go see what they are saying about this hire on phog.net. I dare you. ex:
"To summarize, I was laughing hysterically at Kansas State willing themselves to get pounded by KU every season. Weber without Self's recruits was the worst coach at Illinois in 3.5 decades, worse than an aging Lou Henson post-NCAA probation gutting his program. I've hated Weber for years. I always give a coach a chance, but it was clear by 2006 that disaster was ahead of the Illini program. Yet our idiotic AD - who was unceremoniously "retired" last summer - kept letting Weber further piledrive the program. Apparently the KSU AD is even dumber. You guys just received a gift from God."
