Illini head coach Bill Cubit appears to have completed his 2016 coaching staff.

After several staff members were let go following the 2015 season, head coach Bill Cubit had some coaching vacancies to fill. After today's report from the News-Gazette, it appears he has filled all of them.

A source close to the program told The News-Gazette today that Tim McGarigle will coach linebackers and Paul Williams will handle the defensive backs.
