FIRED: Illinois football coach Tim Beckman. #HeGone!
- Thread starter ChiTownLion
- Start date
Me thinks the IU "brain trust" has been looking desperately for a reason to fire him with cause so that they could cut the cord and not be on the hook for any $$$.
It's not goode, it's gud !Let's get some class on this bored!
This is such great news, every respondent in this thread gets a "like" from me.

Knew this was coming, just a matter of the timing.
The athletic history at the U of I is almost as pathetic as the history of state government in Illinois.

epic twitter trolling from Akeem Spence (former Illinois DT):
Illinois just got better!!! #Illinois
Illinois just got better!!! #Illinois
Does anyone know what Buck Tooth Boekman tweeted just hours before he was fired?
Happy day. I'm going to start a new trending Twitter hashtag:

It would be wholly appropriate for PSU to recruit IU's 2016 commits, but on further reflection, there's nothing worth targeting. Justice delayed, I suppose. Don't you just hate when that happens?

Rutgers will be all over it. They are waiting for Jersey Jim Delany to pile on and let them take over the limit ......"for the kids".

I had to respond just to get a 'like' from Peetz Pool Boy......
He is the 4th Illini coach in a row to be fired...Tepper, Turner, Zook, and now Beckmann. Who's next?
So, our brethren at Illinois are in the market for a new university chancellor, a new provost, a new football coach and probably, in due course, a new athletic director. A bit of a leadership void in Urbana-Champaign.

So who takes over? Someone that has been on the staff and witnessed these transgressions? How could they be allowed to takeover? Perhaps someone on the staff that turned in Becky and helped expose what was going on. That's about the only way an assistant could be installed as coach and have any credibility. Otherwise, its just more of the same. Is there any evidence an assistant helped get rid of Becky and clean house?
