Everett Withers (Off Analyst Texas Longhorns)

I thought part of Urban's contract included Gene being put in the corner.

I'm actually not going to be mad at Gene on this one. I like that he's being cautious.

Dot some i's and cross some t's. That's all.

Confirmed by Urban that Withers is in the picture on 97.1...

Since Meyer just stated that Fickell will be calling the defenses (see Meyer and Fickell threads) I wonder if Withers would even be interested...

Confirmed by Urban that Withers is in the picture on 97.1...

Urban said something really close to the affect of "I don't think it's official yet, but Withers is definetly in the picture".

That's a pretty dangerous topic to bring up, Gene.

Putting that aside, I'm pretty sure Fickell's a very visible part of OSU's future.

Exactly. People are going to think Gene is a racist.

Also hearing this is a done deal.

 

[Abenaki]

I like it. Connections down in NC and the mid-Atlantic are going to be good connections to have.

Thanks for keeping us posted Wad!

Great to hear.

This guy knows defense. He developed all of those beasts he had a couple of years ago, and I am excited to see what he can do with our Buckeyes.

:moo:

 

[RB07OSU]

Can't wait to see this be made official and I love seeing his name in this part of the forums. This is going to prove to be a HUGE pickup. Love a defensive staff of Vrabel, Fickell, Withers, and Johnson(?).

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Being reported on espnews that it is official.
