    Meyer is/was an elite coach. 

    But he also did a lot of shady shit or was alleged to have done a lot of shady shit. 

    I get Columbus circled the wagons and loves the guy. Most everywhere else he's considered s sleazeball. The OSU fan response to that will be "they hate him cuz they can't beat him!" or whatever. That's fine. The Smith scandal proved there's no convincing there.

    Speaking of Smith, Urban has plenty of time to clean up Zach's leftover dildos in the office now. 

    Part of that (hate) is Urban, much of it is directed at tOSU. 

    I know you're aware many an NCAA Football fan base has hated tOSU since Woody Hayes.  

    Woody brought much of it, most of it upon himself. He couldn't control himself and got himself fired.

    The last incident was the Gator Bowl in 1978 vs Clemson, when a kid baited Woody by waving an intercepted ball in his face. The same classy program that had it's marching band do a "script 31-0" instead of celebrating a CFP championship. 

    Urban obviously isn't alone in "sleazeballdom."

    A lot of it is directed at Meyer. Because he had a history. A pattern

    Kinda hard to say Woody was "baited". He's a grown man and head coach. I'd expect him to have more self control than a 21 year old

    Lots of speculation about why he's retiring. Reporters writing stuff to get "clicks." SECRant.com fans cheering/bashing Urban Meyer and tOSU. I'm sure Paul Finebaum will continue to smear him.

    All I know is Urban went 82-9 at tOSU and had them in contention for the National title every season. 

    And with a record like that, fans will let a lot slide

    And with the record  like that a lot a hater assholes will crop up all over the place. Oh hello Woody

    Exactly, Florida did but as it all started coming out my view  and many other's turned 180 and I for one was glad to see him go.. Dude has a lot of blood on his hands.

    Huge party a Harbaugh's tonight! 😁

    Literal blood too depending on how you view the Hernandez thing

    Feckless fuckers like you don’t have a clue. Hernandez was responsible for killing people. Zach Smith was responsible for the domestic violence if it even happened. Urban Meyer didn’t do a goddamn one bit of any of those things. I guess maybe it’s the judge in me that says put responsibility where it belongs and don’t try to lay it on other people.

    Are you part of the detritus. 

  •  I wouldv’e thought the school would go out and do a full coach search

    Not sure if harbutt is happy or sad. He won’t get the chance to beat Meyer. But then again he won’t have to TRY and beat Meyer

    Jim Harbaugh me soon be thinking NFL.

    Party? I imagine Jim harbaugh is more than a little disappointed because no matter where he goes from here the knock will now forever be that he could never get the job done against Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer will now be the Boogeyman of his career forever and there's nothing he can do about it. 

    Yep. There is a portion of the fanbase disappointed he is retiring basically for that exact reason.

    I know a lot here won't agree with this, but the previous two games were well coached by Michigan and outperformed OSU compared to expectations. This last game was bad defensively (for reasons I've already covered) but we've been steadily improving under Harbaugh. This past season looked like OSU might be heading the other way. Harbaugh is incredibly, incredibly competitive. I'm sure he hated the news.

    You’re just double dumb ass wrong about the out coaching and outperforming business maybe one game in the entire last five

    While I don't agree that OSU was going the other way, per se, I am at a loss to explain how we possibly lost so horribly to Perdue. There's no rational explanation for it.

    How can a 12-1 season, back-to-back BIG TEN Championship, Rose Bowl bound team, just about guaranteed top 10 or maybe top 5 team be going the other way?

    Purdue was just one of those B10, road, trap games with an underdog team it just happened -or- right now they'd probably be playing Clemson and we'd be discussing can either  beat Alabama.

    And missing Bosa all year, not one of their best teams of the past two decades.

    I'm OK with it but moving on will have it's challenges. GO BUCKEYES, just beat m and win 12+ games every year!  😆

  • Meyer was a great coach, even better recruiter.  But as far as in game coach he was average.  A lot of the games came down to he had the horses to impose there will on the other team.  Half time adjustments we’re usually nonexistent.  So Ohio state will probably not see that big of a drop off.  Do think I am slamming Meyer he did a hell of a job, but what I am talking about is in game coaching.  So going forward Ryan day is not the answer and I hope they keep him where he is at oc.  As far as the head coach goes Meyers replacement need to be a guy who can get the best from the best and the most from the least.  Matt Campbell at Iowa st I feel is the guy for the job.  Ohio native turned that program around with 1-2and 3 start recruits.  But as for Meyer thanks for the great job. 

  • They already signed Day to a 5 year deal I thought

    Initally I heard something like $4.5M/year probably with incentives and TV stuff, etc. Better than the pros!

    .......oh, edit add.....

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State’s new head coach Ryan Day signed a term sheet as a preliminary agreement for a five-year contract with a payout of $4.5 million annually.

    The contract includes a handful of incentives ranging from conference championships to winning individual coaching awards. Day will officially take over as head coach Jan. 2 following Ohio State’s matchup with Washington in the Rose Bowl.

    Here’s is a look at the term sheet that set the terms of Day’s contract:

  • In my opinion a job like Ohio State, Alabama, Oklahoma, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas etc...any of the big name schools is s better job than the NFL.

    The only "pain in the azz" part is recruiting and playing cop/nurse maid to a bunch of 18-22 year old kids.......and the other stuff, media, boosters, stupid stuff.

    BUT working on a major campus, great lifestyle, all that is nice and even smaller schools pay $1M and up now. Assistants at OSU can make $600,000 or more.

    Nice work if you can get it.😉

    Compared to expectations?????

    You were favored to win. And got  smoked by 23 which could’ve been over 30 had OSU not felt bad for you and taken a knee at the end 

    OSU also settled for 2 fg’s inside the 10 yard line. 

  • Previous two, I meant the two before this last one.
