They kept showing him during the Maryland game and he looked like a man on the verge of a stroke multiple times. I said to my kids that man needs a break from the sidelines.

I loathe him as a man, but its tough to say that when he's had legitimate life threatening health issues.

I'm guessing this is half healthy related and half Ohio St. realizing they fucked up by not firing him and allowing him to now "step down". I don't think this has anything to do with his ability to win.



It has nothing to do with what happened over the summer


Ohh, well since you say so...

The 8 wins in 2017 and 8 this year (9 if they win the Bowl game) is the most for Iowa State since 2000. The last time they had a winning record before 2017 was 2009 and they hadn’t been to a Bowl game since 2012

I don’t think it’s a hard “you need to leave now”. But I think the fiasco made his life more difficult, added more scrutiny to his job, and wouldn’t surprise me at all if Ohio St walks him nicely out the door.

I don’t think they fired him. I think him leaving makes things easier and they won’t put up a fight about it.

It’s a fair point to make. He was never “long” for this job as he was not going to be a Paterno, Bowden, or even a Saban coaching into his late 60s. He’s just not built for it. I thought he’d go 9-10 seasons here. Speculation was he’d step down once his son went off to play college baseball so he could see him play more. That’s happening next year.

The health stuff with him is legitimate. I know it’s common fodder, believe me I understand it. If it were a different school I’d probably joke about it too. But it is legit and any time you’re talking about migraine/brain issues, that’s really affecting on the ability to do your job. So it was always going to force him out earlier than expected. His family is extremely tight so you know they see how it’s wearing on him and they’re probably pulling him in this direction too

I think the events over the summer probably only added to that stress, and potentially made him re-evaluate his status earlier than expected. He’s always been demonstrative on the sidelines but this season it was downright painful at times. So I think from that perspective, yeah the suspension did factor in.

But I think if the administration could hold onto him they would. As promising as Day is, he’s still an unknown. Urban, for all his flaws and there are many, is one of the two greatest coaches of this college era. They’d keep him forever if they could, truly believe that. This is all his call

Didn’t mean to shoot you down before uconn, it was a fair point

Much if the staff is staying, including Urban’s support staff guys that have been with him since Florida. That includes the director of recruiting Pantoni, who really is one of the “pioneers” of position in a college program. Does a ton of the leg work behind the scenes. That helps, but they’ll likely take a short term recruiting hit, it’s inevitable. At least until Day can prove himself

In this case, "running away" -- or better put, mutually agreeing to separate from Ohio State which does not want him anymore either -- is the right thing to do. Is there honor in stubbornly sitting through this scandal?

Just like Coach K

I think Kyle is right.. for now.  
crackerjack465 : 12/4/2018 10:06 am : link
I don't think he coaches again, but I'd say there is maybe a 20% chance he comes back at some point if there is a breakthrough one day with his condition.

I like Ryan Day though. Ohio State will still maintain a top recruiting class and even if Haskins leaves, that offense is still pretty potent with Dobbins and Tate Martell. The defense is gonna need to be retooled a bit.

Kyle in NY : 12/4/2018 10:37 am : link
He's always lived and died with the action during games. So it could not have been made any easier this season. He's got grandchildren now and a family likely asking him what else he has to prove as a coach. Ask me a year ago and I would have guessed maybe three more seasons. But I'm not shocked this ended up being it.

the Titans OC job and he had the chance to interview for some smaller college HC jobs. He was sought after and he did a really good job during the suspension this season. I think OSU is lucky here to have him to step in. Imagine if they had to give the job to Schiano? Yikes

Time will tell. And I'll be right here to eat the crow if he comes back. But I think this is it. Stoops walked away at a similar age and hasn't looked back. I know Urban took notice of the weight seemingly lifted off his shoulders upon retiring

He's one of the biggest scumbags in the sport. Go talk to high school coaches in Florida, they'll tell you some absurd stories. He is loathed down in that state.

Hey Jon, whats the rumblings regarding Coan/Hornibrook for next year? Coan is a local kid here on the Island and it was a head scratcher that he picked Madison due Hornibrook only being a year older and "starter" on paper.

Coan is already going to be a junior next year and essentially wasted two years of eligibility.

No rumblings per say, but it's almost certainly going to be an open competition. You have the best RB in the country, 4 first team Big Ten OL, and Horni ended the year with 4 straight games with multi picks. Can't win with him at this point. They have the no. 2 QB this class + RS Frosh Chase Wolf and Coan, so it'll be a 4 way race.

Coan also will use his RS this year since he's only played in 4 games and Horni should start the bowl, so he should have 3 years left if he wins the job.
I can see this
