I repeatedly saw him on TV having apparent issues, bending over and head down, away from team during breaks in the game.

Loved the time he spent here at Ohio State. 
Pissed the President was an ass towards him. 
I think stepping down may be the best choice to take care of his health.

Some pretty good/funny remarks from Michigan Fans -

-Hmm, Ryan Day is the replacement. Ever notice how an Ohio State head coach's name has to have 10 letters or less?
Woody Hayes
Earle Bruce
Jim Tressel
Urban Meyer
Ryan Day
Then, of course, there was Luke Fickell. Eleven letters. Fans got confused. He had to go immediately.
-The devil called him and said he wants his soul back.
,-Dammit boys, he's getting away!

-The university finally recovered all of his deleted text messages ...

Well, he's retiring from OSU.  I would be very surprised if he's not back on the sidelines somewhere in the next few years.

This deserves its own thread for sure, outside of the coaching thread we have. I'd say the Maryland opening does too, but I'll leave that to others to decide.


Anyway, Urban was good for the Big Ten in that he changed the game for the conference and forced everyone else to (try to?) up the ante. The status quo was not going to work anymore with him around, and I'd say as a whole the league has definitely improved from top to (almost) bottom. He should get a lot of credit for that, be it from the level of coaching or the level of recruiting. He changed it all.


Now, moving forward... Day seems like the logical choice for OSU. At the time, OSU needed an Urban Meyer. It does not now. Day can come in, make his changes (not many) and keep OSU on the path its on. There is not much needed to change there.


So when does Smith call it a Day (pun not intended)?

The players would never be able to spell it, if it was longer.

The Packers need a coach, but I don't think he needs any more "headaches" right now. I'm thinking this really may be it for him, as in, he's done.

Yeah, he really hasn't looked too good lately.  I wish him well, hope he can recover some of his health.  If coaching is in his future once again, more power to him, but for now at least he should definitely be thinking of his own future, and his family.

He'd be an even better fit in BTN studios on Saturdays in the Fall.
