How would you like to be AD Goetz right now? She has the Barta created contract mess with Brian's contract and if enacted with a dismissal or demotion, how will Coach Arrogance take it? We are going to see her mettle real early.

I'd hate her job but not because of any couching changes. I'd hate the fundraising and paperwork she has to do. Working with the athletic department and texashawk would be great. I'm the supervisor of a department and i hate paperwork and politics of being in charge. I still go work on the floor a few hours everyday. AG's get paid well because it's a tough job and not many can be as good as the one we have now.

I think Brian was going to be gone regardless at the end of the year imo. Makes her job a lot easier than having to fire him.

I also think this will be Fran's last year as well.

Yeah I'm not sure how there's any way Brian could return next year no matter what happens the rest of this year. But I would have thought that after 21 and 22, and here we are.

Yeah, if Goetz is named the permanent AD she likely will have to hire new football and men's basketball coaches in the next 3-5 years. And Bluder is 62, Heller is either 60 or close to it. Hopefully both of them want to keep coaching.

The football issue is going to be a longer one to unwind. There are some foundational issues with the offense that don't get fixed overnight.

I agree with you except for Fran being gone. He's got the best recruiting class he's had since starting here imo. Next year with 2 more extremely talented kids coming in Fran finally has a full lineup of quality players in every position. 3 or 4 years is my guess.

I've followed the 2 Illinois kids for all of last year. They are both going to be good ones. A little bit like Gessel and Woodbury but better. They already have great chemistry being teammates
