My guess as well. Day is probably planning to maintain the coaching staff this year and deciding on futures next year.

Other option is and he has said this is he would evaluate the staff after the bowl game... between the bowl game, national signing day and NFL off season there is a long time.... no one needs to get their panties in a wad yet...

BILL DAVIS BELIEVES OHIO STATE LINEBACKERS HAVE GROWN OVER LAST TWO SEASONS, SAYS HE “WOULD LOVE TO BE BACK”

101062_h.jpg


No member of Ohio State’s coaching staff has drawn more criticism for the on-field play of his position group over the past two seasons than linebackers coach Bill Davis.

Ohio State’s linebackers haven’t performed up to expectations in Davis’ two years on staff, and the Buckeyes’ entire defense has been a frequent target for criticism this year, as they have allowed more than 400 yards per game (for the first time in school history) and 25 points per game, all the while giving up way too many big plays, including 23 plays of 40-plus yards.

Davis, however, doesn’t believe all of that criticism is warranted. While he recognizes that Ohio State’s linebackers are held to a high standard, and that they do need to play better than they have this season, he also believes that he and his players deserve more credit than they have received.

“I’ve coached linebackers and been a coordinator in the NFL for a long time. I didn’t forget how to coach when I got to Ohio State,” Davis said at Sunday’s Rose Bowl media availability. “I know exactly what we’re telling these young men to do, and I know how efficiently they are or are not doing it. We are not perfect. But the defense is about 11 guys playing as one.

“I do not let criticism get me at all because I know the experiences I have and I know I know what I’m doing,” Davis continued. “I know these young men are growing under my leadership. It’s a great group of young men. It’s a real healthy group right now. A strong, deep room. Now we have experience. And I think their football IQ has gone through the roof in the two years I’ve been here. So I’m very proud of a lot of the growth that has happened. At the same time, there’s another level that I’ve got to get this group to. And we’re striving every day to get this group to that next level.”
