Illinois coach Tim Beckman returned to his Mid-American Conference roots by hiring Bill Cubit as his offensive coordinator. Cubit was fired last year as coach at Western Michigan after a 4-8 season.
Cubit replaces Chris Beatty and Bill Gonzales, who were co-coordinators last season and whose offense was last in the Big Ten in points per game (16.7) and total offense (296.7 yards a game). Beatty was fired earlier this month and Gonzales will stay at Illinois as receivers coach.
Beckman is looking for big improvement on both sides of the ball after a 2-10 season, including nine losses in a row after a 2-1 start. One of Illinois? victories was against Western Michigan.
? Notre Dame running back Cierre Wood said he is entering the NFL draft, deciding against returning for a final year of eligibility. Wood was second on the team with 742 yards rushing on 114 carries this past season.
He sat out the first two games of the season after being suspended by coach Brian Kelly for violating team rules.
? Temple defensive coordinator Chuck was hired for the same position at Marshall.
Heater replaces Chris Rippon, who resigned in November. Marshall allowed an average of 43 points a game during the 2012 season.
