In Sunday's News-Gazette, Serg made his case when asked what the Priority No. 1 for the Illini's next AD should be. His answer:

“Easy. Quit ignoring and hire me as the head coach of my alma mater. I truly bleed those colors. And if you feel there is inexperience — which there really isn’t because I’m my father’s son and have been taught the ropes; Illinois won conference ’ships when the McClains were in office and that’s a fact — put experience around me that I can trust, like you’re doing with Dee Brown in administration.
