[Run-the-ball]

So will he take Gillman with him?

The tweet from Illinois says...I kid you not....welcome to the famILLy......they put two L's in there for the two L's to the Cats!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yes I knownits ILL for Illinois but it makes it hilarious this way!

Was gonna watch basketball tonight, but I think I’m gonna get some popcorn and read egriz all night. They got played big time, although it’s similar to what Choate did. Choate came out and said he wasn’t leaving MSU and then a couple weeks later jumped ship to Texas. These coaches play the system as well. Honestly, college sports is pro now and nobody can be trusted.

Coach 7-8 will do wonders there. He's a winner.

Will he "Jimmy Rogers" them? Just saw they got two back on waivers, one was a LB, not sure about the other.

[CalgaryCat]

egris sure has some cult members who never think Hauck has done anything wrong. They’ll probably think him for taking some players with him when they transfer

[MSUcat44]

Please tell me that um didn't even get the buyout from Illinois.....LOL

[Cledus]

I guess I just can’t understand a different team seeing his 3-3-5 defense and being real excited.

He's a hell of a salesman. No doubt about that.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

Egriz is in full denial. It's making them feel better by saying that the job only came open this week. Lol!!! I'm sure the Illinois coach knew his coach was interviewing and negotiating so he started his own interviewing and negotiating . This all didn't happen in the last week.

Aaron Henry left on Feb. 1. Hauck retired on Feb. 4. Hauck hired Feb. 9. Yeah, it smells of Hauck already having the DC job.

I see they spell famiLLy the same way as grisLLies - looks like he’ll fit in great there.

If he not only burns their 2026 season by leaving in February, but also takes a different job and ends up taking good players with him, I will never stop laughing. They all have to bite their tongues because he's a living legend, but he screwed them on his way out the door. Feels personal.

Someone on gris nation pointed out "what good players". I say between 11 and 20 hit the portal.

It does feel personal, it's very personal I think. I bet Haslam is fit to be tied!
But seriously, how many "good" players are there that could play at the next level over there? Maybe the one that just got a waiver to play his 9th year is football!!!

You're way too high.

Now we know for certain his “retirement” was not health related.

I thought it was portal related.

So you’re saying he can’t be trusted?
