The guy has had a lot of success in the conference and turned us around in two seasons. We lost a ton of NFL caliber talent such as our QB, RB, and entire defensive backfield. This was going to be a down year no matter what and I was hoping for 6-6 going into the season.
A program like Illinois in its third season under a new coach just can’t lose a bunch of pros at critical positions and keep on like nothing happened.
Along with the shockingly poor O line play, the lack of discipline and mental mistakes are the most concerning thing. I would have thought by year three maybe more of his own recruits would be making an impact or at least playing. But still, saying he sucks is pure meatball nonsense.
He sucked ass at Arkansas. He's won 3 games since November last year. He lost to Purdue, twice, MSU, and Nebraska, three currently crap programs, in that time. He's beaten NU, Toledo, and Florida Atlantic. Not murderers' row.
Your last paragraph is what is most concerning. This is year 3. What the fuck has he been doing besides coaching up Lovie's guys? Where are his guys? Who redshirts guys anymore with the portal? Why didn't he use the portal to bring in linemen? Where is the discipline? This is Lovie Bad without Lovie's Kids as Coaches to blame. Is he going to talk to Lunney again? Lunney is going up tempo against the wind instead of ball control after the D was on the field forever? Why is he letting him do that? This has been a dumpster fire since last November.
He's lucky Eberlose has been terrible during that same timeframe.
