GP1 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 This is a good move for MT and for Illinois. Opportunism is rampant in college athletics and MT has always showed good timing. He had access to the right football coach at the right time at Cincy and the program/Athletic Department did really well. The future isn't as bright for Cincy football now so it's time to get out. Six years is enough at a school anyhow. It isn't a knock, it's just the way things are in college athletics. Illinois has underachieved in football in recent years. It's one of those schools that can do better and maybe they see MT as the guy to do that. I think he'll make an impact there sooner rather than later.

GP1 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I just saw Zook's re'sume' posted on Monster.com...the writing is on the wall... Are you kidding me? This guy has stolen enough money in his coaching career that he probably never has to work again. Honestly, I didn't even know he was still the coach. I just figured they would have fired him long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
