Jim Tressel (National Champion, ex-President, Youngstown State University, CFB HOF)

You know what is going to suuuuh-uuuuhhhh-uuuck?

Hearing the endless speculation about who the next coach is going to be - for an entire year.

I realize that the University has appointed an interim coach for the year and that he has the inside track on getting the job - if things go well - but that won't stop anyone.

Ugh.

Ugh.

My guess, and I would put $ on it, Urban Meyer will be our next coach.

A very sad day for the program and the University. Regardless of what has transpired, JT has always been a class act and I have been proud of how he has represented the University. Unfortunately, I think most of this knew that this was inevitable.

There will be countless speculations about the effect of recruiting, who the next coach will be, etc. etc. This is a bump in the road...The program WILL survive and everything will be alright. Go Bucks!

I really don't think they can afford to not name a coach for an entire year. It will ruin recruiting.

These kids are going to want to know who they are playing for, what kind of offense/defense they will be in to make an informed decision. You're telling me someone is going to pledge their college career to an unknown? I wouldn't let my child, if I had one.

FIFY.

I'm sorry, I read your first post wrong. I agree with you. I think this upcoming years recruiting is going to take a BIG hit. I wouldn't want my kid going to an unknown either

From who I know Fickell was always going to be the next guy. I just think they wanted this to happen a little later and under different circumstances.
Where did you hear that from? I've never heard a mention of that. I know from MANY players, they love coach Fick, but I don't think I'd take him as a long term coach.
