The University of Toledo will be looking for a new head football coach in the very near future.
I have two sources and now ESPN confirming Tim Beckman will indeed be taking the head coaching position at Illinois just months after signing an extension with UT through the 2015 season.
One source has told me that a player told him Beckman did not notify the players of anything related to his future today, but did say he had to leave immediately after practice to attend a funeral in Columbus.
The Champaign News-Gazette reports that a press conference could happen as early as tomorrow, meaning Beckman is likely already in the Champaign area.
All-American wide receiver for the Rockets, Eric Page, sent out this tweet: "You can't teach someone to be a man when you can't act like a man yourself.."
Beckman made $400,000 a year with the Rockets and is rumored to make upwards of $2 million per season with the Illini.
It's about to get real interesting in Toledo.
