What an amazing coach. Glad he was part of the Illini and brought us back after Henson left. Happy he got to go out on his own terms. Most don’t.

Helluva coach. I recall being at United Center watching the Heldman team beat Clemson in 1997. That team was one of best coached teams I ever saw.

Give him a call if Underwood moves on. He's got some unfinished business here.

The man won the B1G with Kevin Turner and Jerry Hester as our best players with a former walkon playing the 4.

“Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a statement. ‘He won with integrity, humility, class and grace. He did it with superior leadership skills and a genuine kindness that included his constant encouragement of everyone around him.’"

I think he's a teetotaler, like Jim Edgar. That's why they both needed open heart surgery.
