Urban Meyer to step down after Rose Bowl

posted by Ironman92

In other news...after wasting my time on Twitter....

What are the odds he coaches again in about 3 years?

What part of this is him not agreeing how that mess was handled by OSU and his 4 game suspension?

I bet he does in a couple of years. His doctor will have found a way to "manage" the cyst and still coach. Not to sound morbid but the guy could die any day or live to be 100. If the latter happens, I think he'll be bored out of his mind and want to return if he can, physically. He's only 54 years old.

after throwing both Meyer and Smith under the bus, they both prolly told him to stay the fuck away

I agree with this.  I wished Gene Smith had done the same as the president and stayed away as well. I think he was equally culpable for what ended up coming down on Urban.  I'm not a fan of his.  

I also and excited about Ryan Day.  Obviously he is recognized within the "industry" and very highly regarded.  I trust that reputation very much.  Being able to have a capable coach who is already in the program step in takes away a lot of the "fog of transition"  If Urban stay connected with Ohio State in some way, I hope he respects Day's position as coach and advises only when asked.  I'm pretty sure he will act in this way.

I assume the players like and respect Day.  Does anyone  have any insight on this particular issue?

Maybe Haskins stays if he likes Day

I highly doubt it. Can't pass up being a top 10 pick

24 hours and 2 commits have backed off. Neither are ruling OSU out completely, but basically opening it all back up.

Yeah; you have a coaching change and some recruits are gonna back off because Day wasn't the integral guy in the recruiting process and Urban was THE MAN and now won't be there. If they're interested in OSU and not just Urban AND Day is as interested in them as Urban was, they'll be meeting and the Bucks will still have a legit shot at landing them.
