  • Welcome back Urban.......

    Several media outlets are reporting that Urban Meyer has agreed to accept the head coaching job at Ohio State.

    He will keep current coach Luke Fickell on staff, and add LSU offensive coordinator Gregg Studrwa along with............wait for it.............Kirk Herbstreit to coach the quarterbacks.

    Now that the sanctions have been handed down Urban feels like it is a worthwhile job. A formal announcement is expected by the end of the month.

    Saw this a lot yesterday on Twitter. Have been wondering if GameDay will talk about it at all today.

    I don't get why Herbie would be interested in this, but maybe coaching is his dream.

      Urban's offensive system is a good one for college football. And he can recruit. I predict he wins a couple championships at Ohio State if he stays for ten years.

        I'm not buying it.

          I met him once. He's not a big guy, probably 5'11" tall, but conveys a lot of energy and intensity, and in a positive way. Interesting guy. Ohio State will be lucky to have him.

            That sounds like a nice staff, but the timing is suprising. Contrary to your post, the sanctions haven't been handed out yet. OSU just barely got slapped with failure to monitor last week, and it'll be another month or two at least before the NCAA doles out punishment.

            I like Herbstreit and hope he stays on TV.

              Herbstreit came out and said he's staying at ESPN.

                On the Michigan Nebraska broadcast, Urban said he he has not been offered the job. Looks like he's in.

                  Yeah that was funny. Standing next to a rumored assistant while on the clock at his current job, discussing a job that isn't available. That's not a situation likely to produce an honest response.

                  Which isn't to say he lied; I'm sure that he and OSU have an "understanding" at most.

                    Does Herbie have any coaching experience at all?

                      I'm sure he lied about it, because he has a history of lying. He told the Bowling Green team he was not leaving and the next day he was named head coach at Utah. He told the Utah team he was not leaving and the next day he was named head coach at Florida.

                      I would say that we'll see Meyer on the sidelines in Columbus next year.

                        Not surprised. been rumored since Tressel got canned. What I am surprised is the timing.. Does OSU and Urban know something we don't know. I was pretty sure there was still some instability about OSu and not in control etc. UNless the self imposed loss of schollies etc was enough and NCAA is not just going through the motions..

                        I hope he keeps Fickle and new Assisant D coach Vrabel..

                        EDIT: Oh yeah. Herbie. That has to be a JOKE.. No way now how would he be a good coach.. Hell. He just moved out of C-Bus to Tenn.

                          I think that once you see the transformational impact UM will have on your Buckeyes you'll have no trouble embracing the guy.

                              Weird if true. Weird for Muschamp to say anything and I wonder what Urban is dealing with.
