Article I read said 8.4 million but it could have been wrong.

It's kind of irrelevant now because he's gone, but Lovie is such an asshole in his own way. Could never give a shit about Illinois recruits, never felt like he owed anyone an explanation.
Our ESD had ZERO kids from Illinois. 0/14.
Lovie was all "I think I can I think I can" Little Engine That Could and that just doesn't cut it.

Lovie is an asshole. I remember when he was coaching the Bears in his last season. This was during the time a shitload of offensive coordinators were in demand & instead of him hiring a decent one ,he promoted Mike Tice from offensive line coach to offensive coordinator & when someone from the Chicago media asked why he didn't hire the coordinator Cutler wanted, Lovie went off by telling the reporter "I AIN'T GOT TIME TO BE HIRING SOMEONE NEW TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!!! WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!!!!"
Bears fired his ass after finishing 10-6 that season

Illinois hires Tony Peterson as OC. Prerfy disappointing considering Bielema asked and got a larger pool for assistants. Will make 750k up from 200 at App St. I've been pretty disappointed with the hires I was actually excited for so maybe this will be the inverse.

Petersen spent the 2020 season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Appalachian State, when the Mountaineers finished 9-3 overall with a 56-28 victory in the Myrtle Beach Bowl over North Texas on December 21. App State averaged 452 yards in total offense (26th in Football Bowl Subdivision), including 264.9 rushing yards (7th in FBS)
A homerun hire indeed

From what I read, he hired him based from this:
Petersen, 54, Petersen has directed offenses during his 30-year college coaching career at Marshall, Minnesota, Louisiana Tech, East Carolina and Appalachian State. However, it is a three-year period that Bielema references that led him to give Petersen this opportunity at Illinois.
From 2000-2006, Petersen worked under Minnesota head coach Glenn Mason as the co-offensive coordinator and passing game coordinator but was not the Gophers offensive play-caller. During his time working with the Minnesota passing attack, Petersen’s quarterback (Bryan Cupito) set the school's all-time career passing yardage mark of 7,446. During those seven seasons in Minneapolis, Bielema’s Wisconsin defenses had to face Petersen’s passing attack from 2004-2006 (04-05 with Bielema as a defensive coordinator and 2006 with Bielema as the Badgers head coach).

Find out if it was Glenn or Peterson who was the brains behind that offense. Which I thought was one of the most fun to watch during that time period. Mason just never figured out the defensive side of the ball. Top 5 offense, bottom 5 defense and 7-5 here we go!

It was VERY fun to watch. I recall one game in which they did some nice looking version of Black 41 Flash Reverse Pass that was pretty cool

I think Bielema is interested in what we can do with the run game. Isaiah Williams rushed for 192 yards in his first start vs Rutgers this year, breaking single game rushing yards for QB(previously set by Isiah Williams ironically). Doubt he will be lighting the world on fire with his arm. Only passed for 108 yds I think in the same game.
So obviously this doesn't account for Peters returning or the transfer portal, but IW is the best athlete we've had in years and the only reason we got him is cuz we committed to him playing QB when no one else would.

Probably the best for both parties. A guy with noted issues and one of the highest profile jobs can't be a good mix at this time.
I actually thought Sark would be a good fit for Illinois. Not a insane amount of pressure to win until year 4 or 5 or whatever they gave Lovie.
Lol at Texas

I cant believe Texas fired Herman. 7-3 with a new QB that looked good in the bowl. Sometimes programs just cant get out of their own way.
