Shows how little you know about OSU.
Yeah, right. OSU is the pillar of doing everything right...Nooooooooooopeee
You hope...No way. When Saban retires, it will not be "good for Bama". Day may turn out to be a very good coach, but the odds that he will be as good as Meyer are less than 5%.
Against the NCAA?
Really?
The NCAA has nothing to do with it (which was a very considered move on the part of the P5 conference leaders)
You hope...
These are the OSU fans that crack me up and spoil the reputation of the rational fans. Someone else said it perfectly...BEST CASE scenario, Day ends up being equal to Urban. That seems unlikely. People that have never been a head coach don't just instantly become on the same level as Saban. So odds are there will be some sort of drop off. Ohio State is still a hugely successful football factory - they are still going to be really good regardless. But to pretend they just keep humming along at Urban Meyer level or higher is foolish. They are still trying to find a coach to replace him down in Florida.You hope...
To be fair I think LJ was toxic because he coached for Joe.
Just think of how things might have been different if our BOT would have fought to defend the reputation of the university. Look at how OSU dealt with spousal abuse issue or the wrestlers accusing their assistant coach of ignoring sexual assault complaints. Not to mention how MSU BOT handled the Nassar issue.
The Nassar situation at MSU was MUCH worse that what happened at PSU. A lot of athletes/victims reported abuse directly to MSU administrators. NONE of JS's victims reported anything to PSU officials. All PSU administrators got was a second hand report where MM was unsure about what he witnessed. The two cases are not even comparable yet PSU is the school that got hammered.Funny, the OSU and and MSU scandals were way worse, and the "PSU scandal" was non-existent... yet the MSU/OSU repercussions were pretty much non-existent, and PSU got hammered.

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer plans to step down and will coach his final game in the Rose Bowl, sources told Yahoo Sports.
A myriad of factors contributed to Meyer’s decision, but sources say foremost among them was his happiness with the state of the Ohio State program he inherited seven years ago. Meyer, 54, will be replaced by Ryan Day, the 39-year-old offensive coordinator who served as Ohio State’s interim coach earlier this season. The university will announce Day as the permanent replacement on Tuesday, and the team was scheduled to be informed in a meeting early Tuesday morning.
With the Buckeyes coming off back-to-back Big Ten titles, Meyer views this as a similar transition to Oklahoma in 2017 when Bob Stoops handed over the Sooner program to Lincoln Riley.
The Rose Bowl against Washington on Jan. 1 will mark Meyer’s last game, a fitting ending for an Ohio native who grew up watching Woody Hayes coach in Rose Bowls. Meyer has never coached in the Rose Bowl, and he’ll enter it with a record of 186-32.
Meyer’s career helped define a generation of college football, as he helped usher the spread offense into the mainstream by leading Utah to an undefeated season and Fiesta Bowl victory in 2004. Meyer went on to win two BCS titles at Florida, where he coached Tim Tebow to the Heisman Trophy and dueled with Nick Saban and Les Miles to help fuel the rise of the SEC.
Meyer closed his career in Columbus, where he led the Buckeyes to the 2014 national title and finished his seven seasons 82-9 with a winning percentage just over 90 percent, a 7-0 record against rival Michigan and a 54-4 record in regular season Big Ten play.
Meyer finishes with three national championships – two BCS titles at Florida and a College Football Playoff title at Ohio State. He also led two other undefeated seasons separate from the title winners – Utah in 2004 and Ohio State in 2012. He can still add to his 11-3 bowl record in Pasadena.
The timing of the announcement so soon after the regular season came because Ohio State officials wanted to be open and transparent with recruits, sources said, as coaches are out on the road this week putting together the 2019 class. Ohio State has 15 verbal commitments, but the class has been generally static compared to past years as recruits and their families waited on Meyer to address his future.
Part of the reasoning for Meyer stepping down stemmed from his health. He’s endured painful and aggressive headaches as a result of a congenital arachnoid cyst in his brain. He had brain surgery in 2014 to help relieve the pain, but it had returned in spurts the past two seasons and, at times, limited him from performing the job with the required intensity.
The image of Meyer dropped to a knee and hunched over in pain has resonated as one of the dominant images in college football this season. Doctors had begun to caution Meyer about long-term risks.
The decision comes at the end of a tumultuous season for Meyer, as he was suspended for all of summer training camp and the season’s first three weeks in the wake of an investigation into allegations of illegal and illicit behavior by a former assistant coach. A subsequent suspension forced Meyer to miss the season’s first three games.
