Urban Meyer to step down afterRose Bowl

[LuteHawk]

The doctors of Urban Meyer have cautioned him about
the stress of remaining as a football coach. His brain
cyst is a serious health problem and perhaps retirement
will help him.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Urban did OK: 82-9, 3 Big 10 Titles.1 National Championship. We will probably never see anything like that in the Big 10 again. I believe the Hawks are 55-35 during the same period.

Hey cheating pays off. Not cheating doesn't.....

 

[wolve1972]

I know nothing about Day. Will he at least be able to maintain the doucheiness level that the urb established?

Somebody like Lane Kiffin comes more to mind, although he falls well short in on field results.

Will be interesting on how this plays out. But the two names constantly brought up whenever a HC opened up were Matt Campbell and Ryan Day. Sure sounds like OSU did not want to lose him as they were giving him one raise after another and even gave him an extra bonus for those 3 games he won as HC while Urban was suspended

 

[M3 ME PLEASE]

JFC, stop reading into things. Why would I worry when we are 2-0 against him! The only thing nice might be the extra recruiting advantage we might get on that side of the state. My point is that he is a very good coach, and isn't he from Ohio?

3-0 to be correct

 

[PlutoDroid]

I think this was the plan all along, that 3 game suspension was a way to appease the "public outrage" and give the successor a redshirt type run.

That team loaded with talent has not been the same the last couple years. You don't lose by 29 and 31 points in successive seasons with that talent advantage. You can't tell me that his health didn't affect his ability to be the perfectionist detail oriented guy he was.

People will mock a program like Iowa for handing Ferentz extension after extension, but the man gets the most out of his talent and he runs a very clean program. The question is can Iowa ever catch enough magic in the bottle and have a perception changing season in which they finish off the year with a bang.

If you fire Ferentz or he retires next year, what is the list of coaches you can attract? Will they recruit better? Can they create a scheme unique enough to offset the talent if they cant?

Sounded like Day was on the short list for Maryland so this is probably true. Almost same thing with OU and Lincoln Riley.

And this is relevant how exactly? Was Meyer coaching at Iowa or OSU? I forget I guess....

 

[kceasthawk]

Yeah, hate on the guy all you want, but dude knows how to win football games.

Very good then. How about Meyer takes over at Kansas, and see how many titles he wins......

 

[wolve1972]

And take this for what it's worth, but "supposedly" he turned down the Mississippi State HC job last year along with NFL OC positions to remain at OSU. Definitely a star in the making BUT being promoted from OC to head coach at a power like OSU ??? Time will tell.

 

[millah_22]

After stepping down a second time for health and then the domestic thing I'd be surprised if he coaches a time soon

If he can bring wins to a starving program, they'll hire him.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

He would win. Like Calipari in hoops, it seems UM has a built in recruiting base. Recruits go where he goes.

Hey cheating pays off. Not cheating doesn't.....

LOL....You guys never change and it's cute...Ohio State doesn't have to cheat to win or to get recruits to come and play at OSU and neither does Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma, ND or any other elite program that has a winning history, so being an elite program that actually wins championships pays off. Being a program that accepts mediocrity doesn't....

I'm sad that Urban is retiring, but I'm also excited to see what Coach Day will do with the program and if he can convince Haskins to come back for one more year...then go ahead and pencil us into the BIG Championship Game next year as well. We will also continue to whip the Skunkweasels as long as khakis is their coach.

Lol most of those schools cheat.....especially Bama.

Yes you don't need to....but you do.

Two questions

1 Do the Kansas and NC basketball programs have to cheat?

2 Do the Kansas and NC basketball programs cheat?

 

[wolve1972]

Lol most of those schools cheat.....especially Bama.

Yes you don't need to....but you do.

Proof ? No, the blue bloods don't have to cheat. It's schools like Mississippi that rise to the top overnight that sends out cheating vibes.

