    Default Illinois fires head coach Tim Beckman with cause after review

    SI.com's Thayer Evans earlier reported news of Beckman’s dismissal. Beckman will not receive the $3.1 million remaining on the last two years of his original five-year contract or his $743,000 buyout. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit has been named interim head coach for the 2015 season.

    Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas said in a statement that during a preliminary briefing from the external reviewers, he learned of “efforts to deter injury reporting and influence medical decisions that pressured players to avoid or postpone medical treatment and continue playing despite injuries.”

    Didn't expect it to happen this quickly, but Beckman was toast sometime this season anyway.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    I'll bet that's not the sole reason he was fired. Something worse is bound to leak out eventually.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    I don't know man, you'd have to be pretty successful to keep your job after something that, and even then there would be a firestorm.
