Will the overrated Urban Meyer coach Ohio State?

[trumad]

A popular sports blog is citing sources close to the Ohio State University football program that suggest former Florida Gators’ coach Urban Meyer will become the next head coach of the Buckeyes.

SportsByBrooks is reporting that Meyer has agreed to a deal in principle, though nothing has been finalized. Additionally, a website dedicated to Ohio State, Eleven Warriors, has cited sources indicating that Meyer will accept the position once the NCAA delivers their verdict on sanctions against the program.

One report states that Meyer will keep current head coach Luke Fickell on staff, and try to add some big names, including long-time ESPN analyst and former Buckeye quarterback Kirk Herbstreit.

1. I've heard that Urban Meyer also bought a house in the Columbus area.

Even Michigan fans think that Meyer is going to Ohio State.

Though the other comment we agreed on yesterday, was that the who blog thing is real circular. One person makes a comments, everyone else repeats it as fact.

:shrug:

7. He has had a house

For a while now. the kiddies are enrolled in a very, very nice cbus school. me thinks the deal was in the mix for some time.

[Condem]

2. Yes. He will be coach of The Ohio State University.

And he'll have the Buckeyes national champs within 4 years.

[trumad]

3. no he wont

He wont have a tebow and he wont have Ron Zooks recruited players.

And his mental health problems wont let him last.

[Condem]

4. Won't be the first or last time we disagree.

The man has an ego bigger than Newt Gingrich's. That trumps his utter insanity. Ron Zook has done nothing at Illinois. Let's put a little wager on it, tru. I'm good for it.

9. no...but

He recruited the players that Urban won his NCs with.

Looka the shit he left the new Florida coach.

[Condem]

10. He won, tru.

The road in the Big Ten is a lot easier.

12. Larry Coker

Won the first two seasons with Butch Davis recruits.....but then turned the team into crap.

I'm telling you this guy ain't no Tressel.

[Condem]

13. So you're saying he doesn't cheat.

Well, alright.

[trumad]

14. Meyer's Gators had serious discipline problems off the football field

And rap sheets the Canes would be proud of.

[madinmaryland]

11. But he will have a Braxton Miller which will negate the tebow thingie.

5. Ohio State coached by a man with the initials UM?

That will be a first.

[Condem]

6. Nice win, today, 1go.

Nice season.

[trumad]

15. Here's your Urban Meyer in a nutshell Condem.

I'm telling you---I live around a million Gator fans and they are not happy with how this guy left their team.

16. Good piece, tru.

If I were a Gator, I'd be pissed too. Especially in light of who they got now. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is commonplace in College Football. I just wonder about those migraines. He'll take Ohio State to the pinnacle (if he goes there) then bail. Take a couple years off then coach again. An idle coach is an itchy coach. I'll tell you what. He's a damn fine analyst. Love listening to him.

17. its not just his health

He left the Gators with horrible recruiting classes.

Again..the majority of his sucess came from Ron Zook recruited players.

Hey...he might be great for you guys....but he ain't no Tressel.

[Charlemagne]

8. Oh cool, go f yourself

Cheers and best of luck next Saturday! :)

18. Urban will bring automatic recruting cred with his two rings. It will make the transition easier

and tOSU does not need a "head coach in training".

[trumad]

19. No---they need a head coach without health problems

and one who is far overrated in his recruiting prowess.

Again--- he left Florida in the shitter when he left.

20. The OVERRATED Urban Meyer will be a perfect match for Ohio State and the big 10.

They have at least 1 thing in common already. :hide:
