Title: University Fires Head Football Coach Week Before Season Opens Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 28, 2015, 02:17:15 PM Wow. At least they didn't hire Mike Shula.
Quote Illinois fired football coach Tim Beckman on Friday. FootballScoop.com first reported the news, followed by FoxSports.com's Bruce Feldman. The University of Illinois then released a statement saying atheltics director Mike Thomas dismissed Beckman after the preliminary results of an external review into allegations involving the program. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/illinois-fires-tim-beckman-week-before-opener/ar-BBmcjy7 :behave: Title: Re: University Fires Head Football Coach Week Before Season Opens Post by: N.AL-Tider on August 28, 2015, 02:21:15 PM Ouch! I guess the AD is wanting to get a jump on the coaching carousel for this year? ;D

Title: Re: University Fires Head Football Coach Week Before Season Opens Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 28, 2015, 07:38:45 PM That external investigative report must have been very damning. :unsure: He had zero support. Apparently, he was a total jerk. Quote Beckman was like Head Football Coach Jar-Jar Binks. He was clumsy, with every step a misstep, every word something he shouldn't have said. Like Jar-Jar, he had a toothless grin and a booming voice that he apparently didn't understand how to modulate, and everybody who cared about the franchise he was associated with wished he had never been there. His failings would have been cute, except he was also an enormous jerk. Beckman allegedly lied to players about injuries. Beckman was Head Football Coach Jar-Jar Binks, if Jar-Jar Binks had a side job murdering puppies. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/8/28/9221945/tim-beckman-fired-illinois-football-coach |
