of time an AD stays at one school is 4.5 years - ArtVandelay October 10, 2019, 15:30:18 The most important thing is that nobody be held accountable until it’s way past gone* - illiniranger October 10, 2019, 16:04:30 as the old management saying goes: hire fast, fire faster* - ArtVandelay October 10, 2019, 18:03:14 But this debate is "how long do AD's normally stay at schools?" - roughy October 10, 2019, 15:23:37 Wow.

It is a parellel move at best for him..... - HectorVillanueva19 October 7, 2019, 13:08:58 Agreed. He’s probably not risking his career on us. - VIV October 7, 2019, 14:03:06 Not risking that much when you get a guaranteed $12 mill to come here* - CubsWonWorldSeries October 8, 2019, 19:01:54 Fickell feels to me like Frost at UCF. Exactly the kind of resume that gets picked for a big-time - meanjeans October 7, 2019, 14:37:06 at 2.4mm per year he can wait for a better option than IL if he wants to - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 14:42:04 I hear you but dude, Clawson has WF ranked and 5-0.

Don't know how I feel about that one. I just remember his MI stint. - SGIllini1 October 7, 2019, 11:38:20 There is a 0% chance the BOT would sign off on a guy who was run out of U of A for... - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 11:39:02 Clearly Urban* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 7, 2019, 11:45:20 Clawson may be a Tier A guy the more I look at it. I think he's going to be in P5 demand. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 11:33:48 Also, I would take Schiano in a heartbeat. - VIV October 7, 2019, 11:32:15 Wasn't that with Big East Rutgers, rather than B1G Rutgers? - MJC73 October 7, 2019, 12:12:33 My concern is the game passed him by - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 11:51:43 Sounds like we're describing Lovie - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 11:53:10 I don’t think the 4-3 is so bad as how we’re fundamentally coached - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 11:57:31 I'm with you that Illinois definitely needs to look for schematic wrinkles - DT October 7, 2019, 12:16:30 tOSU can get a lot of pressure with 4 - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 12:22:25 I think everyone who isn't Alabama needs schematic wrinkles - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 12:20:13 Except the guys on the list have actually coached in college or recruited after the 90s* - gvibes October 7, 2019, 11:56:29 yeah, although I'm generally skeptical of that tier - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 12:05:12 There's a stigma there with him, whether fair or not. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 11:37:06 I think everyone else in Tier A laughs us off the phone. - VIV October 7, 2019, 11:28:47 i'd be really happy with a Tier B type guy - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 11:31:29 I mean, the new hotness seems to be assembling The Expendibles - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 11:34:02 Both still very early. Herm got a great QB though * - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 11:52:34 I don't think you can underestimate the assistance ESPN provided Herm Edwards. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 11:36:12 hrm... so who is in the studio that we can get free advertising for? - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 11:41:51 Wanny??? We'd probably end up with Lee Corso, permanently wearing our opponent's costume. - osklister October 7, 2019, 11:44:44 if we have the war chest we had with Lovie... maybe? - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 11:30:12 Agree with all of that* - illini21 October 7, 2019, 11:19:03 Oh #### yes* - illini21 October 7, 2019, 10:46:48 whoever we hire, i will be cautiously optimistic at best - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:53:13 Like a “how bad must they be if they want this job?” kind of skeptical?* - VIV October 7, 2019, 11:16:34 no, it's just that guys fail at this all the time and it's really hard - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 11:21:25 Cincy was definitely on the downswing when he took them over - VIV October 7, 2019, 12:06:23 I’d guess he inherited something to go 11-2 in year 2 - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 12:09:04 Young, dumb and... you know. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 11:17:55 It would be gross incompetence not to be sniffing around right now* - jayd October 7, 2019, 10:45:57 Yeah scoop is usually plugged into the coaching world too* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 7, 2019, 10:33:45 2020 is set up perfectly for a Brohm like opportunity - snipes824 October 7, 2019, 9:50:13 How does freaking Rutgers move on their guy who had one more B1G than Lovie? Does JW have urgency?