If Illinois hires Lovie: Pro: First black HC for Illinois
football, Super Bowl coach, high integrity person, high winning percentage with
Chicago Bears, was fired after 10-6 season. Con: No meaningful college
experience; no network built up with high schools around Illinois or beyond;
wasted Jay Cutler's talent and struggled on offense after Ron Turner left; "runs off the bus" offense out of sync with spreads these days in high school and college; fired Ron
Rivera, now Carolina Panther HC, over petty jealousy; and worst ding on Smith:
offended Chicago media with his smug, slick, opaque, holier-than-thou answers.
His honeymoon with Chicago media would last about 30 minutes. By the way, if Bill Cubit was fired for hiring his son as OC, it's fair to point out that Lovie had his son, Mikael, as a safeties coach for the Bucs.
