2018年11月26日 · Whether Lovie gets fired in 2019 is not affected by the extension. That’s because we don’t owe him any more money if we fire him next year even with the extension. It’s helpful that your coach has four more years on his “contract” for recruiting purposes — that’s why Whitman did it — but the only number that matters in terms of ...

2024年11月25日 · I truly believe that by hiring Lovie Smith in March 2016, the Illini were able to land Underwood to lead the basketball program about 1 year after the Lovie hire. The volume of work that Josh did in his first 15 months, when you think about hiring new head coaches for the 2 biggest revenue generating sports teams in the program, was quite amazing.

2018年11月25日 · When one week you can get a team up and prepared to play like Saturday against NW (a few dropped passes caught and there's no telling what could have happened in that game) and a few weeks prior Iowa beats you 63-0, to me, that's all on the head coach.

Football Recruiting 2019: How do the Illini Stack Up?
2019年3月3日 · Before comparing the 2019 classes, I'd like to compare the combined classes of Tim Beckman (2013-2015) with Lovie Smith (2017-2019). To be fair, I'm excluding Beckman's first class which was shortly after he was hired. Over the three years compared, they each recruited 67 players. Smith had one player rated below 0.75, so does not appear on the ...
