Quote:Anyone who follows Ohio State should NOT have been surprised when Urban announced his retirement.  It was apparent that he was NOT well.

He was not 'well' when he left Florida. I suspect he's using this angle to avoid confrontation with the current OSU President. I knew when that dude threw Meyer under the bus it was game, set, and match. I said "It would not surprise me to hear Meyer stepping down at the end of the season" on the NH 2.0. I was never on the team that claimed health issues. I'm not denying he has health issues either.

Urban is in the long tradition of successful football coaches who throw a hissy fit and quit for 'health' or 'family' reasons when it is suggested that their stubborness in adaptability has cost their team some success in a given period of time.............Barrett at QB, Zach Smith on staff...............

I agree. Add the investigation that found him guilty of nothing yet tOSU President throws him under the bus. I could see it in his eyes and it was not good. He might coach again but it won't be in cbus. The college football fan in me wants him at USC. I always wondered what he'd do at Texas, USC, Clemson, and Georgia with all that talent.

If Willie shits the bed (again), Urban could end up in Tallahassee.  Wouldn't that be ironic?  LOL.  

Last August I was on a USC board defending Urban against attack by their fans.  Once Urban resigned from tOSU, apparently all was forgiven and they are excited about the thought of Urban being their head coach.  LOL.

It will have to wait as Fields isn't going to throw 30 TD passes in a season. I just don't see it. He'll be more of a 20 pass 15 run TD type.

Every time this thread falls off the front page and then pops up to the top... my first thought is "Who committed?"

+1... don't count on JF setting college football on fire with his passing prowess next year.

It will take time for JF to be a passing QB. Watch QB1 on Netflix and you'll see he would have 20 carries in a game. Based on his athletic ability, he developed a different skill set than DH developed. DH read defenses, audible protection schemes, and went through the progressions... skills that are very difficult to master.

I was committed.  Does that count?  

Justin better be able to hit his targets. If has to run often, I fear he'll end up in a cast.

Givler has this "RB"... to The Good Guys

Day has proven he can recruit, no doubt. I have to believe he can hire better assistants than urban. Warriner, Beck, Smith all subpar.
I donâ€t see this team missing a beat.
