I really don't understand all the hostility towards Becks at illinois via that comment section? I go to Toledo and can honestly say I was uset that he left because he was by far the best coach we have had in the 14 years or so since I started following football (granted that covers the Pinkel, Toledo Tom, Becks and now Campbell) Becks was the best recruiter the Mac has ever seen hands down (4 4* in 3 years) the 2011 class would have ranked 5th in the big 10 alone! His defense is iffy but amstutz kind of left him with shit and I personally feel Mike Ward was GERG jr. They ran a base nickle the whole time at Toledo and couldn't stop the spread for the life of them but handled pro style fairly well. I think Becks will have plenty of success at Illinois but that fan base has to realize they aren't going to hire a Nick Saban but maybe Becks is the next best thing.
