DeLoss Dodds, Texas - Fall 1981 - present

Gene Bleymaier, Boise State - February 1982-present

Chris Hill, Utah - October 1987 - present

Jeremy Foley, Florida - March 1992 - present

Ron Guenther, Illinois - May 14, 1992 - present

 

Somebody doesn't fit here Ron.

 

(To be fair, Wake Forest and Purdue are next on the list.)

Now things are opening up for Illinois to make an inspired hire like Ty Willingham.

I think if you were to look at the overall impact of Guenther on the entire athletic program then he has done a fair job. They have had a huge amount of positive facility upgrades in his tenure. I understand the negatives, but I don't think it was beyond belief that he still had a job.

Who needs to go more - Zook or Weber?

Probably Zook. This should certainly put them both on the hot seat for the coming seasons.

It's Weber. Zook inherited a mess and has improved it a bit. Weber took over a great situation and has wrecked it.

a successful football program is more important than a successful basketball program, though.

That's true, but I am at least optimistic to see what we can do with these new assistants helping Zook. Ideal world they are both gone.
