Probably sick of all of the demented OSU fans and their rabid behavior. UF fans are tough, but I am pretty sure that the majority of our fans would not be trying to run a coach out of town that has a 70-10 record. I could see Day stepping away to pursue something else.....after the NC game he should have told the OSU fans to suck it and let them go get Marcus Freeman , who is a Buckeye alumnus.

Chip Kelly got 6 million a year to go from Columbus to Vegas and get back to the NFL.
Leaving College for the NFL after a brilliant season and a $4 million raise is not lateral.

I would not blame a Napier assistant for a true lateral move after his recent Co DC decision.

if we were just talking about chip kelly not an issue, but tOSU has lost quite a few assistants for the same positions, mostly staying in NCAA football.

I will tell you that the locals haven't liked Knowles since the beginning. The defense just hasn't been the same since Urban left. Even though the stats have improved last year, it just seems like in the big games the defense always folds at the end.

Not sure why anyone would pay a lot for him.

Compared to the dipsh!ts we’ve had running our defense for the past decade, he looks like Buddy Ryan

I am not a Chip guy but anything is an upgrade from this jibberish I just stumbled upon.

Napier appeared on the “Gators Breakdown” YouTube channel for an exclusive interview. Amid a bunch of requisite questions, he was confronted about how his role as the primary play-caller is a conversation that crops up every off-season. When asked why his taking on this responsibility was the “best move” and what gave him “conviction” about it, Billy Napier stood his ground. “I think the big thing is it helps us from an identity standpoint as a team,” he said. Napier proceeded to imply how being a head coach means he’s naturally got a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t than anybody in the program.

Coach speak. He just said the quiet part, that he does not listen to his staff.

Joe Namath, Brian Sipe and Warren moon? :lol:
Namath is the most interesting name on that list. It seemed unusual to me that he had a 4K season due to when he played and due to his lack of talent as a QB. So I did a little research and learned his 4K season was in 1967 - a 14 game season mind you - and he did it completing only 52% of his passes. Considering the play calling of that era, and that he threw more picks than TDs, it's amazing how many pass plays they called. Crazy stat from a game against the Oilers that season: 27/49, 295 yds, 1TD, 6 ints. In today's game I can't imagine a 6 int game ending in anything other than a very bad loss, but remarkably the final result was a 28-28 tie.
