I think Kyle is right.. for now.

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.
Pretty sure hes

Only leaving due to the tumor in his head that's inoperable
Just to clarify

It's a cyst on his brain that causes severe headaches. Let's not go overboard. The guy doesn't have brain cancer. It's a quality of life matter, but it's not life threatening

But stresses of job effects it
No doubt

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.
I think Day  
Pete in MD : 12/4/2018 10:38 am : link
was getting some offers to interview. The fact that he turned them down was telling that he is next in line for OSU’s HC.

He's only 54. I'd be shocked if he doesn't coach again elsewhere.
Vrabel had offered him  
Kyle in NY : 12/4/2018 10:40 am : link
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’ Not running away  
Beer Man : 12/4/2018 11:31 am : link
It was mentioned during the Michigan game that he was considering retirement due to extreme migraines that only get worse when he gets all amped up walking the sidelines

Hey asshole, I worked for the guy for three years. I’m not even really defending him, I’m just just sharing what I know on the situation. If it’s not welcome and we just want to continue on speculating, that’s fine. Carry on


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.

He also had heart problems at Florida that conveniently lined up with all the skeletons about to come out of the closet..

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.

for like 2 weeks. It was awful.
some program  
BigBlueCane : 12/4/2018 12:21 pm : link
that is desperate to win an NC, will give him control again.

it's the nature of the CFB business at this point.

Day is going to be the real deal. OSU is playing this very smart promoting him and not going outside the program. Those are big footprints to fill but I think Day will keep the Buckeye train on the tracks...

Thanks, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.

I think Shaw could flip back. Supposedly he was about to when the Urban stuff was happening to start the year.

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

USC FINALLY fires Clay Helton after another disappointing season in 2019 and Urban Meyer is the new USC coach. Sounds plausible.
Either USC or FSU  
BigBlueCane : 12/8/2018 12:44 pm : link
will go after Meyer. That is unless the Seminoles hire Art Briles son, Kendal as OC.
