Ideally LJ and Grinch stay(as I think he has a good upside)Davis and Schiano hopefully find work elsewhere.Don't know who was responsible for Borland/Werner seeing so many snaps at LB but is one of those two and Schiano should have over ruled it.Grinch was prolly gritting his teeth
sounds like Grinch is getting looks from Oklahoma to be the sole DC. Can't be fun having to share with a moron like Schiano. Rumors also floating around that LJ Sr might be the next DC at Maryland.

Nope, Maryland snatched another Sabanite..  He has said in interviews before he does not want a HC position, not sure why, maybe just content developing what he does best.  Like the military, not all great NCO's can be good officers, they are good NCO's for a GOD given reason. 
As to Grinch, I don't blame him not want that Co title in front.  The issue with him, for Day, would be, do you go with him knowing that in a few years you will be replacing because he leaves for a HC spot, or stick with a guy that has experience, and probably won't be going anywhere unless you make the cut?
Here's a thought as well........Could Day bring a guy like DJ Durkin in as LB coach and shield him on the staf for a few years until things cool with him?  Durkin is a young guy, and I am sure would love to get another shot.

Locksley is trying to get LJ Sr to be his DC at Maryland. That's what the rumors are. They are tight.
Not sure DJ Durkin is employable. He falls into the Zach Smith category imo.

Kevin Wilson category in my opinion more so than the Zach Smith column.  I think if he was a few years younger, that jump to Maryland may just happen.

I was about to say the same thing. Or the Brian Kelly column, except ... how did he survive that scandal again?

I don't think so and DJD may/may not have been unfairly tarred and feathered.The crap happened under his watch so he has to take at least partial blame/responsibility.Not only that but fair or not Wilson has some baggage and Schiano was unfortunately lumped in with the scandal.I really hope he goes - I'd like to see what A.G.can do

Ironically Jim Tressel sent out an APB & E-mail to all the AD's in conference about the extremely high winds and wouldn't let personnel up high in affected areas.Shame ND wasn't in the conference

Nobody died on Wilson's watch. They are not similar.

Exactly and Urban didn't waste much time bringing Wilson on board, and didn't much care about the backlash.  Granted Day does not have the Urban Clout, but he is a new coach, who may get a little slack, by picking a coach off the Urban Meyer Tree.

Also mimicking Florida with Muschamp, which didn't work out very well for them.
Ehhh...Muschamp wasn't at Florida prior to being hired by the Gators at HC.

Were you comparing the Durkin incident with Wilson? If not, never mind.

Correct. He was the "chosen one" to replace Mack Brown at Texas, before Texas told him he wasn't anymore.
