@SamWebb77: Breaking: Greg Mattison Leaving Michigan for Ohio State... also according to @BillBankGreene, Greg Schiano is OUT at OSU - Breaking: Greg Mattison Leaving Michigan for Ohio State
Wow. That's a big move. Surprising.
I met Greg Mattison in 2007, he spoke to our Gator Club. I had drinks w/ him afterwards (he and his wife) and he was hilarious. He got hammered on Jack & Cokes.
When he left UF it was a financial thing (assistant's in CFB weren't making the big bucks back then - compared to now). I think he was making $250K, or no more than $300K, and was offered $500K to coach for the Ravens. He has a family relationship w/ the Harbaugh's so going to Michigan made sense. This is a curious move because I'm sure Urban tried to get him over to OSU and now he's going and Urban is out? Curious if this is a sign that Jim H may be on the move. Mattison was quoted when he left UF about not having a retirement plan and this was a good financial move for him and his wife. Since he left UF he's probably made more than $6 million in salary....and he's still coaching.
Curious what's up w/ Schiano. After the Tennessee debacle I imagine he may have issues landing somewhere in college (due to an uproar from sensitive students).
