Exactly.

What's happening now is that head coaches have contracts that are so locked up that Universities are essentially stuck with the head coach.

Fans and Admins want heads to roll and it's far cheaper and easier to dump an assistant.

OSU Coordinator:

Matt Patricia - 3 year deal, locked in until 2029, making ~3.8M/season - highest paid college coordinator

Day is the De facto OC, but Smith could be next - just because he's only making about 1.75M/year and his contract ends early 2028.

Next up for DC & OC's contracts - they will only sign for longer term contracts and for much more money. They will following Patricia's lead.
