He's going to spend the next 4 years single handedly developing a cure for brain cysts and take over for Ryan Day in 2023 when Day leaves for the NFL after winning 4 B1G titles and 2 national titles.

there are about 30 assistant and associate athletic directors at osu. heck, pantoni and marotti are assistant athletic directors. fans and haters alike are reading the headline and assuming that urban's title means much more than it does. it will be nice to have him around the program, but he is not going to take over for gene.

Agree with your first three sentences. Absent any inside information, I think Urban could very well take over for Gene. I wouldn't say it's probable, but it's crazy to think it definitely won't happen.

I think Fickell killing it with the juggalos is pretty nice insurance if Day bolts for the NFL in a couple of years.

Big difference between killing it in a weak conference by using your deep Ohio connections to recruit mid-tier BIG talent from Ohio and recruiting at the level needed to kill it at OSU. Fick may also be too conservative offensively to win big at the highest level.

I still think there should be a national search IF Day doesn't work out, IMO

This. With a guy on an Urban Meyer staff that is there to at least ATTEMPT a continuance of what has been going on (even if only 90% as successful), it's worth the risk. Imagine if Dan Mullen was still on staff when he initially retired at UF? That would have been infinitely more smooth than what they did. If after 3 seasons OSU is only 28-12 or something, then you go national...or hope Urban wants to come back.

If after 3 seasons we are losing one game per year to a weak also-ran like Iowa or Purdue, then it is time to rebuild.

Ohio State is a long way from elite right now. A loooooong way.

Hopefully, Day doesn’t put player or coach over team like Meyer did. It finally caught up to Meyer in a humiliating way.

If after 3 season "we" are losing a game a year it's time to ... wait for it.. rebuild?

Must be "Everybody has Opinions Day" so here goes: Urban's lucky to have a job connected to the university. A school teacher who failed to report physical abuse, especially if they knew another teacher was abusing students, would probably have their credentials pulled. Success on the football field does not make you immune to the special expectations placed on educators - being a priest is a possible exception. So, no, the national media frenzy alone would kill any attempt to bring Meyer back in a few years.

I would imagine the faculty, who probably already think that football has too high a priority in the university, is not thrilled about Urban Meyer teaching a course.

The Iowa and Purdue games were both embarrassing and utterly unacceptable. But we aren’t rebuilding. There’s more talent in that locker room going into next year than Ohio State ever had before Urban Meyer. The cupboard is FULL. And we will be competing for a national title next year. Book it.

Why? The national frenzy didn’t prevent him from being retained right now.

Possibly because this is the chain the information flowed: the Powell PD informed the Ohio State title IX office of an incident they were investigating, the title IX office informed the athletic director, the athletic director informed the head coach. They decided to wait for the Powell PD to do their work before taking any action since there were no charges and it was at a private residence 20 miles away from campus; there were never any charges after official police investigations.

The official report said Meyer needed to do more; he was supposed to report it to the title IX office that already knew about it.

It would be nice if people could keep that straight.

You are dishonest in your post. Admit it.

Losing by more than 3 or 4 touchdowns to mid-pack teams like Iowa and Purdue are not normal losses. They are statement losses which identify cracks, flaws, weaknesses that are deeper than just a bad game.

Purdue is a bad team. Their best players would not be in Auburn’s 2-deep. Yet they beat us going away. Sadly, I think they would give us all we could handle if we played again. Not because their players are better, but because our system has developed a trait for not mentally showing up for 3 or 4 games per year. I’m not talking about fluke games which happen to everyone. I’m talking about multiple games where we seem so emotionally fragile that we let little stuff change the entire game......vs significantly outmanned teams.

Most of the nation took notice yesterday. How could they not? If M loses to Florida.....I think they will.....then our statement win looks less impressive.

We are in the position now of the big bully who got his clock cleaned a few years ago and hasn’t gotten back up.
