Clueless observation
I said nothing about drama queen, you do come across as easily excited though now that you mention it.

It would be incredibly foolish to hire a high profile coach like Lovie if you're not going to give him time to turn the program around.
Imagine being the Bears and all the top college players want to go to New England, GB, Philly or Pittsburgh. Then the next group wants to go to Denver or San Diego or something close to competing. Nobody wants to come here because we were 14-34 the last few years and sucked, so you don't get to start selecting the players you want until the 3rd or 4th round. You can't be expected to compete under these circumstances just because they're your picks. It's going to take time. If the directors in Champaign don't understand that, they're in the wrong gig. I doubt Lovie is going any time soon.

Certainly someone would know better than I, but didn't he start the most freshmen last year of any program in the country? On both sides of the ball?

No one even wants the Illinois job. If they get rid of Lovie, who are they going to replace him with? Rick Renteria?

Yep. And is still starting the most underclassmen of any team in the country.
Horrible thread.
Recruiting at a non traditional power house takes time to build. His first two classes were train wrecks with no relationships built up. It is getting better but a long way to go. Lovie is not on a hot seat.

Interesting how some of you will show patience with Lovie at Illinois but had little for Pace with the Bears.

Not sure why his salary has anything to do with this? College coaches get PAID.

It's the CCS double standard at play. A lot of these people talk out their asses and mouths at the same time.

So I decided to take you up on this, because apparently you're Brett Jr. Here's CBS (not really known for their college football coverage)
https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...er-jim-harbaugh-head-in-different-directions/
You'll notice that the author of this piece says any hot seat is "cooling off."
Here's Yahoo, again not a publication that really pays attention to college football. Surprisingly, Lovie is not listed.

Here's Forbes Magazine, the nation's #1 provider for NCAA content, agreeing with warden.

Not true at all. Plenty of shit college coaches that are millionaires. It's just big business.
