Illinois hires Tim Beckman

Illinois announced Tim Beckman as its new head coach. He was 21-16 in three seasons at Toledo with two bowl games. He may want to keep the Illini defensive coordinator around since Beckman's team gave up 126 points in two weeks while the Illini only gave up 241 points in the entire season. I think Backman is a good coach, but it's a little disconcerting that he never coached in the MAC Championship Game. With the large amount of coaching turnover, it appears more teams are rolling the dice with less proven head coaches.
