Former Illini coach, Bill Cubit, who took over for the fired Tim Beckman in 2015 , was actually doing pretty well. He recruited RB Epstein and was starting to establish a White-friendly and competitive team, but the AD was not going to have any of that, so he was canned and is now relegated to the history books. He was 5-6 when he was let go (after one year), which is not bad considering the programs's history prior to that...but the leash is short for White men at any position, including the coaching ranks.
Too bad we never got a chance to see what he could do. He was recruiting overlooked (of course) White kids in Illinois that often win out at their respective high schools. Now almost all of them will no longer get a chance as Hatie and the AD look to establish a program that is 100% diverse.
