Later, Furrey learned that Dunbar had been in the process of interviewing for the UNI head coaching job when he was first contacted about a possible transfer. When Dunbar took the Panther post, Furrey was more than welcome to come along. I did everything I was asked to do, everything I was told to do. It was just something I felt like I had to do. OSU head coach John Cooper tried to talk him out of it, Furrey says.
College football is a business.
They want to keep their players there, and they say what they feel like they need to say. I knew what I had to do. I had to do what was best for me. What was best for Furrey has been best for the Panthers as well. It sure beats his career total of zero receptions at Ohio State, and Furrey still has two years after this one to run up his numbers.
