Might be the next U of I head football coach. Oh my God. Lovie would ruin two of my favorite football teams. I have a feeling that this is the next coming of Lou Tepper.

For real? Comparing a former Super Bowl head coach to Lou Tepper?
Home run hire for the Illini.

Lovie is playing a defense that is out of date. A cover 2 is no good in college. He need great talent especially in safeties. Plus Lovie never coached on college level and wants to put his sons on staff. Heck yeah I have a problem with it. At least Pete Carroll was a snake salesman. Lovie isn't like that.

OP, thanks for this thread!!! There already was one made, but that's a fairly honest mistake. Good job, and keep up the good work!

He actually HAS coached at college. Not really relevant, but your post is inaccurate.

Snake OIL salesman, not snake salesman.

If you really feel Lou Tepper is Lovie's equivalent, you are alone.

Do I expect a National Championship? No.

Would hiring Lovie Smith be a home run hire for a football program with as much negative in recent years as Illinois has had? Hell, yes!

This really isn't much of a rumor at this point. It's assumed that he is busy getting his staff together.

You should think about not being an asshole to posters.
