IF it this all comes to fruition, what does Fick do now? You would think it would be a step backwards to take his old job. Does he swallow that pill and see if Urban offers him a job, or does he go out and try and catch on somewhere else.
Hope it all works out for him, in the end.
On one end, its easy to see how you could feel bad for him, but think about it this way:
OSU is his dream job. There is no question about it. He was rather unqualified to take the job on a permanent basis. Yet he still got it. He got the honor and the responsibility of running his dream job for a year.
I mean, if you were asked "Would you have sex every night with Scarlett Johannson for a million dollars, but it'd only last for one year" would you do it?
In Luke's eyes, its probably been a dream come true for him, even if he gets replaced. He is building up a good resume to take to another university to prepare him self to take over for when Meyer retires. Not on interim, but on a full time basis.
Lets remember something: Luke is 38 years old. That gives him years further to prepare for the OSU coaching job. Having said that, the median age for a head coach coming to OSU is 48 years old, between Bruce, Coop, Tressel and (assuming) Meyer. The only other coach to come on that young was (oddly enough) Woody Hayes at 38.
