Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Heff picked me up from Ohare with nothing but one bag and having never even been in state let alone campus. A lot of happy times and a lot sad times in those years but Heff has always was there for me. ESPECIALLY off the mat. Congrats!
After 29 years with the Illini wrestling program, Jim Heffernan is announcing his retirement.
Congratulations Coach Heff, and thank you for everything you have done for our program and the Fighting Illini wrestling community.
Thank you to everyone who watched and sent all the kind words yesterday. HUGE thank you to

Steve, please consider that we WILL pay for your train ticket out here and housing will be taken care of as I have a very comfortable couch. As for food our weight room is stocked full with bars and chocolate milk. Please reconsider
