I can't imagine they would fire Beckman after one year. I can see Doeren interviewing for the Purdue job if it opens though. Could also see him as a candidate at BC assuming Spaz is shitcanned.

Any News if Matt Canada has been fired yet? ... ...was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?...

There is some back chatter indicating that Doeren may have already agreed in principle to an unofficial offer. That would add a little to the Purdue/UW rivalry. Maybe NIU would look at Canada. The Gophers, with a few occasional hiccups, were truly dominant basically from their inception all the way through the end of Bierman's first tenure (1941). Other than the 1961 and 1967 seasons, they've been more or less the same every year since 1941 - mediocre-to-poor. Since 1967, the Gophers have finished 3rd in the Big Ten three times. Of course, they've never finished 1st or 2nd in that time frame.

Illinois would quite possibly fire Beckman if they were not already paying buy-outs to Zook, Bruce Weber, the former women's BB coach, and the former AD - no $ in Champaign to pony up for yet another buy-out.

There is some back chatter indicating that Doeren may have already agreed in principle to an unofficial offer. I believe it. I can see Doeren being announced after the MAC championship game this weekend. Supposedly NC State is after James Franklin, Vandy's coach. Like Purdue, I would think NCSU has a very strong lead on a replacement as they both just fired decent, but lackluster, coaches. The safe move for both schools would have been to hold onto Hope and O'Brien.

BadgerRoy	Why not Illinois	#11	[url]	[-]
Posts: 2269 November 25, 2012 4:51 PM	If you were AD at Illinois, why would you NOT consider a firing? They were horrible If we can fire an OL coach after 2 games they can fire a head coach after an embarrassing season If I were at Illinois I would be all over Doeren and would give strong consideration to Tressel if he wanted to get back into coaching. Hell, Mike Leach at Illinois would concern me immensely Making your brain your best friend. * Concussion Management * Cognitive Development * Mental performance training *

They fired their men's and women's b-ball coaches and are paying them a combined $4.5 million to not coach in Champaign. Beckman is owed ~$7.5 million...he's not going anywhere. Markuson was getting paid $255k/year

Franklin's one more decent year at Vandy (he could fall back a little bit even) from being able to write his ticket to a lot better gigs than NCSt. Unless he's been told that there is some real heft behind the rumors of the partitioning of the VA and NC schools between the B1G and the SEC

Umm, that would be a very serious problem for Illinois, they desperatly need to build a Kohl Center type facility to maximize BB revenue potential (and make a hockey add) and that ain't happening without big booster checks.

The reality is that he wasn't the one that recruited the group of quarterbacks that he had to work with.
