like...that was openly admitted by both of them. Schiano kept his name warm at a high profile program and Meyer got an associate HC to CEO his defense.

now that Meyer is gone, the deal doesn't make sense for Ohio State, Day or Schiano. regardless of the on-field results, Day has no connection to Schiano and isn't going to let his one (only) big HC shot go up in flames or undermined by a gruff veteran who has been a NFL HC.

likewise, Schiano has bigger aspirations than caddying a 39-year-old's college defense and isn't going to wait around and get blamed a la Mike Stoops and Lincoln Riley.
