Urban Meyer is full of it

Your forgetting the part where he has admitted OSU is his dream job. He grew up in Ohio, coached at OSU previously, and seems rather content at OSU. But other than that he is going to jump ship to ND who hasn't been relevant since the 80's.

Urban Meyer will jump ship because that is what Urban Meyer does.

Urban called ND his dream job more then once.

He likes to get to the top of the mountain, he does not like trying to stay there.

Once. At Florida. When he left Bowling Green and Utah, can you really call that jumping ship? He was following the normal coaching path. Florida, yes, he had a meltdown and jumped ship. But he's not exactly Lou Holtz. Not yet, anyways.

OSU grabbed a hired gun. They don't stick around at the end of the movie....they either get shot or ride away with flames smoldering in the background.

Are we talking about the Urban haters of 2012 or the Urban haters of 2008?

I don't understand all the ''one and one''talk,about a man who is going to lead the team out of NCAA sanctions and back to respectability.Much like Saban has done at Alabama when they finally got out from under the NCAA's grasp.Why anyone would want to leave a coaching job at a premier football program for an irrelevant Notre Dame squad is beyond me.

Alabama has vacated wins under Saban and has only spent a few months of his tenure actually off of NCAA probation. Just sayin'.

I understand your opinion. Believe me, I have my own doubts. I'm not Urban's biggest fan. Never have been. And while I'm excited about his regime, I'm not drinking heavy Kool-Aid either.

That being said, we don't have to worry about him leaving any time soon. If he leaves OSU like he left Florida, and if it happens soon, he can kiss his coaching career goodbye. I think he understands that.

Is Saban really any different? The way he ditched Michigan State, LSU, and the Dolphins?

Nah, he'll get another job, same as Bobby Petrino, winning makes everything else moot.

I suggest going to mlb.com and pulling up the current mlb standings and just study that page for about ten minutes.Don't think about why the standings look the way they do just look at them for what they are.Make sure you check out the NL central real close and I think it will help.Doing this has been helping me when I've found myself in a bad mood lately.

Ohio State has always, always, always been Urban's dream job and don't let anyone tell you differently. It might not be his last job, but it's always been his most coveted job since he started coaching. That's in his authorized biography too, for the record. There's a whole chapter dedicated to his being a lifelong Ohio State fan and dreaming of coaching there one day.

Urban had been telling very close friends for the last several years that he hoped to have a shot at the Ohio State job. In fact, he had heard rumors that Tressel was going to retire in the next few years and when he left Florida, he told a few people he'd consider getting back into coaching if the Ohio State job opened up.
