Illinois fires Ron Zook

Illinois fired head coach Ron Zook after seven seasons. He compiled a 34-50 record with two bowl appearances. The Illini will also earn a bowl bid this season. This season started with much promise after a 6-0 start. Illinois went on to lose the final six games of the regular season, culminating with a blowout loss to Minnesota who had previously win only twice. Ron Zook did bring the Illini to a Rose Bowl, but was too inconsistent and just didn't win enough games. Upgrading Paul Petrino from offensive coordinator might be an option, or the Illini might go with a clean slate.
