Does it count if the season hasn't actually started though?


I mean I'm not going to throw a fit if it doesn't, but camp has been going on for weeks. I personally see camps as the start of the season.

All it says is first coach to be fired, it doesn't say when.

But he also said he's closing the voting at the end of the month so technically you could edit your posts

Vic Koenning improved Illinois' defense from 91st in the country to 7th in 2 years.

Right, but hiring good coordinators isn't a negative, that's their job.

Any head coach is only as good as his coordinators, in which he hires.

Zook blows but having good coordinators is not a negative.

Doesn't it say this season? Technically the season hasn't started yet.

It doesn't say anything about the season, plus camp is over now and practice has started so I think this counts.

Just my opinion, I don't have a dog in this fight I didn't vote

Personally think all Tim Beckmann picks should be awarded 1000 points, but I really need that $20 Popeye's money

Why the HELL do you fire the coach one week before the season starts? Did the AD find him sitting with the whole team in the locker room drinking 40s and passing blunts? I mean honestly WHAT would you have to do to get fired one week before the season starts??

Mistreatment of players. It is literally talked about multiple times in this.

Illinois stole Jihad Ward from us. Maybe now we can flip him.

It really makes no sense to me why Illinois is terrible. I'm sure they have plenty of incredible high school players out in the corn fields, and they have a frick ton of Chicago money.

Any school is a bad coach away from being terrible. Unfortunately for Illinois, they've had a string of several shitty head coaches.

If they could have built off the Zook recruiting success with a really good hire, they would have had something going.

But they dropped the ball.
