In a move that came completely out of left field, Illinois announced they are letting go recently extended HC Bill Cubit and his son Ryan.
Josh Whitman is having himself one hell of a Saturday morning. After quietly giving basketball coach John Groce a vote on confidence on the radio, Illinois sends out a press release announcing the immediate release of head football coach Bill Cubit and offensive coordinator Ryan Cubit, who happens to be his son. The rest of the coaching staff will be allowed to interview with the new coach to potentially keep their jobs.
This is a hell of a lot to process right now.
