Lovie Smith has been a football coach at various levels of the game since 1980, most notably with the Chicago Bears. Ever since 2016, Lovie has been the head coach of the University of Illinois’ football team.
For most of that time, Smith has been bald and clean-shaven, but changed that in 2019 when he suddenly grew out a huge White beard.
That beard stayed in place until 2020 when the Illinois Football Twitter account posted a photo of Lovie with a clean shaven face.
Hopefully, his new look can change the fortunes of Illinois going forward. Smith’s overall record is 15 – 34 in 4 years with the program.
