Based on his recent tweet about being proud to be the coach at Minnesota. Hard to imagine with his buyout and salary that he was even a candidate to begin with.
I'm starting to feel strongly that HappyB will not be ... happy. The UCLA AD has been fortuitously relieved of Chip's big buyout and in fact is getting $1.5 million back from OSU. I think they will be even more thrilled to save on this hire by hiring an assistant and saying hey, it was the best we could do this late in the cycle.
