It shouldn't surprise anyone that he may have viewed the OSU job as a stepping stone to escape back to the NFL and run screaming from the stuff about college ball that's always given him hives. Just needed the juice to be given the opportunity.

There's also an element to football coaches at this level once they've reached the mountaintop and might get fidgety to seek out a new challenge.
