Badger_HB Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Saw this tweet over on Illinois Loyalty this morning: @ elevenwarriors We are 99.7% sure Urban Meyer has agreed to a deal to become the next coach of Ohio State. Solid sources. Plural. Take that for what it's worth, but these rumors have been floating around for a while now. If it's true, look out Big Ten. 1 Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 not worried, while urban had some good teams he also had some bad teams in between. plus its probably just someone trying to say they were right first and broke the news so they threw out a pretty high percentage guess.

knapplc Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 If he legitimately has health concerns, diving back into coaching isn't a great idea. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Mixed feelings on this...good for the Conference? Maybe Good for teams playing OSU? No Quote Link to comment
Woody Tressel Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Here are 2 links on this. Oh Yeah! if true... http://www.footballscoop.com/news/5111-urban-to-ohio-state and http://www.thebuckeyebattlecry.com/2011/11/urban-meyer-update/ Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 If he gets hired this month OSU wont skip a beat. I hope it takes them until after bowl games though. Urban could pull quite a recruiting class with only a few months if he were hired soon. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I doubt he'd jump until the certainty of potential sanctions were known....................... Quote Link to comment

Solid sources. Plural. Take that for what it's worth, but these rumors have been floating around for a while now. If it's true, look out Big Ten. A 99.7% confidence level on the Internet is about 50/50 in real life. I'll believe it when I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jarred04 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/meyer-agrees-to-coach-buckeyes-building-staff-29902 "Multiple sources close to the Ohio State football program have confirmed that Urban Meyer is assembling a coaching staff after agreeing to become the next head football coach at Ohio State. The deal between Meyer and Ohio State was consummated in principle earlier this week in Columbus but not signed. It includes a multi-year contract that will make Meyer once again one of college football’s highest paid coaches." Also... @pat_dooley: I can only tell you what Urban just texted me back about rumor that he has accepted job at Ohio State -- "No truth to it." Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 That source also says that Meyer wants Herbstreit as an assistant coach. I'm not sure which is harder to believe, that Meyer would take a guy with no coaching experience, or that Herbstreit would leave a pretty cushy high paying job to be an assistant.

chamrocck Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Also... @pat_dooley: I can only tell you what Urban just texted me back about rumor that he has accepted job at Ohio State -- "No truth to it." I think Nick Saban said the same thing not too long ago. I never really understood why he left Florida? If he is coming back so soon, either his health issue was never a big deal anyway or was used to get him out of Florida? After Tebow left, Florida has never been the same and maybe he saw the doom coming in years to come from LSU and Bama. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Mixed feelings on this...good for the Conference? Maybe Good for teams playing OSU? No how about that, osu has a big scandal and their punishment is getting basically a sure mnc. frustrating. Quote Link to comment
