Art Sitkowski sighting on Illinois sideline

[RUbot]

Watching some of the Illinois Mich. State Game. They just showed the Illinois QB coming off the field after a play and I saw Art congratulating him as he came back to the sidelines. Hadn't realized he was a coach for Illinois... or maybe some kind of Grad assistant?

I’ve had some HS coaches tell me he’s a solid recruiter and they think he will be a very good coach

He was always a good guy, and I could see him succeeding.

I remember an interview from when he played here. Definitely a polished energetic speaker. I could see him doing well in recruiting.

...like Scott Frost potential as a coach, but with more personality ??

and no baggage or issues.
Steve Sarkisian 2.0 at Texas did well after he crashed and burned with personal problems in his first rodeo.
Maybe Scott Frost gets another chance and does OK. Maybe not.
