I think it simply is the case that he, for some reason, lost desire and enthusiasm to coach at college level and realized that he needs to move on eventually.  His comment of “take himself out if he doesn’t think he can get it done” may reflect this feeling. Did he plan to move to NFL this off season, probably not.  But when opportunities coming he just could not pass when he realized that is where he truly want to be, at least for now.
 
Based on SU’s statement on his leave and Gross’s comments during his yesterday interview, clearly there is no much bad feeling between Doug and SU.  He probably realized that it is at least a couple of years too early for him to leave now and did not feel comfortable for thate.  At the same time, I don’t see any way he wants to hurtSyracusefootball. In the contrast, he probably worked closely with SU to minimize the impact.
 
It is my opinion that the Bills get the right guy and he made a right move because that is where his heart is.  He worked very hard inSyracuseto turn the program around.  Is he perfect in the hill, probably not.  But I will always thank him for hard work he gave to the university.
