    Illinois shit cans yet another football coach
    Illinois fires head coach Bill Cubit


    Illinois fired HC Bill Cubit.

    Cubit's firing comes out of left field a bit, as he had just signed a two-year extension in late November. He infamously took over as interim head coach just a week before the start of the 2015 season, replacing Tim Beckman (who was jettisoned due to allegations of player misconduct). While the Illini started out strong against a weak schedule, they couldn't maintain their momentum and ultimately finished the 2015 campaign with a 5-7 record--just 2-6 in conference. In a statement, AD Josh Whitman said, "Bill is a good man and a good football coach. All of us in the Illini Nation owe him a debt of gratitude for his work leading our team these last months." Whitman indicated that the program was searching for some level of consistency. Spring practice--which had been set for March 11--will be delayed until Whitman and company can secure a replacement for Cubit.

            Lovie Smith seems like a pretty big get. Seems like a weird choice for him though. College doesn't seem like a fit.

                It's Lovie Smith. He was out of a job, but wouldn't have thought he was desperate.

                The former Bears and Bucs coach hasn't worked at the college level in a couple decades, but he's won a bunch of games in this state.

                    Well he's been fired twice...so I would say he's sort of desperate

                      Sounds like the AD should be fired immediately

                        For you guys who obviously know nothing about how things work in College Football, Smith was a done deal BEFORE Cubit was fired. Do any of you have the slightest clue?