 

[Buck2427]

Lol most of those schools cheat.....especially Bama.

Yes you don't need to....but you do.

LOL..okay you win..haha. Bama is on a different level and if they are cheating, ESPN will cover for them, we are not ESPN's darlings anymore, so if we were they would call the NCAA themselves and Pawl Finebaum would say he posed as a recruit and Urban offered him five cars and 1 million dollars and then Urban called Rick Pitino and had some hookers sent over....

 

[kceasthawk]

He might win, but not championships, and certainly not with any consistancy, but your entitled to believe that if you want.

 

[Wadzinator]

Meyer to Green Bay? That was my first thought when I saw the news.

No way the guy can't handle stress

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Fat man had them #3 in the country. UM certainly could if he could. Not saying every year but they would be good.

 

[ANYCHawk]

If he can bring wins to a starving program, they'll hire him.

I'm not sure Urban will be jumping for an illinois or vanderbilt job.

 

[SansSouci]

I don’t know if he’s a piece of crap or not, I just feel for him dealing with a horrible health issue. That arachnoid brain cyst is no joke, I’d shoot myself. I’m upset the BIG will have no teams to compete for a natty when he leaves. The only team that could beat OSU in the playoffs this year is Alabama. Purdue was just a fluke.

 

[B1G]

I remember when Urban was hired and I posted on this board that as good of a coach that he was he wouldn't put up better numbers than Tressel did. I was wrong.
Ryan Day has been talked about as one of the top young coaches for a few years now. OSU must have been sure he was their man. Will be interesting.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Nothing with Urban is ever at face value. I wish he’d just admit that.

 

[millah_22]

I'm not sure Urban will be jumping for an illinois or vanderbilt job.

I was thinking more along the lines of a USC/LSU/Nebraska type starving where they think they should be on top but nobody thinks of them as on top anymore.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

Urban did OK: 82-9, 3 Big 10 Titles.1 National Championship. We will probably never see anything like that in the Big 10 again. I believe the Hawks are 55-35 during the same period.

that must be pretty hard with 15 4/5* kids in your state every year with no in state competition.
it must be hard to win with all those "fall backs" in your backyard.....
1 year in the past 5 he hasn't lost a game he shouldn't have.
way impressive

You are right, OSU has a lot going for them as far as recruiting. The school's history and high expectations of winning definitely help, as well as being in a state that is heavily populated and rich in football talent. Iowa lacks some of the built in attributes that Ohio State has in their state. I'm an Iowa fan, living in Columbus, and will not miss Urban Meyer. I like Coach Day and think he will do a good job.

 

[HawkLogic]

Urban obviously a good coach record wise and certainly great recruiter. Harbaugh and KF are probably the two happiest guys in B1G. Harbaugh couldn't beat Urban, and KF ends his matches with Urban with an epic ass kicking of OSU that came out of no where.

KF was 1-1 vs him and outscored him by 20+ points in those 2 games.
He wouldn't mind seeing him stick around ;0

Pretty much.

Meh.

Again the blue bloods don't need to cheat.....but you do.

 

[biggreydogs]

He'll be back in a couple of years when things settle down and he finds the right situation. Once his "health" improves

Alabama

 

[kceasthawk]

Fat man had them #3 in the country. UM certainly could if he could. Not saying every year but they would be good.

In a time when the big 12, especially the north division was absolutely horrible. Even worse then the current situation.

Didn’t Oh St just get busted a few years ago for cheating? Anyway, I’m sorry I interrupted you. Please proceed.

Got to hand it to those 3, while they may not get back to the top they are at least trying to get there. Recent hires and recruiting have them trending up.
Ohio st. will be the same, Day is a good hire.

If you look at our recruiting under Meyer maybe 30% of the kids came from Ohio. The majority of our recruits came from out of state. Urban did not "fall back" on many Ohio kids.

Busted for what? I don't recall the NCAA busting OSU for anything while Urban has been coaching....
