Why did he step down though?

That's the (multi) million dollar question. I gotta think something really big and really bad has happened off the field to lead to this. Even if he has an NFL gig already lined up I think he would've absolutely stuck it out with his team that he recruited through the end of the season.

All reports are he just felt like stepping away. No ulterior motive.

He will continue working with the team in an advisory role. No tinfoil hat needed

I wonder if he's pulling a Pete Carroll and hitting the road before the NCAA comes down on the program for something.

If he really is stepping away to "recharge" as the reports say, I highly doubt he would want to jump into an even more stressful environment in the NFL. 

I'm not actually familiar with him or with the situation but this is valid.

I didn't necessarily think had to be something ulterior, one of my thoughts was that potentially a spouse or child had gotten seriously ill or something that would simply not allow him to effectively do the job.

Hey, at the end of the day, if he's over it I respect that. A lot of guys would've just mailed it in and kept cashing that check for awhile.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
