Illinois

That's a sneaky good hire by Illinois, Underwood can coach and was there for the taking.

That's not even sneaky good.

That's a great hire by all measures.

Didn't think they would get a hire of that caliber. Big get for the Big 10.

I live down in Dallas now, and work with a handful of OSU alums. They assumed that an extension would get done quickly after their season ended.

That's a crazy good hire.  Really would have told you, that you were nuts if you told me that would happen.

Surprised they were able to pull him away after only one year there. Plus reports are in that OK St. learned about it on Twitter. I'd be pissed.

T. Boone is pissed right now.

Ok St only paying him $1MM

Interesting article foreshadowing that something like this could happen.

Not even their 7th choice.    Nice grab.

Wait ... I missed it ... Frank Underwood gave up being president of the United States to coach the Illini? Wow!
