Norwood to Baylor?

Why doesn't this seem right to me? Why would he leave now? OK, so the pay would be better, he's a good coach and it could lead to bigger things--if he can do something no one's done at Baylor for a long time, win. Just seems kind of odd that he would leave one year before his son graduates as one of the better receivers in PSU history. We'll see where this goes.

Penn State assistant coach Brian Norwood has accepted the defensive coordinator position at Baylor, The Patriot-News has learned.

Several sources close to the situation confirmed Norwood's decision.

Norwood, PSU's safeties coach since 2001, recently traveled to Texas to discuss the possibility of joining Art Briles' staff, according to several sources.

Neither Norwood nor Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw returned The Patriot-News' phone calls Thursday.
