Bigred_inSD Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Seems a little late to do this, but it is the AD's first day. I thought Illinois did well with how their season started. 1 Quote Link to comment

BlueInTheFace Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Whenever I'm feeling bad about my athletic department, I think about Illinois, Purdue and Rutgers. It helps. Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I don't think you make this move unless you have someone ready to take the spot but this is Illinois so who knows. I saw on Twitter that they might be going after Lovie Smith. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 https://twitter.com/davidhaugh/status/706226136158642176 So a weak offense and an outdated Tampa 2 defense? I'll take it. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Smith is in...this is huge...If you are not sure about how Illinois (politics) work, this is the biggest homerun hire that I can ever think of. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I would say that Lovie Smith is a much bigger name than Bill Cubit. If I was running Illinois, I would go after a guy like Smith. It could be a home run, or it could be a colossal failure. But, I don't think Illinois was going to do anything big under Cubit, other than beating Nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment
