    How long do you think Meyer will be at OSU, and what do you think he'll be doing after?

    I think he will be here at the minimun 10 years.

    And when he retires, he will be sitting back counting his 6-10 rings

    10 years from now!?

    Haha, I realize that...

    I'll have whatever you guys are smoking. You and early Miami Lebron. "not 1, not 2. Not 3, not 4..."

  • Harbaugh will still have 0 rings.

  • Michigan, LOL.

  • When Ohio,State hired Myer everyone in Tampa went on a hate binge. Not me, my Dad went there, I went there, and Urban is worth the money.

    Ohio State coach Urban Meyer's new salary of $6.5 million is more than all but seven NFL coaches earn.

    I wonder if that will affect his budget for assistant coaches. One of the reasons Harbaugh volunteered to take less (he was offered slightly higher than this $6.5m I think) was to have more money bringing in top level assistants.

    I can't think of the last major hire where this wasn't said. Call me when a coach doesn't ask for a raise or extension for this purpose. Sumlin said this when he was hired (and he was hired very cheaply), then reamed us for $5M in only his second season. THEN made us go drop $1.8 just on a DC to cover up his failure.

  • Sucks for you.

    We have some very experienced, highly sought after assistants. Many with NFL experience. If they want the money, give it to them. Harbaugh is a good guy for taking less. If he wants more down the road, give it to him. He's easily worth it.

    We're Michigan for Christ's sake. We have the money.

  • Yeah and I'm saying if you have the money then you should just give up the whole "oh he's such a great guy for taking less money so we can get better assistants" ruse. And yes, it was bogus when we used it too, both with Sumlin and Sherman.

  • Well, he did. I mean, he said he did, and our original offer I out there. Up until recently Michigan has been a cheapskate in regards to the assistant coaches.

  • Right. I know that. But that is said by most head coaching hires that I have seen.

  • I guess. I would say though that the salary being offered to Harbaugh originally was higher than what 95% of colleges have ever offered a coach.

    Thankfully, with Brandon out at AD, we're actually paying coaches appropriately. We have a shit load of money, get the best coach and give him the resources he needs to get the best staff.

  • Is he boning any cheerleaders yet?
