Opposing coaches - Illinois

Wow. Not alot to choose from there. I guess I'd go with Bert. Zook was a pretty good recruiter, but couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. ( The George Raveling of Illinois football). I think Lovie was a father figure, but pretty meh... at coaching at the college level and building a staff. Beckman, pfff.. I guess Bert wins by default.....
Yeah, I'm looking at the ones who've had at least 4 coaches. Some seem pretty obvious but Fleck drew no votes despite having the best record. Too bad there's not a rank option, that might be a bit more interesting.
what about him? We're talking HCs. Boilers are up next! Place your vote!

I know. Tough vote for Illinois. I’ll vote Brohm for Purdue until Walter’s wins. He will be better I believe, but until I see it.
Zook went to a Rose Bowl with Illinois. None of the other three have.
That’s exactly why I voted Zook. He’s was able to recruit well enough to get Illinois to a Rose Bowl. Until Bert can do something similar, he’s behind Zook in my opinion.
I don't know how Bert survives past this season, but maybe he will surprise.
Not sure who they would get to come coach there? Maybe from the Big 12 like a Gundy or Campbell or Aranda?

Looking at their schedule i would predict at best 6 - 6 this season.
