If they get him, Beckman will be fired. If they cant get him, Beckman will stay for at least another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, that would be about the best possible move for both parties. Illinois isn't going to find a football coach of that level who wants to come to their campus. Their best other hope is to pray they can fish the next second tier coach out of obscurity who can replicate his success at Illinois. Tressel would be a godsend for the Illini.

Progress reports every 6 months and 5 game suspension of the head coach. He can still recruit, assemble a staff and do pretty much what every head coach does. Its not like Pearl where he was done recruiting for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a steal when you consider that any coach is going to be a waste the first year or two anyway as they clean up Beckham and Zook's messes.

I thought the hiring school still had to somehow "show cause" in order to justify the hiring, which is how that coach-specific penalty got its name? I would also think that having successively hired and suffered through Zook and Beckman, Illinois could probably satisfy any applicable threshold.
