Illinois football head coach Bret Bielema announced a new member of his coaching staff on Monday night.
The offensive coordinator position has now been filled by Tony Petersen. Coming from Appalachian State, where the offense averaged 32.2 points per game, Petersen brings a ton of experience to the table. This hire should help the Illinois offense get off the ground.
