I think that's a mistake. We're talking Illinois football here. He has took them from the bottom of the B1G every year to bowl games almost every year. Rich Rod would've been interesting their with some Chicago talent. I think they should hire Mike Leach. When you don't have the best resources at your disposal, you have to do things a bit different than others. He would win there.
good recruiter but a terrible coach. just look back at this past years osu game and the says it all. nois did the right thing and i am sure if they get leach that would be huge for them.
Mike Leach would be great for the Big Ten! Butch Jones was hired at Cincy by the current AD at Illinois!
We might not see Mike Leach coaching again for a while after everything that went down at Texas Tech. I don't think many schools want to prod him with a stick right now, much less hire him to be their head coach.
