If defensive staff changes are coming, who should OSU be looking to hire?

If Urban Meyer likes the hire, it makes little difference whether we do.

I don't disagree with you - my opinion about this subject is less meaningful than a pimple on a sad dog's ass. We don't have any choice but to live with Meyer's decisions. This just happens to be the first really important decision that Meyer's made as the OSU head coach that I disagree with very strongly, so I'm being grumpy about it. I am typically an optimist, but I personally find it difficult to feel "sunny" about anything or anyone connected to what happened at PSU.

My stance on this initially was a negative one. Why? Because I read reviews from anonymous posters on a Buckeye forum over the years. I don't even remember any specifics, that was my perception.

If Urban wants him, good enough for me. But then this morning reading the reviews of former Buckeyes added to the obvious results, sign me up. By the way, it will make the cult mad, that out weighs any ill-conceived perceptions (mine; nobody else's).

does anyone find it interesting that we hired a (presumably) position coach before we hired the (again presumably) co-dc coach?

Not really. At the college level it is all up to the head coach to pick the assistants. Recruiting might be as big of a factor as actual on the field coaching. In the NFL a good DC might have the ability to pick assistants, but in college I think you have to come in and work with who you have around you.

On the flip side, you seem to be trying find any reason to like the hire. Covering for a cover-upper.

You don't know anything about my motivations. I'm not looking for reasons to like or dislike the hire. I simply see what I see, and it makes a little bit of puke rise up in the back of my throat.

No, I'm not trying to find a reason to like it. I like it for the facts. He's an excellent teacher, a great recruiter, and a great motivator. You're assuming he had a role in the coverup. Although, from all accounts, he had no idea it was going on. It started before he even became an employee at PSU.

What you "simply see" isn't factual. Just based on personal dislike.

I feel like a hypocrite cheering for a person who I had such contempt for while at a place I have such contempt for. The moves he pulled while at Penn State, if true, are [Mark May]ty ways to do things. I'm still sketchy about how he even got the job in the first place. Oh look at that.....your kid is a stud RB? Sure you can coach here. Turns out it was a great hire for them, but was he worthy of it at the time?


Bottom line....I didn't like the [Mark May] he pulled at Penn State. Putting a different color shirt on doesn't mean I all of a sudden condone it.

I'm a proud hypocrite when it comes to college football. There's no room for intellectual honesty or ideological purity in this sport when it comes to supporting your team.

Somebody else already mentioned it, but it's worth it to take a look at the reactions in the comments of other coaches and in comments by former Buckeye players who camped at PSU or were recruited by Johnson. The praise is unequivocal from what I've seen so far. Why does that carry less weight than some semi-anonymous decade-old message board rumors?
