Thoughts? Could it happen?

If Holtz wanted it, I think he can get it. I think Holtz probably interviews well and is likeable in the coaching world.

I know it's gonna be tougher recruiting up there vs the South with hot beds of talent in LA and TX.

The problem is, Illinois is traditionally a grave yard for coaches.

His name was mentioned as a space filler. He's not even in the same league as most of the others mentioned. A program builder?

Mississippi State fans appear to really want Bill Clark on their board. 2 of the guys listed run the option. Would a Big 10 team run the option in this day and age?
