Breaking : Tim Spencer is making a move back to the college ranks, reuniting with Lovie Smith at Illinois.
Given his long coaching history with Smith—both with the Bears and Buccaneers—this transition makes a lot of sense. Spencer’s experience at Ohio State as a player and coach should help him on the recruiting trail as well.
Hardy Nickerson joining as defensive coordinator is another notable move, as he also has strong ties to Smith from their time together in Tampa Bay. Illinois is clearly looking to bring in familiar faces to establish stability and direction under Smith.
Are you particularly interested in Spencer, Illinois football, or just coaching moves in general?
