Not sure about that. Urban won even at places where he was outgunned/outspent. He’s morally challenged but he won everywhere and his teams are typically very tough minded.
All is not well in Buckeye Land

Maybe at Utah, but who knows what he was doing there behind the scenes. He wasn’t being outspent at Florida or OSU, that’s for sure. College football is filled with “football geniuses”, many of them know more football than Urban, yet only a couple win all the time….hmm, I wonder why. And why didn’t their football genius carry over to the NFL?
After OSU's Offensive showing yesterday, I think many OSU followers would agree with you
Turned Bowling Green around in an instant. He’s a fantastic coach. Garbage guy, but great coach
Again, there are a ton of very good coaches in college football, but only a few reach “elite” level consistently….they’re doing something beyond what everyone else is doing and now that they can’t, there doesn’t seem to be any more elite coaches (except the one who’s outspending everyone else openly).
I gotta think some OSU big $ guys and alumni have reached out to Marcus Freeman or his agent to gauge his interest in coming home. In my mind, that’s the OSU slam dunk hire. He keeps Hartline to run the offense and maybe keeps Knowles to handle the defense.
I pray they hire Marcus Freeman--that would be a disaster
If Freeman leaves it will be for Chicago though--we aren't that lucky
I could be wrong and thinking of someone else, but didn't Buckeye grad Freeman slam OSU a couple of years ago over the way they admitted football players ? I think they have parted ways
Well, after the buy out, how much money will they have left over for the players and assistant coaches?

Harbaugh said the exact same thing re: Lloyd Carr’s teams and Michigan ignored it when it was time to bring Jimmy home
I would think they'd find someone to cover most of that 37M--but it's also why I think they'd promote Hartline--he's cheap with unlimited upside
Where is Gus Johnson with the "Captain Jack" Sawyer overdone announcer hyped call of that play???
Think I've read $37M? The rumors have been saying the boosters feel that's too high and they aren't ready to pay that much, and that Day is likely sticking around for now.
I’ll say one: Jack Sawyer could play on my team any day.
They have 2 5* QBs on the bench. On the ensuing down after Howard got hurt, they sent Brown out at QB before deciding on a time out. Howard came out with thumbs up and did a few jogs and was then put back in.
I just think they thought they could bully the ball on Michigan and never retreated from that.
Vrabel would be a stylistic shift for sure, but I'm not sure he would be interested in recruiting. His claim to fame is 2 playoff wins in his second year and never won another. Buckeye alum though, but is that important?
We will see what Day is made of as he recovers from this loss and prepares for the playoffs. He is coaching for his job now. They can still win it all.
Here's the interesting thing. If we win on Saturday we are probably the #1 seed (between us and Texas if they beat Georgia). If we are #1 then we could play OSU (assuming they win their first rd game) in our first game in the 1 vs 8 quarterfinal. Day would take that draw all day and twice on Sunday because as horrible as he is versus Michigan he cannot lose against us. My guess is Day is a big Nittany Lions fan this weekend.
