The pressure mounts for Illinois to land a new head coach and all signs say Sumlin
He is 35-17 at Houston and has a great offensive mind. Sumlin was once the special teams coordinator at OU before he became a Offensive Coach. He can fix many things at Illinois.
Ron Zook did not leave the cabinets bare for this new coach and with the right coaching they could be putting up some major points on the board in future games. This will fill the seats because the new AD knows his job is to fill seats and win games.
The real key to this puzzle will be if Illnois can keep Defense Coach Koening who has revitalized this defense to a number 8 ranking. Koening didn't sound to promising to stay in his press conference and has several opportunities that he can have.
All I know is that this would be a big grab for Illinois and with the horses in the barn there is no reason he cannot make Illinois a solid football program.
