Illinois remains off the rails after a 23-point loss against Minnesota on Saturday.
This week, Lovie Smith started off his weekly presser with his usual, “Of course, disappointing. Sometimes we just don’t have it, for whatever reason. Just didn’t play well.”
Well there was a reason the Illini didn’t have it, and that reason is poor coaching. And no Illinois fan is sure how this team can improve while Lovie Smith remains the head coach.
But Smith isn’t the only coach that needs work. Offensive coordinator Rod Smith took responsibility by saying he thought the Illini were ready for Minnesota.
