Yes, looks official now. I'm figuring that either he'll make a big splash there or it will turn out to be his next step towards relative obscurity.

I think he's closer to relative obscurity.

I believe he is addicted to coaching or competition even though his best days are years ago. The man has all the money he could use and could do anything, but like so many of his kind he can't give it up.

Interesting that this news would have grabbed my attention with an iron fist 5 or 6 years ago, now I’m like, ehh, whatever.

I wonder what they're paying him. I can't find even speculation about it anywhere.

Kinda weird that Ohio State has a vacancy and the head coach is his protege, but he didn't go back there...after they won a NC together last year.

Remember, he started in New Hampshire or something like that? He's back home. I bet he never leaves. Hey, good for him. Maybe he will stop chasing the money and just settle down and call plays. It's honestly what he should have done from day one.

He went to Northwestern, not Northeastern, right?

Northwestern is in Illinois, not New Hampshire.
