Urban Meyer a done deal to OSU?

    Urban Meyer>brady hoke

    It is funny...I remember having a similar discussion when Lloyd Carr took over, and that Cooper was
    much superior to Carr.

    Funny how these things work out sometimes.

  • It's already a bit of a joke that Lloyd Carr recommended OSU's "family atmosphere" (maintained by "Cheatin' Jim" Tressel) over Rich Rod's Michigan, but if they hire a guy in Urban Meyer who basically ripped off Rich Rod's system and as a coach is certainly not known as a traditionalist the irony meter would burst - especially given Michigan's about-face.

    Who would have thought a year ago that Michigan was going to be heading the way of a hybrid power-running/west coast offense while OSU may implement the spread option..

    And I'm sure we said Carr was much better than Tressel (of course he might have been if Tress hadn't been cheating).

    At the end of the day we will see. And the only guy I'd take over Hoke at this point is Harbaugh (he's the best coach anywhere IMO) Hoke is a great leader, recruiter, and most importantly coach.

    Urban's a good coach.. but I have my doubts on spread offenses in the B1G. We saw first hand how that went.

    Not really.

    No Tebow.
    No Mullen.
    No worries.

    Urban would be formidable at OSU, no doubt.

    But I don't even see smoke yet. I see blogs with rumors. That ain't smoke. You get Urban buying a house in Columbus, or even looking; you get him visiting Gee or vice versa...you get some info like that, THAT is smoke.

    I think there is a fair chance by early next year he will be the coach. But that is different than believing that anything we are hearing today has any validity other than a guess.

    There's plenty of smoke man, it's just not the bong smoke you guys are used to seeing.

    ESPN has reported that Meyer and tOSU have been in contact. Urban said yesterday that he has not been offered or accepted any job offer, he did not deny having any talks with tOSU nor did he say that he wasn't interested. He just said there was no truth to the rumor that he's been offered and accepted the job.

    There is no better man for this job and as long as the NCAA doesn't act like we are SMU or USC, Meyer will be our next coach.

    Come on man, be realistic. How was Tress cheating ? Was he stealing your playcalling signals, did he secretly videotape your practices ? Did he pay recruits to come to tOSU instead of UM ? Exactly how did Tressel cheat ? I'll give you the fact that he covered up the tat 5 but that was only 1 game against UM that he knew about the scandal. So how did he cheat to beat you the other 7 times ?

    All Michigan fans are in denial.

    They are talking smack because he isn't our coach YET.. I can't wait to see the threads on here when Meyer is hired.

    Everyone is going to be scared shitless..

    Not just here but the rest of the Big 10.

    Sure you are going to have the haters that say he isn't the same because of health or that he doesn't have Tebow... He does have Braxton!!

    We're also 1-0 against him.

  • I can honestly say I'm not scared of Meyer going to OSU. I think OSU will probably be very good with him, they'll recruit well, they'll win a lot of games. But I really think we will, too. I think we potentially will benefit from Hoke's emphasis on defense. Meyer's teams had some good defenses, obviously, but it's really not his strength. I also think we will benefit somewhat in recruiting from being the only team running a pro style among us, OSU, and ND, the big three in the midwest.

    The point is that OSU will probably be really good if they hire Meyer, but we will be, too. And we may have some great battles in the upcoming years. You can recognize that they will be good and still think the two programs will be pretty even and have some great games with high stakes. That's how this rivalry is supposed to be. Why would we be scared of that?

    There really is a disconnect in the minds of buckeye fans. Extra benefits for your players is cheating, it helps immensely in recruiting as well. Please don't be so naive as to believe that the vest only found out about this culture of cheating, that he himself propagated, last year.

    Please don't be so naive as to think it doesn't happen at your school as well.

    It happens at every bigtime school, it's just a matter of keeping it a secret.

    I understand what you're saying but if every school does it, how are we the cheaters ? Can you tell me with 100% certainty that UM players do not get ANY extra benefits ?

    This would be the ideal scenario. The '06 game was EPIC ! That's the way it should be between our schools. I can't lie though, I have enjoyed the last 10 years. lol

    Lol, riiiight. We're trembling in our boots. I wouldn't take any other coach over Hoke period! Well perhaps if they were somehow able to clone Bo maybe?

    Lol you are an idiot. Carr whooped Meyer's ass with Tebow. I'm sure Hoke will do just fine.

    LMAO. I don't justify anything, what they did was wrong but let's be realistic about what took place. Your generalization of the situation is what's funny. These kids traded their own memorabilia for tats, please tell me how that helped tOSU win any games.

    So there's no $100 handshakes going on or players getting a free pizza ?

    My point is this, it's impossible to monitor these players 24 hours a day, especially in the offseason. So, you, me, the coaches have no clue what really happens.

    Because it helps with recruits. If a recruit visits OSU, sees all the stuff the players have and talks to the players about what they can do and how they get extra stuff, that's going to make OSU look very attractrive to a recruit. Recruiting advantages help to win games
