News was broke today by Bob Asmussen of The News-Gazette that Illinois’ inside linebackers coach Mike Ward has decided to leave the program. It is not reported where Ward will go but this leaves another coaching spot empty on the Illinois staff.
Ward makes the second coach to leave the program this week. Special teams coordinator Alex Golesh also left for Iowa State.
How does this look for Bill Cubit?
Cubit gets hired in for the full-time gig and coaches are leaving as well as a few players. Is it time to panic a little bit?
