From Znidar's story this afternoon...

“The one thing I did with players as the process began to escalate was talk to them individually,’’ he said. “Coaches aren’t often transparent with their players. I let them know that I would be talking to Boston College and that they be quiet about it. I always tell them I’m going to be honest with them and up front with them. I told them because of hard work I was going to have this opportunity.’’

Good job, coach.

Fancy that, most of us on this board are really morons when it comes to knowing what goes on "within the program".  The coach did talk to his players, he probably talked to the AD, he probably planned on staying at OHIO longer, one of the better opportunities of a lifetime came his way.  He took it.  Why would we want to flog him when you would have taken the same offer?  Sometimes, I just don't get it.  

OHIO will be fine just like we were before JC.  Oh, this move is not TCU folks, give the guy a break.

I give him credit for this. In fact, it seems he handled it far better than Groce. We can all remember stories of him not answering phone calls from players and essentially "skipping town" in the night.

Now, I did hear that Christian may have kept Schaus in the dark, which doesn't seem very professional. But honestly, I think he owes more to the players than Schaus.

Wouldn't BC need to get Ohio's permission to talk to him?  That's the usual protocol.
