There was no way he simply left Florida for OSU. The Ohio State job was his dream job and it basically fell in his lap through no fault of his own.
Frankly I'm not too fond of him as a person in general, but I dislike losing even more, so I'll manage
Oh i agree he didnt leave florida because of OSU. I actually wouldnt of had a Problem with that. But if you remember his excuse to leave Florida was because of Health issues and he wanted to spend time with his family Blah blah blah..
Its Obvious now that his health wasnt as big a Factor as he made it out to be since 15 months after resigning from Florida he takes a Job at OSU. Dream job or not.
IMO he felt he outgrew Florida and with Teabow leaving he would of had to go thru antoher rebuilding period. He wanted to go on to bigger and better things but couldnt get out of his contract to make a Lateral jump to another College team so he used his Health as an Excuse and went to ESPN for a year.
