Remember. You heard it here first. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_bianchi/2011/03/in-wake-of-bruce-pearl-firing-urban-meyer-will-replace-jim-tressel-at-ohio-state.html

1. Speculation..

I voted in the poll though...and I see almost 63% think this Mike guy is full of it.

Btw, the 49ers are said to be looking closely at Ricky Stanzi...you think he'll make a good pro?

[Condem]

3. Hard to say, Upton.

I've been reading all this shit saying he's the next Tom Brady. Smart kid. Who know's with the right coach? I'll say this. I wish we had the 2009 Stanzi. For all the pick sixes, he was there at crunch time. This past year, not so much.

[Upton]

9. Thanks Condem..

Seems to be some questions about his decision making and accuracy, but those comebacks he's led are impressive. Who knows how far you guys would have gone if he hadn't have gotten injured against Northwestern. He's got poise. I think he'd make a great NFL QB in the right system. Harbaugh and Stanzi sounds mighty good to me. For the most part, he's getting the thumbs up on the 49er boards too..

2. Why not? One crooked coach replaces another crooked coach...makes sense...nt

[Condem]

4. Can't see Ohio State ever axing Tressel, joey.

Now, resigning on his own....another matter altogether.

[joeybee12]

5. Only way would be if the NCAA came down really hard on him...

in other words, you're right.

[PVnRT]

12. And when that happens, we'll all get magical ponies who fart rainbows

[LisaM]

6. Right. They are going to get a coach whose initials are "UM".

I just can't see it happening.

[KamaAina]

7. Which would explain why Otis Scott Utley got passed over

in favor of RichRod. :-)

[LisaM]

8. Ha ha ha ha ha

Or Mark Steven Urquell.

[Botany]

10. not gonna happen

Jim very well might have to leave OSU because he wanted to resign but Urban Meyer will not be the
new coach .... pure rumor.



Meet the next head coach of OSU ... Luke Fickle .... and the buckeye train will keep right on rolling and the rest
of the College Football world will wish to be as good looking, fast, strong, successful. and wonderful as THE OHIO
STATE UNIVERSITY

BTW the 2010 season ... oh what the hell it didn't count anyway .... the NCAA is gonna whack that season good.

Enjoy as the Bucks move on to the final 4.

11. First, Jim Tressel has a job for as long as he wants it. If he gets another B1G title or two and

another 5 wins agaisnt tsun, they'll make a statue of him in Columbus.

[happyiowan]

13. Guess the Vestman

didn't want that job so much anymore. So much for him being invisible. Wonder what Urban is up to these days?

15. Looks like TOSU has a new football coach..

16. Amazing...this was posted back in March...

and I gotta say I'm sick of ESPNMeyer this morning.

[Condem]

17. Kudo's to the author, Mike Bianchi, joey. He nailed it.

Here's Mandel's take http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/stewart_mandel/11/28/urban-meyer-ohio-state/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t12_a3 Bottom line: National Champs in 4 years. Any takers?

[Upton]

18. Seems to me..

Meyer was saying most of last week he had never even been offered the job..I know he made that claim during the Nebraska/Wisconsin game weekend before last. You just can't believe anyone anymore...these guys lie like politicians..

[Condem]

19. Jesus, Upton. He had to.

Ohio State still had a game to play.

[Upton]

20. I guess..

he could have just offered up a "no comment" though..

[Maccagirl]

21. There's a team meeting at noon and (reportely) a press conference

around 4:00 today. We'll see if they interupt Dr. OZ here in Buckeye Nation.

[Condem]

22. Seems the assholes who run college football (ESPN) fucked up again...

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/28/meyers-agent-says-report-jumped-the-gun/related/ A formality.

[Maccagirl]

23. Confirmed-breaking on all Columbus stations at noon.

He will meet the press at a news conference at 5:15 today.

[Capt. America]

24. And so the new era begins...

PS: I still would have rather none of this had happended. But, talk about making lemonade out of lemons! It's amazing what 40 million dollars can fix.

[Condem]

25. I'll be the first to congratulate all Buckeye fans. A great hire. In fact, perfect.

I think Michigan's victory party just lasted one year. The stakes just got raised for every school in the Big Ten. To be the man, you got to beat the man. And Urban's achieved it twice in the toughest conference in America. Here's hoping his health holds out.

[trumad]

26. I will argue with you until Meyer accomplishes what you think he will do...

Here's a pretty good piece regarding Meyer.

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2011-07-21/sports/os-bianchi-sec-media-days-noflorida-b20110720_1_muschamp-meyer-and-steve-spurrier-gators

[Condem]

27. I'll counter with this piece, Tru.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/16270672/forget-the-other-stuff-meyer-is-perfect-hire-for-buckeyes It's going to be tough with the upcoming sanctions but Urban will have no problem recruiting. In fact, with the demise of Penn State he could own the eastern seaboard. Plus, a pipeline to Fla. No one can predict shit but if his health holds out, I see nothing to stop him at OSU. Throw in a few free tattoos, and it should be Big Ten Champs every year. Just like Tressell. Time will tell.

[trumad]

28. but that is the problem

Florida was the premier destination for high school players after Florida won their first NC with Meyer.

But yet he still recruited horribly the last couple of years.

Add on that Gators had more players arrested than any football program the last several years and you have in mho, a very overrated football coach.
