Sig updated again

Laughing how someone could be called elite but miss the majority of the great teams in their own league.

Its like Kessler feasting on the Colorado and Wazzu's of the world, but he elite though. No need to argue about opinions though. We know how everyone feels here.

BREAKING: Bill Cubit fired as Illinois football coach, school announced.

That program is a joke. 

 

[bigmike23]

why in the hell would you do that now?

 

[nako xl]

Only explanation I can see is they think they have a lead on someone they like better who would come right now. Or else, just petty beef in admin coming out.

 

[witnesskb24]

My god my alma is the dumbest program ever LMFAO

No wonder that stadium is 75% empty every game

 

[herbshuttles15]

Maybe Cubit did something flagrant but that would be on Illinois for hiring someone who do something flagrant.

 

[nako xl]

I was gonna say another possible explanation is that he did something criminal or unethical requiring his immediate dismissal.

 

[witnesskb24]

They're pushing spring practice back now too I've heard...wow

Some credible sources are telling me Lovie Smith will be the next #Illini head football coach. @cbschicago

 

[herbshuttles15]

Wow hard to imagine lovie dealing with all the shenanigans that come along with CFB

 

[casper90403]

Wow Lovie. Why? Of all the places

 

[rook]

Now it makes sense why they fired the HC but damn

 

[witnesskb24]

Lawd now the locals here think they're winning the title next year hope if they do hire him he can help turn them around

*edit*

Did y'all hear anything about Urlacher being the LB coach? That would be insane. They need a big hire

I like Lovie coming into the conference... No clue how he will be able to do but have to think he can put a staff together to get some of the home state talent to stay

The CFB Playoff schedule is changing, but it's not going to help the ratings at all. http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-fo...ges-new-years-eve-ratings-down-2016-from-2015 … 

 

[swendro]

There's only 1 man who can salvage the cfb playoff ratings.

Can confirm, $4 million assistant salary pool for #illini. Cubit's staff was $2.4 million.

New AD isn't messing around. 

 

[dacomeup]

Really interested in seeing who he targets.

McElwain gonna announce that Treon & Calloway are off the team today

Don't scare me Dre. I had to go look this up. Seems like they're both suspended for Spring but only Callaway is still enrolled full-time...I think. Either way, time to cover my ears and trust this'll all be handled by the fall
