What did we learn-Game 5 Illinois

I think, if they were going to fire him before the end of the season, they would have already. He might know this is his last year, but even if we lose out, he won't be gone before the last whistle of the regular season. 

Firing a coach right after after win? That's an insane move. No coaches would ever feel secure here if we did that.

I'm not hoping for it- but jeez he sounds so different from even last week, when the writing was also on the wall.  Again it's insane to think about-but it would not would surprise me.  It would be weird that Rimington would do the firing. But then again, maybe not.  I really have no idea...just baffled by the radical change of inflection.

I don't know.  He may not be feeling well. The flu is really going around. It's hard to be cheerful when you feel rotten. I really doubt they are going to fire him before the year is over.

Yeah I don't think he gets the boot, yet anyway. Maybe he is not feeling well or maybe we just got some inoportune sideline views but I would've liked to see him smile and show some happiness. It's a game, it's supposed to be fun. I am not going to take any joy if this is how it's going to be. I may feel we're ready for new leadership but I also really like and respect MR.

I feel bad for the dude.  Every time they showed him the last quarter it looked like someone had just kicked his dog.  It's a damn shame really.  I know he may not be as good, or as successful as we hoped, but hate to see anyone down like that.  Life is life after all.

I think he came here with good intentions and the pay raise didn't hurt... but you can't prepare someone for the microscope for which they will live under.

pre-game was terrible, too. 

 
It put us at 3-2??  :dunno

We beat Rutgers and Illinois??  :dunno

We are undefeated in B1G, bring on Penn State!  :corndance

 
I dont think we really learned anything in this game.  Illinois was a little worse than advertised and we did enough to make it a comfortable win.  Our program needed this win.  Our players needed this win.  Lee looks better against air than NIU defense.
