I’d sure like to know if he even talked to the team in the locker room after the game?

I know you can’t control media leaks, but man, he couldn’t go back with the team and talk to the students for 30 seconds on campus green and then head to Charlotte at 6 AM Sunday?

Just a bad look in my opinion.

Terrible look, and anyone acting like it isn’t is insane.

Waiting for all the facts to come out-if ever-to figure out why he didn’t.

I agree we should wait for the facts. I don't know that we will get them but we can see. I also agree that if things are what they have been reported to be it is really bizarre.

Funny, i randomly saw this old-time video on you tube recently about when the Baltimore Colts packed up the Mayflower trucks and left in the middle of the night to Indy. Based on what we know so far, this reminds me of a coach version of that.

Always appreciate everyone on this 2024 team for the great year they had including all coaches, staff, and players. I hope there is an explanation because it is otherwise baffling.

The man’s dog was in the hospital and not doing well. He had to go pick her up from the hospital. Know the facts before you judge the man

So did he start the bus ride and then get some sort of call and they had to pull the bus over so he could get to his dog? You’d think if the dog was in the hospital and he had to go pick it up, he would have just gone with his wife straight from the stadium.

When did he actually interview with Charlotte? I wonder if the administration knew he was on their radar prior to the MACC.

So, did he get off the bus somewhere? Or did he get to Athens and just not go to the celebration? What vet was a dog at that it was gonna be picked up at night? In any event, this whole thing is even more bizarre than before with this story!

MedVet pet hospitals are open 24/7/365. Just saying.

Still sounds like cleanup in aisle three. I would think his wife could take the dog home after her husband just coached and won the biggest game in decades for Ohio university and it’s football student athletes.

It was on several sports sites that he was a top candidate, and I know that you can’t maybe keep up with them all, but that’s part of their jobs

If the deal was in place shortly after the game ended… I doubt he interviewed at half-time. Sounds to me like he didnt think OU would win, no better offers would come and accepted the job earlier in the week.

I don’t want to get conspiratorial around here, but his daughter was posting from a suite at the game. I sincerely doubt his dog was in such bad shape that everyone went to Detroit and was drinking and celebrating.

He left. And not in a stand-up way. Wasnt with the team. Didn't - and still hasn’t - addressed it. No way to spin it. He has however spoken with Charlotte beat writers.

I’d rather just move on.

Onward and upward.

Yup….get off the bus with your players and coaches on the college green. Pick up the mic and spend 30 seconds thanking the students and others who were there to greet the team. Then you have a police escort to the dog hospital. I don’t get it.

This is more bizarre than just sending a tweet that says “Thanks for the mem’s. Peace!”

I love my dog as much and anyone can, but in what way would anything that happened which allowed the dog to go home would stop him from releasing some sort of statement to OU fans, players, etc more than 24 hours later?

Hasn’t stopped him from talking to Charlotte. Not stopping him from being in Charlotte tomorrow morning for a presser.

I’m with ya. Biggest Ohio football moment in 50+ years and then boom….gone. Not even mad at him for taking the Charlotte job. I will never begrudge anyone for improving their net worth. It just leaves a sour taste in everyone’s mouth that he wasn’t there with the team at 10 PM Eastern Saturday night to celebrate for just a little bit in Athens. And yes…. I have no doubt this deal was probably in place at least 7-10 days before the MAC Championship game. No way it was just finalized the day before the game. And to now go 24 hours without acknowledging anything on social media to Ohio and its fans is inexcusable..Tim got some very poor advice from his inner circle on how to handle this after the game.