He’s been a great coach at every stop, and the game will be a little less interesting without him.
I'm no Urban Meyer fan but he's one of the few who had the class to attend Joe's memorial service. Jay said that Meyer had two pictures of himself with Joe in his office to this day.
Coaches have $5m+ salaries riding on their recruiting success. This makes a lot of them sleazy.i find any coach currently trying to poach tOSU players to be sleezy.
I don't know, but the OSU president definitely didn't lose.
The odds of Day being the second best coach in college football next season are very low.
I guess I should have been more clear with what I was thinking.These are the OSU fans that crack me up and spoil the reputation of the rational fans. Someone else said it perfectly...BEST CASE scenario, Day ends up being equal to Urban. That seems unlikely. People that have never been a head coach don't just instantly become on the same level as Saban. So odds are there will be some sort of drop off. Ohio State is still a hugely successful football factory - they are still going to be really good regardless. But to pretend they just keep humming along at Urban Meyer level or higher is foolish. They are still trying to find a coach to replace him down in Florida.
I'm really surprised they are going with an on-the-job training coach again instead of getting someone that has proven they can run a program already.
You don’t think Meyer would be doing it if someone else that successful was retiring and he was staying?agree - and personally I am not happy to see Urban go. he raised everyone and neutralized a total wacko of a person at UM. this may turn out to be even more serious than portrayed. i find any coach currently trying to poach tOSU players to be sleezy.
Do you hire a coach who proclaims respecting women is his No. 1 priority but allows star tailback Carlos Hyde to return to the team after just a three-game suspension when video evidence showed Hyde slapping a woman at a bar?
I know I'm stupid, but here it goes. Why isn't Tosu conducting a national search for leyer's replacement? Is Day the best option?
My mistake..,NCAA does not control this..but something drastic will have to happen to effect change.,, it is all about the $$$$ ... so hard to work out various scsenarios with the Bowls unless there is a big win for them..
What a bunch of crap by a lying pos. Hyde barely pushed this girl and wasn't prosecuted. There is still a Youtube video. Hyde gained 1500 yards that year and could have been in the running for a Heisman if he hadn't received substantial punishment for virtually nothing.

Oh no, something unfair was done to osu and someone from osu didn't get a trophy. Boo f@ckin' hoo buckeye.
I am glad you have such a sincere interest in the facts and the truth.
Probably not a great thing to bring up to a Penn State fan.I am glad you have such a sincere interest in the facts and the truth.
Dude, I graduated from Penn State. What's the truth? Who cares about the TRUTH? What a joke. You're precious man.
Probably not a great thing to bring up to a Penn State fan.
It was 81 degrees.I agree that Penn State, and many other institutions and people get smeared by the Legacy Media and social media. I just try to do my small thing to fight obvious lies against OSU.
Interesting to note when people talk about Durkin and the death of the Maryland player (which was due to very incompetent training staff), no one mentions that the high temperature that day was 68 degrees.
I think Mike McCarthy will be the next HC of the Packers. Who is doing the picking? Where did he come from?I don’t see Saban leaving. He may already be there, but another title or two can make him the undisputed GOAT in college football.
Meyer is from the Cleveland area and the Browns also need a coach. I don’t think it will happen, but one can’t be sure.
It was 81 degrees.
Nope...anything that makes our competitors worse helps us.I'm going to miss having him there. Regardless of what you think about him as a person, I always want the best possible coaches in this division to make this division as interesting as possible. We have so many interesting/fun games to look forward to in this division every year. Every year I look forward to this game more than any other, and I want to beat his team that when we did break through and win in 2016, it felt so good being in that stadium and experiencing that win. Ryan Day may be a great coach, but he is rather unproven, and it is a stretch to say at this point that long term he can keep up what Meyer has built, because pretty much no one can short of Saban. Short term OSU will be largely the same because of the talent that they already have there.
Even if we don't win the division every year, it makes when we do win them that much more satisfying. I'd certainly rather be in this division than, say, the division Clemson is in.
81 still shouldn’t cause heat exhaustion.I never saw a temperature and when I went to national weather center, it showed high was 68. I double checked, and did see one news source mentioning 81 degrees. You are right and I was wrong. The day before was 68.
I thought after what went down to start the season that this would be his final one with OSU.
Now since all the information about his brain cyst came out I pretty much figured it was his last.
If he was acting during the MD game he deserves and Emmy.
I know people had a lot of issues with him and with good reason but honestly he doesn't bother me nearly
as much as Harbaugh, Narduzzzi or Dantonio do. I really hate those guys.
