The Illinois Fighting Illini football program is welcoming two new faces to their coaching staff.

The team announced they are bringing on Myers Hendrickson as a senior analyst.

"I'm extremely excited to join Coach Bielema's staff and Illinois football," Hendrickson said. "I'm grateful for this opportunity to work with such an outstanding staff and group of student-athletes. It's an exciting time for Illini football, and I know more big things are ahead for this program under Coach Bielema's leadership. My wife, Hannah, our daughter, Charlotte, and I are excited to be in Champaign and join the famILLy."

Myers is joining the Illini family following a tenure as the head coach of Western Illinois. Coach Bret Bielema congratulated Hendrickson on the position, writing, "I have watched Myers entire coaching career continue to grow over the years," Bielema said. "He has had an incredible amount of success and experiences in a very short window of time. He will work with our defensive staff to forecast future opponents as well as game week prep."

Dad coached at Iowa when Bielema played, looks like he’s doing dad a favor, tough break for the Illini

Come on dude, he's a Western graduate. I think it's a great outcome for both sides.

Agreed. He didn’t work out for us but I have no ill will towards his career getting back on track. I just dislike U of Illinois football though. Ha.

Unless I am mistaken, Hendrickson's salary from the University of Illinois will help offset what is contractually owed to him by his previous employer ;)

Grew up an Illini fan. Taking me a while to warm up to Bielema. He was a total ASS when he played and was a G.A at TOE (Team Out East)
