Is Urban really the guy we want?

    UM is O-U-T. No way wife lets him.

    Money changes opinions.

  • I love Fickel as the guy. He has helped run the most important part of our success, Defense. Great recrutier. If he can get a young aggressive Offensive coordinator in there, I think we can have success for many year under him. The only thing Meyer gets us is ESPN off our back becuase they love him.

  • I was told by a Florida grad friend of mine that Urban lost either 7 or 8 assistant coaches to head coaching gigs in the last two years. 3-4 were either offensive or defensive coordinators. With that kind of coaching turnover, it's amazing he did as well as he did.

    I'm gong to lay out the football schedule for the next 5 years, show me one, just one game Ohio State fans would find acceptable to lose.

    Bare? He only got the top de and dt(remember the one we wanted so bad), not to mention a top qb, corner and wr(again that we wanted). The bare cupboard with Muschamp coaching the D will wreak havoc on alot of SEC offenses this year. Muschamp is obviously downplaying this so if he is not so successful, he can say, hey we didn't have the recruits... After coming from Texas he has to be lickin his chops! Meyer has "it". He gets "it" and some of what he has came from Earle Bruce. I would be happy for him to coach the Bucks if Fickell cant handle the job and onloyif Meyer really wants to get back into coaching 110%.

    LoL Major violations. YOU are a damn idiot. How about his players always getting arrested. JT had a violation and it was not major. And if you think the school didn't know what Tress knew you are a bigger idiot than I thought.

    Much as I like Urban, you take away Tebow and he has no NCs, PERIOD..

    And didn't Ron Zook recruit Tebow?

    They were winning the 2006 championship without Tebow. Tebow didn't do a whole lot in that game.

  • Just my opinion but the NC game we lost to Florida would have been alot more interesting had Ted Ginn not been injured on the opening kickoff (for a TD). When he was lost, Fla. had an extra corner, LB, or safety to blitz on almost every play instead of double teaming Ginn. We still may have lost, but that injury was a game changer.

    Can you show me the violations Meyer had while at Florida or any other coaching place?

    I believe he is a great coach but anyone who claims they had a dream of a recruit playing for them and god wanted him to coach said recruit isnt on the level.

    I also believe you can get away with some things down in SEC country that would get self complianced up here making us repeaters.

    Would Ted Ginn been able to block Derrick Harvey and Jarvis Moss while also playing defense and stopping the short intermediate passing routes that they completed with ease against Heacocks 3 man front?

    He scored two TD's but as Ive stated already, they would have never, ever, been in that title game with out Tim Tebow. Im not in any way diminishing Meyer, as he recruited the kid. but for the record, UF would have never made it to the title game in 2006 without Tim Tebow. NEVER.

    No Tedd would not have. And people that say it was the D and not UM's offense, go watch that game. The offense scored at will on us all night. It's like our D wasnt even there.

  • Wait... six scholarship offensive linemen??? SIX???

    Can't believe nobody seems to have picked up on that, especially on this board.

  • I want Urban Meyer as the next OSU coach as bad as anyone on this board, but it bugs me when people post Tressel won with Cooper's players. If you say that , then you have to say Urban won with Ron Zook's players because he was only in his second season with UF when he beat OSU.

    Ok but then he won a second national title with his own players which is something Tressel never did.

  • I agree Alpha. Urban has been one of the most successful coaches in the past 10 years. It just bugs me when people say Tressel won with Cooper's players and other coaches get a pass. Many fans complain about Tressel's boring offense and buddy coaching system, but you can't deny his results. I don't think people truly understand how special the last 10 years have been. The only way I see the success staying the same or better, is if we get a coach like Meyer or Saban. And we have no chance with Saban.

    Obviously, the NCAA thought it was sort of an important violation, you know, knowing players are doing something that is in direct violation to NCAA rules, denying it and even signing a statement that he knew nothing about it, kind of major, unless you have no ethics.

  • I'd kinda like to see if Luke can coach before I give him a multiyear contract. I mean, I'm pulling for him but so far as I know his major college record is 0 - 0, I'd like to see some digits in the first column before I give him a contract extensiion. Notice I said nothing about the outcome of digits in the second column, he's in a tough situation with a lot of young BUT talented kids, let's see what he does with them, we know that UM is a winner and I would like to see him as a tOSU if Luke cannot do the job. Luke's not coming in with an empty cupboard, give me a break Musexcuse, and he SHOULD do well, let's see if he does and then go from there.

    Yea Leak only threw for 8788 yds., 72 TDs, 62% completion, 142 QB rating, and 11 rushing TDs while starting for three years. He was a big time recruit out of HS.


    And then promptly went undrafted.

    The fact is that Meyer won a NC with a QB who did not belong in the NFL.
