How funny is it that Ohio State is saddled with Bjork?

This guy is good for major screw-ups at each stop in his career.

Bjork was front and center at the firings of both Hugh Freeze and Jimbo Fisher.

Maybe they hired him to finish off Ryan Day?

I think it's more likely that tOSU continues to hum along just fine because Bjork is an empty suit who just does what he's told by those in actual leadership positions.

At TAMU, those people are morons. Probably the case at Ole Miss as well.

Yeah he totally didn’t invite the NCAA in and give them “exemplary cooperation” in order for them to hammer us and then hired one of the most unqualified coaches to run a program in the SEC the last 20 years.

He just “did as he was told”

It’s been the same story everywhere he has been

This is what I said in another thread. Texas a&m and Ole Miss only want to blame others for their misfortune. Everyone needs a scapegoat.

Like hiring Stoops without consulting the board of regents?

You’re fricking retarded. Bjork absolutely bungled the NCAA investigation with his “exemplary cooperation” approach. Literally helping the NCAA build their case against Ole Miss. Then he went and hired Matt Luke when Mike Norvel was available down the road at Memphis. He was an atrocious Athletic Director.

No head football coach is offered by TAMU without money behind the decision. More likely some faction of big money donors wanted Stoops, was behind the "hire" and when it was leaked, the inmates running the asylum (TexAgs) freaked out and they walked it back, blaming Bjork who they knew was on the way out.

Norvell was 8-5 in his first season at Memphis in 2016. Matt Luke was hired in July of 2017. So Bjork is an idiot because he wasn't clairvoyant about what Norvell would become?

Honesty is the best policy. He was probably trying to teach you guys not to cheat.

Welp... neither school hired Charlie Skrong or Tom Herman. So at least both schools have that.

More likely, he had to deal with bad situations at schools run by idiots.

Wrong. Luke was named interim for the 2017 season. Then when he went 6-6 with DK Metcalf, AJ Brown, Dawson Knox and Greg Little on offense, Bjork decided to make him the permanent head coach instead of hiring Norvell after he had gone 10-3 in 2017 at Memphis.

But keep talking about shite you know nothing about.

The AD we hired after Bjork (Keith Carter) hired Kiffin and Chris Beard while we also won the CWS. He has also overseen the biggest influx of donations in Ole Miss history. We are getting ready to tear down one side of our football stadium and rebuild within the next 5 years. All of this happened after Bjork “left” to go to A&M. Our program has grown leaps and bounds since that short frick “left”

The funny thing about all of this is that the Buckeye fans generally think that Bjork was stolen from aTm.

Luke was named the permanent head coach in 2018. Norvell won 10 games at Memphis in 2017. Shut the frick up you dumb bitch.
