hearing it should be announced tomorrow

If he is, i can see what coach Franklin is doing , by bringing in big 10 coaches with big10 experience.The experience and scouting they bring is invaluable.

Tim Banks would be solid. He has a lot of experience & has recruited Maryland and Virginia for the Illini.

 

[Nit Nolte]

Does he have a wife named Robin?

Banks is a Detroit MLK High School graduate. It may be a little late to help with Lavert Hill but there is nothing wrong with having an in with that high school or that area.

Horrible, horrible coordinator for Illinois.

Illinois didn't have very good talent. His defenses were good at Cincy and Central Michigan. He coached safeties at for the Illini and there pass defense wasn't bad.

Illinois? Lol..

His track record at real programs is what matters. Thanks for the chuckle Hawks. You win the most humorous and most inept attempt at trolling awards all in one post.

 

[PennStateNate]

Best part of him. He hasn't tweeted since July.

Explain yourself. Illinois managed to rank in the Top 15 in pass defense despite horrible, horrible talent.

 

[BoChops]

The first thought I had when I saw his resume includes Illinois was if he was one of the poachers on campus in 2012. I am willing to forgive a soldier under orders but would like to know.

He's just a troll that confused w-l with pass defense..

I had the same thought. Maybe we just have to let it go but that staff was the most visible (and least successful?) group of vultures circling our team

Hey, tOSU quickly forgave LJ for his Sandusky-enabling and dirty recruiting - we can forgive a poacher. He was just doing his job
