CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Former Ball State coach
Mike Neu has joined Illinois’ staff as a senior offensive
assistant.
Illinois coach Bret Bielema announced the hire Thursday.
Neu went 40-63 at Ball State from 2016-24. He was fired in
November, when Ball State had a 3-7 record with two games
remaining in its season.
His 2020 Ball State team won a Mid-American Conference title and
beat San Jose State in the Arizona Bowl, the first bowl victory
in school history. That team finished 23rd in The Associated
Press Top 25.
Neu previously worked as a quarterbacks coach for Tulane
(2012-13) and the New Orleans Saints (2014-15).
