Illinois says it has learned of efforts to deter injury reporting and influence medical decisions.

AD should be gone too. With this and the women's basketball allegations the whole department needs a fresh start.

I wonder if there was any discussion on this board about Beckman and the "Oskee" thing. It may have not sat well with the Illini faithful.

I wouldn't be upset. Wont take them too high, but better than Beckman or Zook.

Public speaking may be the only thing he is worse at than coaching.

What smaller school did Beckman come from?

Seemed like they did when they had the Zooker.



I wouldn't even say that. They just had a guy who had a high-profile job previously (Florida) and was known more for his recruiting prowess than coaching ability.

Toledo. Matt(?) Campbell was his OC that really lead the program. He refused to go with Beckman and stayed.

If Illinois ever started caring about football they could be great. The administration at the school cares very little about athletics though. May be big changes coming at the very top too though.

Edit: Correction they are already bringing in a new Chancellor.

They fired him due to potential lawsuits from ex-players IMO.

There has been a lot of smoke around this situation for a while, it's surprising they waited this long.

Yeah, Zook was terrible, he got Illanoy to their 1 and only BCS bowl. Man was he horrible.

Nutt won't sniff a BCS bowl at Illinois, let alone a New Years day bowl. Keep dreaming.

You're an idiot. Zook couldn't coach for shite. He had great coordinators that coached up his recruits. He also led a 6-0 team to a 6-6 finish.

They should make a run at Lane Kiffen. He think he'd do well there.

Say what you want about the B1G but if they can add a few more top level coaches to go with Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio and Franklin, they will be turning a corner.

The B1G East is going to be stacked this year, perhaps the best division in football.
