Dunno if I would say it quite like this, but I did note that Randy 
Jordan apparently suggested to Jackson - before he decided to leave - 
that a "change of scenery" might be good for him. I guess you can view 
that as trying to run him off, or as a coach trying to do the right 
thing for one of his kids. Jackson also stated that his running style 
might not be best suited for NU's offense.