* - ArtVandelay October 7, 2019, 10:21:16 Well if the rumor above is true JW is already out there - CanHartlebHireSnider October 7, 2019, 10:40:36 forgot who it was that pointed it out... but the Butkus Statue and homecoming are coming up - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 10:23:47 small time. JW is the guy who wants to be in those photo ops anyway* - ArtVandelay October 7, 2019, 10:25:55 I mean, as much as we all know what's going to happen, the ship isn't compltely sunk yet - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 10:32:41 poor Dick Butkus. Every time he comes back for something we get ####ing killed. * - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:25:26 He should thank his 'ole pal Ron Guenther for effing it all up, then. - HectorVillanueva19 October 7, 2019, 13:13:02 "Enjoy the second half...if you can." - osklister October 7, 2019, 11:46:00 (i thought this at the end of last year) - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 9:57:14 This shouldn’t discourage from firing, but in an era where waivers get handed out like candy... - OB25 October 7, 2019, 9:55:54 Right. You have to assume this roster becomes 85 free agents the minute Lovie is canned. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 9:59:38 What if you keep that STL H.S. Coach on staff to use him as a transitional guy.... - HectorVillanueva19 October 7, 2019, 13:20:23 Edit - cousin, not brother. They're de facto brothers* - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:05:14 It's a strong argument for fire soon. - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 10:04:02 JW won't fire. Lovie will "step down" or "retire". JW won't publicly take blame or admit fault* - ArtVandelay October 7, 2019, 10:28:26 Where in the world does this come from?! I'm serious, I have been seeing variations of this - Taz October 7, 2019, 12:55:19 He will get the same buyout. It will just be all about messaging. See: Cubs & Joe Maddon.* - HectorVillanueva19 October 7, 2019, 13:21:27 Of course Whitman will try to put a positive spin on it, that's part of his job - Taz October 7, 2019, 13:24:26 it comes from my two direct interactions with JW... - ArtVandelay October 7, 2019, 14:27:42 I hope he is confident and decisive and gives off that air - Taz October 7, 2019, 14:48:30 the good news is almost everyone has to txfer down - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:09:01 Absofreakinglutely. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:06:10 Oh no, what ever will happen to our defense? - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 10:08:11 I totally get it, and the joke writes itself. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:11:13 I dunno man, have roughy do it - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 10:18:24 He already drank the liniment.* - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 10:20:58 We'd end up running an air-raid triple option* - UIHuskie October 7, 2019, 10:20:28 Miles will keep his job through the end of the season - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:12:59 I can't imagine him being kept if Lovie isn't. Josh didn't keep Ryan Cubit around either. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:26:23 i'm just talking through the season - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:28:02 He wouldn't. I don't see it as vindictive. I see it as decisive. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:30:16 at that point, who cares? - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:31:42 The AD still has a responsibility to the players. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:35:30 Depends on Miles... he's gonna be interviewing for another job soon enough - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 10:37:05 Too many of Lovie's kids and grandkids eat off his contract at Illinois - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:10:00 Eff it, move his contract (not Miles' though) over to the DIA budget. - osklister October 7, 2019, 11:48:55 grandkids? I thought it was just Miles.* - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 10:22:37 his other son is his agent - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 10:24:38 Ah. If you’re Lovie Smith, you probably wouldn’t use the services a “real” agent would provide - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 10:27:50 i think there's a good chance it's a blood bath - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 9:58:22 If I had time to go through the Roughy 90, I could probably make a pretty simple case for 30 to... - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:02:32 Or at least after Wisconsin beats us 70-0 * - ijustkrushalot October 7, 2019, 9:54:54 Yep, been saying that for months. It's why firing after this year is critical - UofIL6 October 7, 2019, 9:53:48 Hire Vince Kehres.* - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 9:42:24 A DIII coach that’s basically just maintaining what his daddy built?* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 7, 2019, 9:43:39 Other members of Daddy’s coaching tree: Matt Campbell, Jason Candle. - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 9:48:58 Both Campbell and Candle went through the ranks of FBS football - CanHartlebHireSnider October 7, 2019, 10:02:56 Candle worked under Campbell at Toledo, and their careers pretty much advanced in tandem - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 10:15:35 They both moved their way up the FBS ladder - CanHartlebHireSnider October 7, 2019, 10:39:27 Kehres basically did the same thing, just at Mt Union - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 10:45:00 I just cannot get with throwing a D3 coach into the P5 fire. That's too big a leap.* - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:46:18 Probably true, but all that winning and the success of Campbell and Candle - Chicago Joe October 7, 2019, 10:51:16 Sure, but it's skipping a pretty important step on the ladder.* - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:59:06 looking at the box score vs MN --- good god - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 9:32:42 We've been outgained by 614 yards in 2 B1G games. We aren't competitive* - UIHuskie October 7, 2019, 10:01:54 we've been absolutely owned in our 2 B1G games - Mrap24 October 7, 2019, 9:48:25 Our QB situation, in general, is pretty depressing - UofIL6 October 7, 2019, 9:36:18 And the kid who could be the kid probably will not come once Lovie is jettisoned.* - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 9:49:51 Speaking of which, I had completely forgotten we had a 4* QB commit until like 2 days ago - OB25 October 7, 2019, 9:51:12 He is, and at least through the first 2 games or so, he was doing well. - uofi1998 October 7, 2019, 10:03:21 He's the starting QB this year* - UIHuskie October 7, 2019, 9:56:46 the fact that IW is too injured to travel, and has played in exactly two plays, should sound alarm - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 9:38:39 laziness, did our win percentage chance against Rutgers, Purdue, NW - redgrange77 October 7, 2019, 9:23:52 according to ESPN's matchup predictor, here is our % chance to win each of our games - Mrap24 October 7, 2019, 9:53:53 we dropped pretty good in SP+ - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 9:26:24 PERFECT SHOCKING WIN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOVIE - timmer October 7, 2019, 8:57:28 In the date we’ve circled for years, we’re only a 20 point underdog at home... - OB25 October 7, 2019, 8:21:19 “We’ve”? * - roughy October 7, 2019, 8:29:28 Ha, didn’t want to pin it all on you. But I feel like we’ve at least kind of bought onto the idea* - OB25 October 7, 2019, 8:55:42 I don’t mind the pin. - roughy October 7, 2019, 9:17:30 I really just want to fast forward 2 months so I can try to get excited for the new coach/vision - UofIL6 October 7, 2019, 8:22:28 We looked lifeless vs MN - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 8:45:43 Would be pretty insane if Lovie got fired on Oct. 12, 2019. * - illini October 7, 2019, 7:56:30 JW should call the Redskins and ask if they are interested* - Lord Maximus October 7, 2019, 8:58:38 I think you kind of have to give him the chance to limp to five wins* - gvibes October 7, 2019, 8:44:51 Fire him after the 7th loss, period. - IlliniOllie October 7, 2019, 9:08:35 why? what good would that do? - IlliniSax05 October 7, 2019, 8:58:09 Fire him ASAP. Do not give him the chance to fluky win the job back aka the Beckman * - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 8:47:09 if they somehow recover and get to 6 wins, I don't know how you can fire him - IlliniOllie October 7, 2019, 8:54:58 that's why you fire him now - illiniranger October 7, 2019, 9:22:07 Oh, I'd fire him now, just for the long term. I just don't see JW/Illinois doing it after 6 wins* - IlliniOllie October 7, 2019, 11:32:43 If we get molly-whopped by Michigan and Wisconsin, you*have* to fire the DC. - longsnapper October 7, 2019, 8:17:48 How are we not going to get "molly-whopped"? Is the writing not on the wall? - Lord Maximus October 7, 2019, 8:20:34 We might be able to limit it to an old fashioned ass whuppin - DT October 7, 2019, 8:37:40 I'd say that that we are -90 in the next 2 games. I was at -100 before, but - OWWDig October 7, 2019, 9:08:49 Michigan plays Penn State and ND the next two weeks - IlliniOllie October 7, 2019, 8:37:08 Will the News-Gazoo ask JW if Lovie has his “vote of confidence”? * - Lord Maximus October 7, 2019, 8:01:28 probably apropos of nothing, but @IlliniAD hasn't tweeted since early in the Nebraska game - Gene Parmesan October 7, 2019, 8:07:29 Maybe someone finally got through to him that tweeting things like “what a great Illini weekend!” - IlliniOllie October 7, 2019, 8:40:02 "Illini Husker Du team remains undefeated!! Late score means football drops heartbreaker by 52." - osklister October 7, 2019, 9:18:42 Bocce ball is legit, though* - KCWildcat October 7, 2019, 8:41:06 Sounds about right................for the first half* - timmer October 7, 2019, 7:24:43 We may not score in this one.
