Looking Back: The Hiring of Ron Guenther

This article is all sorts of funny foreshadowing of the ineptitude of Ron Guenther.

"What's hurt Illinois is that it can't build continuity into the program."

Well Ron, when you're giving away home games, scheduling games in St. Louis and Detroit, that is why we've been to only 5 bowl games in the 18 seasons since you took the job!

"This is a guy who's going to stay here for a long time."

At any other school, 81-126-2, combined with NCAA probation and WARRENYOUIDIOT gets you fired. Not at Illinois! Heck, it gets you a $600,000 annual salary.
