Illinois: The Herald-Review notes a new coach will be named soon. Some potential names for the job include former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, New Orleans Saints special teams coordinator Greg McMahon, Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck, former Miami (FL) head coach Al Golden, Ohio State offensive coordinator Ed Warinner and Illinois State head coach Brock Spack.
It sounds like Lovie Smith is the choice, pending waiting period for official hire, etc. Multi year, massive rebuilding job. Wish him luck, seems like a classy man.
