In a move that really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, Illinois has officially announced that offensive line coach Tom Brattan will not be retained. The news was first reported by Football Scoop on Tuesday afternoon.
Brattan, who was hired by Tim Beckman during the Summer of 2014, spent two years with the program. Prior to joining the Illini, he spent stints at Maryland (2001-2013), Stanford (1999-2000), and Northwestern (1992-1998). Since 2001, Brattan helped produce seven NFL lineman, but none of them came during his time in Champaign.
Bill Cubit will presumably begin a search for a replacement immediately.
