Jeff Hafley's Departure From Ohio State After Just One Season is a Shift From Urban Meyer's Two-Year Commitments With Assistants

Urban Meyer somewhat notoriously expected at least two years out of his assistant coaches at Ohio State.

It was a commitment he spoke about publicly on many occasions and one that even seemed to work both ways, as he kept multiple assistant coaches on staff despite lackluster debut seasons.

Whether it was a firm rule or just a loose understanding, Meyer never saw a single assistant leave after just one season at Ohio State in his seven seasons in Columbus. But now, with Jeff Hafley leaving to become the new head coach at Boston College, Ryan Day now has one in his first.
