This seems eerily similar to how close we were to hiring him last year. Thought it came out that there was something in his separation from Ohio state that he had to at least interview for a position each year to receive his buyout in full or something to that end?

Anyone know how his health issues are after a few years off?

Chronic back issues and a botched foot operation had the ole boy nearly ready to go behind the barn when he left OSU.

Wondering the same, and how many years he actually has left. After reading up on his health, sounds like he went through hell.

What if I offered you a one time NBA coach of the year that led his team to the NBA playoffs 4 of 6 years (1 Finals run)


NBA/NFL and college are totally different games. Lovie Smith made a Super Bowl and is 9-27 at Illinois.

Basically agreed to step away, thought about coming back last year and got pretty close with UGA but decided he wasn't ready yet.


If that is the case then why wasn’t it called that? Ohio State fired him. Obviously he is a good coach. Not flaming. Being fired insinuates he wasn’t totally ok with “stepping away”

We shall see. Coach that got fired, been gone two years, has health issues, and Ohio State basketball in B1G has been more desirable than Alabama.

Kinda meh IMO.
