My gut tells me the linebacker coach job is done. Probably going to wait to announce all three together, though.
I highly doubt that the interim guys are hired as permanent coaches. That would be a PR nightmare and certainly not the right move for this program.
Some will say it sounds like sour grapes, but I don't think Illinois tried too hard to retain Thad Ward.
Lovie plays his hires close to the vest, so no more intel than this right now. There's no official word from the school on when to expect an announcement.
